Korean (Civ6)

Civilization: Goguryeo

Leader: Gwanggaeto

Intro:

O supreme king Gwanggaeto, the feared armies of Goguryeo stand ready to expand your glorious domain at your command. Immortalize your nation and your people through your conquests, and your descendants will forever remember you in their steles as the Great King.

Detailed Approach:

Goguryeo is a military-focused civilization, especially under Gwanggaeto. Mountains are very beneficial to your empire, and your unique tile improvement helps with defense and the increasing of Loyalty in recently captured cities. Your unique unit, the Gaemamusa, is a speedy fighter and is best for capturing cities after your other units.

Capital: Gungnae

Cities: Pyongyang, Jolbon, Hwando, Wundu, Guonei, Taesong, Buyeo, Okjeo, Yemaek, Dongye, Lelang, Xuantu

Uses Korean citizen names

Ability: Land of the Sun Crow

Mountains provide +1 Faith. If the City Center is adjacent to a Mountain tile, the Palace provides +1 Housing and +1 Faith and City Centers in other cities provide +2 Faith.

Unique Unit: Gaemamusa

Replaces Knight. Has 5 Movement and a Ranged Attack with 2 Range and 40 Ranged Strength and 45 Combat Strength. If adjacent to a Mountain, no ranged attack penalty against District defenses.

Unique Infrastructure: Sanseong

Unlocked with Iron Working. Must be placed adjacent to a Mountain. Provides +2 Production. If adjacent to a district, provides an extra +1 Production. Units within 2 tiles of a Sanseong gain +4 Combat Strength. When at war, Sanseongs provide +2 of any Special Resource per turn needed to make military units you lack(given you have unlocked the technology needed to unlock the resource). When at peace, Sanseongs provide +2 Culture(and +2 Tourism with flight).

Leader Ability: Yeongnak

Conquered cities with a Holy Site or Sanseong gain +1 Loyalty per turn. Holy Sites provide +1 Great Prophet per turn point while at war. Cities following your Majority Religion suffer no War Weariness if at full loyalty.

Leader Agenda: Empire's Equal

Likes to conquer cities, and likes to settle near mountains. Likes those who conquer cities, and dislikes those who settle near mountains.

Greetings: I am Gwanggaeto, the supreme king of the magnificent nation of Goguryeo. Our nation is an equal to even the grandest of empires! Welcome.

Agenda Approval: You strive for glory, just as me and my armies do. Your accomplishments earn the respect of the Goguryeo people.

Agenda Disapproval: How can Goguryeo stay supreme when you are taking the spaces that we thrive in? We may have to reclaim these lands from you!

Attacked: War with Goguryeo is a foolish course that many have tried and many have failed in. Our mountain fortresses will stand tall as your armies crumble.

Declares War: My cavalry shall overwhelm your troops, and we will allow your people to bask in the shadow of our glory.

Defeated: What has happened? Where did I fail in my reign?

Quote: "Brothers are like arrows. If the older is the arrowhead, the younger is the feather and shaft."

Delegation: Hanbok, our famed traditional clothing, have been sent to your lands as a gift and sample of our culture.

Accepts Delegation: Your gifts were of much interest to our people. We learned a lot from your emissaries, who were given a tour of our fortresses on the mountainside.

Rejects Delegation: Your emissaries will have to wait another day.

Accepts Deal: A beneficial deal for Goguryeo.

Rejects Deal: Perhaps some other time...

Asks for Friendship: Our empires are equals, and with your acceptance, brothers.

Accepts Friendship: This friendship will be withheld with the utmost honor.

Rejects Friendship: Our empire makes its friends with only those who can help us thrive.

Denounce: Your empire is a shameful taint on the world. Someday a greater king than you will make the earth clean again.

Denounced: Your insults will be no match for my cavalry.

Invitation to City: Our traditional heating system, ondol, keeps our houses warm. You can learn how to it works if you accept my invitation.

Invitation to Capital: Gungnae, with its many tombs, is a sight to see. We would love to have you sample it.

Accepts Invitation: Very well.

Civilization: Korean

Leader: Gwanggaeto

Detailed approach: Under Gwanggaeto, the Hwacha becomes a lethal weapon. With early sources of Great General Points, the Hwacha can mobilize quickly and earn Promotions thanks to his splendid Temples. As always, the Seowon is essential to the Korean enterprise if they intend to win a Science Victory, but with a Temple in every city, a Domination and a Religious victory go hand in hand.

