[tokimitsu]

Maybe I don't have photo bucket.

By the way, stefan is a Kid, uh? -_-

I understood understood.... hahaha

[Bull]

Looking good, guys.

Who needs Empire Total War when we have mods like BC and AUH?

Very much looking forward to playing it.

[tokimitsu]

I need ETW too.

[STELLover]

Okay, it is chosen- I will provide additional research based on the Unit Roster and the Tech Tree as well as provide historical background

Tokimitsu can back me up by providing visual images and we can send them all over to Stefaneke or Yelu Dashi for Modelling

Glad to have Tokimitsu on our team
-by the way are you Korean? How do you know so much?

[tokimitsu]

Oh Mr.STELLover. Glad to see you again.

Yes! I'm a Korean. Are you Korean? I'll back you up with materials ^^

Am I a member of team?

Well... What do I supposed to do?

I don't know how

[Yelü Dashi]

no problem tokimitsu. wait for a private message from me .

[S-te-Fan]

Well, I'm not pictuer spammer. Just I'd like to provide some thing useful about Millitary stuff for you, guy.

The pics are permitted.

I thought an Image is more effective than lots of words.....

You will make units as your team including Mr. stellover planned, uh-huh?

That's what I wish.

I just intended to make opinions or provide facts about stuffs,

Because the infornation about Korea is distorted-known and misunderstood in foreign country, I think

With my poor English, I've tried to do my best.

It is embarrassing.. Don't think badly of me.

It's just that there weren't any pictures . I couldn't find them . Now I found them, you were directing us to a different post. Thanks!

Right-

The only thing that the Dev needs is visual aid for the Units and 2D art rather than a 2000 page essay- I have some downloaded Korean historical dramas

They have some fraps and costumes that represent the Korean units and structures- I could provid them for you

[S-te-Fan]

This guy is like a time machine xD.

[Baeksu]

If you still need help with Koryo, I'd be happy to do so - I'm a graduate student in East Asian Studies at Columbia University, specializing in Korea.

RELIGION
Goryeo is mainly Buddist, but 5% Confucianism (I can't find the exact type of Buddhis during this time period- sorry


FAMOUS SETTLEMENTS(ADVANCED)

Capital: Gae Gyeong (Present Day Seoul)

Famous/Advanced Castles:
1-Cheon-Li Castle - Near the Tae Dong River (Actually a huge group of 9 concentric castles)
2-Seo-Gyeong- Present Day Pyeong Yang

Confucianism isn't really a religion - I don't know what you're planning to do with Confucianism in the overall game, but as far as Koryo's concerned it'd make more sense to have a large Buddhist majority (since it was the state religion at the time) and a Shamanist/Animist minority.

Also, how many provinces are you planning on making Koryo proper? Ideally, it ought to be eight ( Chungcheong [Gongju], Gangwon [Wonju], Gyonggi [Gaegyeong], Gyeongsang [Daegu], Hamgyeong [Hamhung], Hwanghae [Haeju], Jeolla [Jeonju], Pyongan [Seogyeong]), but for game balance purposes that would probably be excessive. I can try to find something on the administrative divisions of Koryo to see if they differed substantially from Choseon.

Hyung, what drama are these pictures from?

[Donzibod]

[STELLover]

Umm.. I really appriciate your help guys- but 2 guys are actually enough for one faction

We already have the LastPrivate and Me, and I think thats enough, along with Tokimitsu

I really think we can handle it- when we need extra help we will ask for help...

By the way, thanks Baekdu

If you look at the first two previews and the map and region previews- it says it all

you are absolutely right- Confucianism is not something that can be regarded as a proper religion, rather than a list of rules and teachings that its followers follow. However it was a big thing back in Korea and China- while Buddhism was large in the Goryeo dynasty, so was Confucianist teachings implemented in many Goryeo scripts and documents

I think there is no harm regarding Confucianism as a religion though..

[STELLover]

I think its from the new korean drama 천주태후, I recognize some similiar actors, but I don't actually watch it so I am not sure.

Oh wait, isn't it Wang-Gon? 2006?
