okay so this guy is from like 3,500 years ago right? almost all we know about this guy is that he was a merchant and some guy didn't like the copper that was sold from him. We don't have any other evidence of the story, just one complaint tablet. The only thing that remains of the legacy of Ea-Nasir is one complaint letter, and we know basically nothing else about the guy.

You ever work customer service? You ever have a customer write a complaint about you? Ever get written up at work? Imagine 4,000 years from now, millennia after you've otherwise been long forgotten, some archeologists find an old Yelp review saying that you did a bad job at sweeping the floors or whatever, and now for the end of time people the world over know you as "That asshole from 4,000 years ago who can't sweep a floor very well" and that is what your entire life is eternally remembered by

so I think maybe we should cut my man Ea-Nasir a bit more slack here. Maybe he wasn't as shifty of a fellow as we think we was

Ea-Nasir made it into Total War Pharaoh Dynasties. There is even a hidden mechanic where he will cheat you in game during bartering.

Havent checked if you can play as Ea-Nasir but It should be easy doable via mods.

(Pharaoh Dynasties is my fave historical Total War since Attila btw)

Plus they put this cute little landmark as an other easter egg into the game.
