Goryeo

Origins and formation

Goryeo was a Korean state founded in 918, during the Later Three Kingdoms, and it ruled the peninsula until Joseon in 1392. Korean historians have called its unification a true national unification, because it joined the Later Three Kingdoms and also took in much of the ruling class of Balhae, whose origins were in earlier Goguryeo. The separate identities of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla were, on that account, merged into one that later writers treat as a basis of modern Korean identity. The name Korea comes from Goryeo, a name Goguryeo had already used in the early fifth century. The guide says Goryeo arose after the division of the Three Kingdoms era and became a center of scholarship and art and a power in East Asia. The dated foundation on both the history page and the Chinese guide is 918. The “Three Kingdoms” in the guide’s sketch and the Later Three Kingdoms in the history lead are not the same division. Silla’s own page dates Silla’s submission to Goryeo to 935, seventeen years after 918. The founding and the handover are not one year.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

Wang Geon was chosen king after rising under Kung Ye of Taebong. The guide does not name him in the sentences used here. This essay does not turn the guide’s “arose” into a coronation narrative the guide did not write.^{[1] [3]}

Defining periods

The guide says Goryeo became a center of Buddhist scholarship, a pioneer of movable type, and a maker of celadon known for its beauty. It also says the state first kept the peace by force and later by standing as a vassal of the Yuan dynasty, and that when that empire fell a new regime, Joseon, was established. The history lead used here confirms 918 and 1392 and the unification. It does not, in that lead, narrate the Yuan relationship. The vassal sentence stays the guide’s. The published Joseon essay is the dynasty of 1392, not this one. The published Silla essay is the kingdom that submitted in 935, not the founder of 918.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

Wang Geon’s election is the history page’s opening of the reign, and 918 is the year both that page and the Chinese guide print. The years until 935 are the difference between a new court and Silla’s submission. A reader who treats the guide’s “after the Three Kingdoms” as the fall of Goguryeo in 668 has skipped the Later Three Kingdoms the history lead actually names. Balhae’s ruling class is part of that lead’s unification claim. This essay does not list Balhae kings. Celadon and movable type stay the guide’s achievements because the lead used here does not locate a kiln or a print shop. The Yuan sentence is likewise the guide’s. When the next dynasty’s page says Taejo overthrew Goryeo in 1392, that is the same hinge from the other side. The cavalry unit and the siege weapon do not choose a side in that overthrow.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

Buseoksa is the wonder. It raises happiness, and settlements within a set distance gain influence, and at a higher happiness gold as well, on unique improvements. It must sit on tropical or grassland terrain beside a minimum of mountain tiles. These pages do not date the temple. A mountain rule is not 918.^{[3] [4]}

Legacy and interpretation

The legacy on the history page is a unification, a name that became Korea, and a succession to Joseon in 1392. The guide’s legacy is scholarship, print, celadon, a Yuan strategy, and the next dynasty. Celadon and movable type are the guide’s claims. This essay does not add a kiln site or a print shop the leads do not name. The apex is Exploration. The states themselves run from the tenth century to the fourteenth. The catalog follows the guide’s apex. It does not claim that 918 and 1392 are one historical age.^{[1] [3] [4]}

A closer look

The English ability is Byeongjo. It pays culture for endeavors the player starts or supports, culture on unique improvements in towns, and influence on unique improvements in cities. Later ages raise those figures, and the modern age adds tourism. The Chinese page names the ability in its own words and follows the same outline. An endeavor bonus is a rule. It is not the Yuan relationship, and it is not celadon. The traditions include Bongwan, Hoguk Jonggyo, Sagae Chibubeop, and Sambyeolcho. The improvements include a gama on vegetated ground. The military units are a hwacha, a siege weapon with splash damage, and a tobang cavalry that is stronger when it occupies a district and that adds influence for each city center where one is stationed. A splash weapon is not movable type. A stationed horse is not the vassal policy. Yields stay on the guide.^{[3] [4]}

The Chinese and English tradition names were read as separate lists. This essay does not weld a mismatched gloss into a second tree where the pages already use their own words for the same slots. Where a Chinese label was retrieved, it stays on the Chinese page.^{[3] [4]}

In Civilization VII

The English guide names Byeongjo, the traditions and units above, and Buseoksa. The simplified Chinese guide titles the civilization with its Chinese name and places the apex in the exploration age. The page states the Brush and Blade Collection. The footnote says that owning the collection means the content is already owned. The base game is required on the English notes for this set. That requirement is not a base-game tag. The catalog chip is the collection.^{[3] [4]}

The first step back from the improvement bonus is to keep 918, Silla’s submission in 935, and Joseon in 1392 in that order. The published Silla essay is the earlier kingdom. The published Joseon essay is the next dynasty. The Yuan sentence remains the guide’s, not a chronicle this lead finished.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