Civilization ability: Three Kingdoms

If adjacent to a Seowon, Farms receive +1 Food and Mines receive +1 Science.

Leader ability: Goguryeo

+100% Production towards Temples. Temples produce +2 Science and +1 Great General Point. All units gain +25% experience and start with a free Promotion when trained in a city with a Temple.

Leader agenda: Taewang

Tries to build as many Temples as possible, and likes civilizations that do the same. Dislikes civilizations with few Temples.

Preferred religion: Buddhism

Unique unit: Hwacha

Same as R&F.

Unique infrastructure: Seowon

Same as R&F.

Capital: Gungnae

Agenda-based disapproval: “Do you know the secret of my military might? It is through doing the very thing which you ignore!” (내 군대의 비밀을 아십니까? 그들은 당신이 무시하는 바로 그 일을하기 때문에 강합니다!/nae gundaeui bimil-eul asibnikka? geudeul-eun dangsin-i musihaneun balo geu il-eulhagi ttaemun-e ganghabnida!)

Greeting: “As the Supreme Emperor of Korea, I, Gwanggaeto look forward to discussing many things with you. Perhaps your people are as cultured and devout as mine.” (저는 고구려의 광개토왕입니다. 우리 백성은 부처와 같습니다. 당신의 백성이 부처와 같은지 알려주세요./jeoneun gogulyeoui gwang-gaetowang-ibnida. uli baegseong-eun bucheowa gatseubnida. dangsin-ui baegseong-i bucheowa gat-eunji allyeojuseyo.)

Quote from Civilopedia: “My life isn't important, but the dignity and class of Goguryeo is.” (내 삶은 중요하지 않지만 고구려의 품위는 중요하다./nae salm-eun jung-yohaji anhjiman gogulyeoui pum-wineun jung-yohada.)

Unvoiced:

Sends Delegation: “Please, accept these gifts from Goguryeo. They will help you on your path to greatness.”

Accepts Delegation From Player: “Very well, then. They may enter my kingdom.”

Rejects Delegation From Player: “We have no need of outsiders spying upon us.”

Accepts Player's Declaration of Friendship: “We only accept friendship with the deserving, and I guess that that includes you.”

Rejects Player's Declaration of Friendship: “You? A friend? I can always do with a laugh like that!”

Requests Declaration of Friendship: “At last, Goguryeo opens its gates to you, like it has done to so many empires over the years. What do you say?”

Denounced by Player: “Excuse me? You muddy the world with these false words? Good luck surviving this.”

Denounces Player: “I cannot suffer in silence while a tyrant destroys the world.”

Invitation to Capital: “Currently, my kingdom is ruled from Gungnae, though that could change. What of your kingdom?”

Invitation to City: “I see you to be near a city of mine. Would you like to visit?”

Accepts Invitation from Player: “I look forward to it.”

Flag:

I'm gonna start doing reworks. These reworks will be for civilizations deemed weak, hard to use, strange or just plain need fixing. Today's is gonna be Korea, because they are an absolute scientific juggernaut, but some aspects of them like the Hwacha and Three Kingdoms need fixing.

Three Kingdoms: The Three Kingdoms ability will be applied to the Seowon itself, and instead here is my new Three Kingdoms.

+25% Great Scientist, Writer and Engineer points. For every 3 technologies you are ahead of the leader behind you, earn +5% Culture and Production.

This adds a more cultural approach to Korea, making it a tad more versatile.

Seowon: Starts with a base yield of 2 Science. This yield increases by 1 when adjacent to River, Mountain or Geothermal Fissure(this will stack, so Seowons will yield 4 science if adjacent to a river and a mountain, for example). Adjacent Mines yield +1 Science and adjacent Farms yield +1 Food.

Hwarang will be replaced with an ability called Hwangnyongsa.

Hwangnyongsa: When you complete a Wonder, earn Science equal to 50% of the Production used to make it. +2% Science and Production in your cities for every Wonder or District in that city.

The Hwacha is replaced by the Hwarang.

Hwarang- The Hwarang can only be built in a city with a Seowon in it, and is unlocked with Horseback Riding. Has a ranged attack with 2 Range and same movement as the Horseman it replaces.

And so that is my rework for Korea! Let me know if you disagree with anything or have any feedback in the comments.
