Unfortunately I can't make castle where you can only attack from one side.
I can't implement this because Shogun 2 doesn't not allow me to. If I make a huge garrison spawn when a city is attacked then this garrison will spawn for every faction, so if the Japanese capture a city and a Korean army attacks it a huge number of Korean monks and guerillas will defend the Japanese.On top of that the local population would often go to the castle and help defend it, something not seen in MANY places. (but not unknown).
- On top of that constant guerrilla warfare, and mallita/monk armies appearing and fighting also.
They didn't beat the Mongols, which is why the Mongols conquered them. Also these bows didn't protect the Koreans from the Mongol siege technology.I know you know this as I read what you wrote, but bows/out ranging and being determined not to give in is how they beat the mongolians... and most others that came along.
You mean because the Khitan refugees destroyed the Korean army before the Mongols even arrived, the Mongols destroyed much of northern Korea, or the wako attacked the south of Korea.They fell and submitted to become a tributary state but only because their country was on fire.
What are you talking about? During most of this time the Korean monarch had no real power and Korea was ruled by the Choe military dictatorship.You could also blame weak leadership both monarchy and advisers.
What are you talking about? The Mongols did fight the Korean army, defeated them, and Korea had to provide tributes to the Mongols in exchange for the Mongols not burning the country to the ground.Other than that it wasn't practical to control/fight/cost effective.
Which resulted in the Korean government being exiled to an island, while the Mongols effectively ruled the rest of Korea.They even moved the capital at one point knowing the horsemen couldn't do anything lol.
China effectively became part of the Mongol empire. The same happened to Korea due to the Mongol princes and princesses marrying the Korean royalty. This is why the last of the Mongol rulers of Korea sent an army to fight the Ming dynasty and restore the Yuan to power.(not it only became a tribute state, most other nations china to iraq and egypt were forced to bow down weirdly... they couldn't submit korea the same.)
Iran was ruled by Mongols as the Il Khanate.
Iraq (Baghdad) was destroyed by the Mongols.
Egypt was never conquered by the Mongols. The Mamluk Sultanate famously destroyed the Mongols at the Battle of Ain Jalut.
The Mongols succeeded because they ignored the forts and burned the rest of the country down. Something that can't easily be represented in this mod.Think about it if they outranged Koreans with those bows they would have just equip everyone with a bow and sit 25m out or range while showering them... (ironically this is exactly what happens in the game) But they didn't, 1m chinese army failed, Jurchen failed.. and they only gave in once their country was burned.
Also the Mongols conquered many Korean fortresses by standing out of range of the arrows and using siege equipment.
Which is why the Korean navy is stronger than the Japanese navy.Moving strait onto the actual VS japan yeah, weak leadership /no standing army/few idiot choices. ( I feel like you actually said some of this)
national hero Admiral Yi with 13 ships utterly raped the japanese fleet that was 10x as big.
It was mainly due to politics. One political party would hinder the generals of another party to prevent their rival gaining favour with the king.Sure it's known I know, but it makes you wonder they throw general Admiral Yi Sun-sin out of office despite his wins O_O Clearly there was a problem with leadership/government apposed to the ACTUAL armed forces. Giving office to morons and taking people out that actually know what they're doing.
How will reducing the range by 25 change anything? You'll still be outnumbered 9 to 1.I don't know, I can understand you want to make them all different and you want to show numbers (despite unit cap by number by making them cheaper etc). So having them all alike isn't 'okay' BUT, for one unit for 200 range korean soldiers you may as well just hire 9 units of juchan Flood your enemies with cheaper more effective units. when two stacks attack your castle and you have a fairly mid-range 60% archer heavy army to defend it. and those two stacks are 75%+ archers who all outrange you... you get raped. Yet in history this never happened despite many more than the 2 stacks represent.
Also when did the Jurchens attack with an army equivalent of 2 stacks?
Finally historically soldiers had many ways to avoid arrows, such as building a roof over the soldiers. Something I can't add to this game.
In a mod about a war where the Koreans were unable to defend their own national castles with their national units.The inability to defend with your own national castles with your national units when they are famed for their castles and archers is hilariously out of place.
Which battle are you referring to? You seem to have made a lot of claims that are historically wrong.The northern invasions by the nomadic peoples in history/mongolians later turned out to be vietnam on crack a horrific disaster for everyone because they nearly coined guerrilla and peasant warfare.
I already explained that the Koreans have poor stats because the army was in poor condition at this time. This is nothing to do with balance.Maybe I'm beating a dead horse, but it seems so off... No a nation with heavy armour and one of the best bows in history would have better stats.. even if they did cost more... to limit range is crazy. under the guise of balance. While totally crippling them and making them worthless/stupid to buy.
Why are you telling someone who has done a huge amount of research regarding the military of Korea at this time to look at an invasion that happened 3 centuries before the Imjin war and a Chinese rebellion that occurred 2 centuries before the Imjin war? Wouldn't it make more sense to look at wars closer to this time period?Wiki (although not great) is fairly correct. Look up Mongolian invasions of korea and the red-turban invasion, if you care to know more about how they fight and what they resisted.
I'm not going to change my mod because of your constant whining about how terrible it is that that during this time period the Korean army was poor quality. If you want me to make changes provide some sources from this time period to back up your claims about the abilities of various armies. Information about armies from centuries ago is not useful.
