Yi Sun-sin

Life and beginnings

Yi Sun-sin was born on 28 April 1545 and died on 16 December 1598. He was a Korean admiral and general, known for victories against the Japanese navy in the Imjin War, in the Joseon period. His courtesy name was Yeohae. He was honored after death as Lord of Loyal Valor. The guide calls him a man of duty and resolve, with a volatile career and betrayal, who answered his king even from prison. The biography’s lead does not narrate the prison. This essay does not invent the charge. The duty is on both pages. The cell is the guide’s sentence.^{[1] [3]}

The exact number of his naval engagements is debated. It is generally accepted that he fought in at least 23, and won them. In many he was outnumbered and poorly supplied. The most dramatic success in the lead is Myeongnyang, where he led 13 Korean ships against a Japanese fleet of at least 133. The game’s agenda is named 13 Ships. The historical 13 are that battle’s fleet. They are not a minimum of naval units on a diplomacy screen.^{[1] [3]}

Defining achievements

He died of a gunshot wound at the Battle of Noryang, the last major battle of the Imjin War, on 16 December 1598. The Joseon page says the kingdom was severely weakened by failed Japanese invasions in 1592 and 1598. Hideyoshi, the published essay’s other commander, died on 18 September 1598, before Noryang. The guide says Yi forged a fleet from the splintered remains of the Korean navy and won against overwhelming odds. The 13 and the 133 are the lead’s picture of those odds. This essay does not turn every one of the 23 battles into a chapter.^{[1] [2] [3]}

The published Joseon essay is the dynasty, founded in 1392, not this one admiral. The published Hideyoshi essay is the Japanese unifier whose guide looks toward the peninsula. Yi is not Hideyoshi, and Hideyoshi is not the Joseon court. The turtle ship on the Joseon civilization page is a unit. It is not, by itself, the proof of Myeongnyang.^{[1] [2]}

Legacy and interpretation

The biography calls him one of history’s greatest naval commanders, for strategy, intelligence, innovations, and character. The guide calls him a hero to his men and to his people. Both are judgments after the war. The posthumous title is a later honor, not a rank he held at Noryang. The courtesy name is another name, not a second persona. The guides list one leader entry.^{[1] [3] [4]}

The Chinese footnote, as retrieved, says the content is included in the Brush and Blade bundle and then says that buying a differently named bundle means you already own it. The English footnote names only Brush and Blade and says the base game is required. The two Chinese leader footnotes in this set swap which name sits in which clause. This essay does not treat the swap as two products.^{[3] [4]}

A closer look

The ability is named Samdo Sugun Tongjesa, the historical office of commander of the three provincial navies. In the game it lets the player train fleet commanders after a discipline civic in the antiquity age, grants a free fleet commander once a harbor and that civic are both held, pays science when a naval unit defeats an enemy, gives commanders experience when science buildings are built, and pays gold each age for commander experience earned in combat. Yi’s wars are the 1590s, not the antiquity age. A free commander after a civic is a rule. It is not the prison the guide mentions, and science from a sinking is not the 23 battles. The agenda, 13 Ships, raises the relationship with civilizations that have enough naval units and fortifications, and lowers it with those that do not. Thirteen ships at Myeongnyang were one fleet in one battle. A minimum on a relationship screen is not that count. Yields stay on the guide.^{[1] [3]}

The Chinese page names the ability and the agenda in its own words. There is one leader entry.^{[3] [4]}

In Civilization VII

The English guide places him in the Brush and Blade Collection. Attributes are militaristic and scientific. The simplified Chinese page titles him with its own characters and uses the collection name in the main text. The catalog chip follows the English collection name. There is no second persona.^{[3] [4]}

The first step back from the ability is to keep 28 April 1545, the invasions of 1592 and 1598, Myeongnyang’s 13 ships, Hideyoshi’s death on 18 September 1598, and Yi’s death at Noryang on 16 December 1598 apart from an antiquity civic. The published Hideyoshi essay is the other commander. The published Joseon essay is the kingdom.^{[1] [2] [3]}
