After more than two decades, I think I’m maybe just a little burned out and waiting for the series to do something dramatically different. It’s probably the least I’ve played any Civilization, even though I think that, on a mechanical level, it’s the strongest the series has ever been. Seondeok’s ability is called Hwarang, and it grants bonuses to science and culture in every city that has a governor.ĭespite the big changes that Civ 6 brought with it, I found I stopped playing pretty quickly. Essentially, it takes advantage of the Seowan by allowing you to build mines and farms adjacent to it for a bonus to science and food - life’s two most important things. For the civ, there’s the Three Kingdom ability. The hwacha is also a devastating weapon, capable of firing 100 arrow rockets, or 200 bullets with a modification.īoth Korea and Seondeok get unique abilities, too. It’s a colourful, almost cute cart, but appearances can be deceiving. When science needs to make room for war, Korea’s borders can be defended with the civ’s unique unit: the hwacha.
Korea gets a special district, for instance, replacing the campus with the Seowan, an academy that explores politics, culture and philosophy.
This is reflected in her immortal Civilization 6 counterpart. We could probably do with some of that in 2017. Seondeok was a shrewd diplomat, and as well as supporting the arts and sciences she promoted education and social welfare. Take a look at the ‘first look’ video below. She did have to contend with dumb blokes who were scared of women rulers, however. Korea’s led by Queen Seondeok, who by all accounts was a pretty great ruler, heralding a renaissance in the historical kingdom of Silla.
Today, Firaxis has been shining a spotlight on Korea, one of the new civs coming to Civilization 6 with the launch of the Rise and Fall expansion, due out in February.
