Building Chains (TW3K)
Total War: Three Kingdoms has a range of Building Chains that can be constructed in Commanderies and Regions on the Campaign Map. Major factions have variants on some of the chains giving them unique buildings and advantages.
Three Kingdoms Building Chains - Commandery
Settlement Administration
This building chain is effectively the city level of the commandery. The progression of 10 buildings takes the settlement from Small Town to Imperial City and increases prestige, population capacity, food consumption, income from peasantry, income from commerce, reserve capacity, building slots, battlemap defences and garrison.
Economic Buildings
Part of the Metal Wu Xing, these buildings reduce the construction cost of Learning & Market Buildings.
Labour
Focus on population growth. Branch at level four allows a choice between higher population growth or the addition of a % gain on industry income.
State Workshops
Focus on industry income. Chain branches at level three with the option to choose the Currency Inspector Office, Coin Maker & Grand Treasury Mint levels that help negate corruption. The Coin Maker and Grand Treasury Mint are especially useful for factions controlling a lot of regions as the corruption negation applies to adjacent commanderies.
Private Workshops
Enhances industry and commerce income. Branches at level five with the building giving higher multipliers requiring the Lumber resource.
Agriculture Buildings
Part of the Wood Wu Xing, these buildings reduce the construction cost of Military Buildings.
Government Support
Support peasantry income and food production. Branches at level three for either higher food production or higher peasantry income.
Land Development

Level five requires Commissioners of Passage reform.
Region Specific Chains
These chains relate to the subsidiary region types, each region type has a specific building chain that can be constructed. The levels of the chain function in a similar manner as Settlement Administration buildings for commandery capitals and provide garrisons and battlemap defence upgrades where applicable.
