  • king wang kon of the koreans?!! :(

    Why isn't king sae jong the leader of the koreans. and i can't really tell from the screenshot TOO well, but it doesn't even look like that guy is wearing traditional korean style clothes. maybe somewhat vaguely oriental at best.

      Yes the whole look of his face this strange grin isn't really a human. Perhaps a vampire as you said or something extraterrestrial.

        wang kon? i can kinda understand why they picked him, he did unify korea into the koryo dynasty... but in that case, why didn't they use his historical name, Taejo?

        but yeah, i agree with you, ck-- i think it should have been Sejong. why? because it was under Sejong that korea went through a sort of enlightenment, with much scientific development...

        and as for his appearance... he doesn't look korean at all, and his dress looks western...

        ah, well. we can always mod it.

          i have to play as them because their leader is named wang. it's just the way it has to be.

          but hell, Firaxis was never good at picking leaders, remember?

            true, but see, everybody knows about sejong... less know about taejo... and few know that taejo is wangkon.

              and before i forget, uberkrux... you'd love playing as the koreans if they used traditional titles...

              in korean, the word "wang" means "king".

                  Pah, they should have picked Hiddink as the leader of the Koreans!

                      not quite.

                      the problem is, in korean, there are a lot of one syllable words whose meanings change, depending on context:

                      example:

                      sung == star
                      sung == last name
                      sung == gender

                        Ah, see at least I have heard of Taejo. But I still think Sejong should be the leader. He will be in MY game anyway.

                        Heck, out of all the korean leaders, he's the only one refered to as "the great." King Sejong the great. That should tell you something, firaxis!

                          they have to be Politically correct.

                          thats why they made joan leader of france, they needed more women leaders.

                          obviously this game had a lack of evil vampire lords that needed to be filled before people started complaining.

                            You're absolutely right, but they have made a fatal error: There is no Wookie leader!!!! We demand that Chewbacca is going to be a leader !!!
