• Coastal

Turtle Ship: Requires Astronomy, replaces Caravel

36 Strength vs a Caravel’s 20. If you want to steal a Coastal City or two, this is your time to do so – but overall, these are simply wonderful coastal defenders. Trouble is, they can’t cross Ocean so Korea is stunted in that department – units may still embark and cross these tiles with Astronomy, however.

Hwach’a: Requires Physics, replaces Trebuchet

The Hwach’a has 26 Ranged Strength vs a Trebuchet’s 14 and has +1 Sight, but loses the +200% bonus vs Cities. It is meant to be a unit killer and does so very well. It is about 33% weaker against Cities than a Trebuchet, but do not let that stop you from building them. They upgrade to Cannons and later Artillery, so they can do a wonderful job protecting your lands from invading forces while you continue your Scientific progress with this wonderful Civilization.

We’re excited to bring you our civ of the Month thread. This will be the 40th of many monthly themed threads to come, each revolving around a certain civilization from within the game. The idea behind each thread is to condense information into one rich resource for all viewers, which will be achieved by posting similar material pertaining to the weekly civilization. Have an idea for future threads? Share all input, advice, and criticisms below, so we can sculpt a utopia of knowledge! Feel free to share any and all strategies, tactics, stories, hints, tricks and tips related to Korea.
