Koreans/Strategy

The Koreans are mainly a defensive civilization. Their ability to gather stone faster than other civilizations allows them to build up their defense quickly. Their watchtowers upgrade automatically to guard towers and get bonus range in the Castle Age and another one in the Imperial Age, allowing them to attack units from further away and take them down before they get too close. Their unique technology increases the range of Mangonels, allowing them to attack towers and castles with impunity. The Koreans also have a strong navy and their unique unit, the Turtle Ship, is very powerful and can take down most enemy navies easily.

The main weakness of the Koreans are their inability to research many Monastery technologies. In contrast with their defensive bonuses they lack any offensive bonuses that can pontentially turn the tide of a battle. As such they are a disadvantage when taking the fight to an enemy.
