lol that era portrait is from a kdrama! love it

not compatible with latest version of game.

It can't be downloaded. This problem is only for me?

Looks great, but Hwarang is often described as horse archers, not as swordmen, in today's Korean mass media. In fact, Koreans were excellent horse archers until the Joseon dynasty and skillful archers even to this day. You can check the latter at the Olympic archery competition, at least. :D

Error right now with the english version. The "Three Kingdoms" is spanish saying "Tres Reinos" on the loading screen.

update plz!!!!!!!!!!!

it synergises better

that way it will match the appeal requirements of a seowon better

i would like to propose to make woods get the science bonus too

Yes, let someone else do it. :)

Hi. I currently do not have the time to update for GS I'm afraid. But if you are aware of any way this can be done quickly please feel free to let me know.

@Antagonise do you need help fixing this for GS?

Hello @Sailor Cat and @Antagonise. I'm planning to make a Sejong re-make civilization and may I get your permission to include Hwarang into my mod?

@Sailor Cat - Being that Antagonise has indicated a RL encroachment upon her ability to make time for modding, is it possible that you will be adding the GS update on this very excellent mod to your "to do" list

That's alright, thanks for the reply regardless :)

Hi, I'm afraid I don't have the time for modding these days so I won't be releasing a Scotland rework.

Hey Antagonise, would you consider creating a similar mod for Scotland? As I'm sure you're aware both Korea and Scotland are egregiously overpowered in terms of science in the base game, this mod does a good job of adressing that for Korea but there is no similar mod for Scotland

Actually, the first observatory in China was biult 4500 years ago, used to obersve movement of Jupiter and Antares(aka Scorpion's heart).

The culture bonus seems very OP with +20% out the box. That's equal to 7 governor promotions in vanilla. +10% would be more balanced.

Also, I’ll keep the hill restriction. Removing it would make the ability a bit more redundant since you’d be able to find a breathtaking tile in most cities.

@TheMule I did look into making the Seowon unaffected by Mines in terms of appeal before release, but it didn’t seem possible. But the change to Seondeok’s ability in the patch makes this a good time for a quick update. However I’m leaning towards simply removing the science bonus from mines (which I couldn’t particularly find rationale for in my research) and moving it to a small science bonus in the UA relating to trade routes in some way, which would suits the ‘Three Kingdoms’ period very well.

I like appeal mechanic; that was a great idea. However, campbellorr makes a valid point.

So, can you remove the effect mines have on adjacent tile appeal but only if the Seowon district is there? If so, that would be awesome. Then you could remove the requirement of the Seowon to be on hills. Allow it to be built on any terrain. That would give you more interactivity and allow the Seowon to be easier to place. At the same time, that would allow you to keep the appeal mechanic in place.

@Xavier L. Wulf - are you running any other mods? This doesn’t change anything about the Hwacha except text.

The Hwacha is broken, moving across hills and attacking in the same turn.

Also tying the Seowon to appeal actually reduces its interactivity, because few city sites will have tiles that are both breathtaking and a hill, or even necessarily charming and a hill. It makes the Seowon very difficult to place.

Hello Antagonise, first off, excellent work and design - it's much more appropriate for the period of history it means to represent. However, there is an anti-synergy in your design that becomes somewhat problematic when playing. The Seowon is designed to have mines placed around it for science yield, however this lowers the appeal of the district tile, cancelling out the science gain. Any chance you could reconsider the mechanic?

The science boost of this civ is OP.

I see

@Carmel Waffles no, I wanted to make it more interactive, allowing you to place theatre squares and such adjacent to boost tile appeal

With this mod; do Sewons still gain a negative adjacency bonus from districts?

I have a suggestion about Hwarang. Usually in Silla dynasty, Hwarang rided horses and being mostly an one-man calvary most of the time. They are trained to shoot bows too. So, is it possible to make the Hwarang to be upgradable to a Hwarang(Horsed) as a calvary knight unit?

Thank you very much!

Excellent job. Thanks for making this mod.

@Bitnal please try to load again and share your Database.log in the civfanatics thread. It’s likely a mod conflict but I may be able to work around it

Can't start a new game when I install this one, any help? I choose Seondeok and then make a new game, and the black loading screen pops up and then goes back to the main menu.

Nice, I think you made a much more flavorful Korea. Seondeoka's vanilla ability is not only really boring but didn't make much sense from a historical perspective. A class of warrior poets increase the culture and science of a city with a governor? I dont see the connection at all.
