Korea is definitely near the top of my new favorite civ list. They are so effing good at every victory type right now. The siege units are beasts and resource free and viable right up til industrial. The UA is simply unbelievably powerful.

I've only played it in vanilla, but kicked butt while just testing. This is why I didn't want to jump the gun with regard to changes.

I said England, Polynesia, Spain, Inca, and Egypt.
I almost always play Tall games, usually going for either Culture, Science, or Gold (and therefore "diplomacy") victories.
England: I don't like England, but I like coastal starts, and she guarantees me a coastal start
Polynesia: I get a coastal start, and if I'm anywhere near a peninsula, I get huge culture boosts which is fun because choosing policies is fun.
Spain: I usually get a coastal start, but it is so much fun to get a natural wonder in your vicinity for an awesome 2nd city.
Inca: They are fun if I get mountains nearby, simply because I like mountain ranges in my games.
Egypt: I like building wonders, it is fun to race people and choose which bonuses you get from them. Also, I love desert starts. Usually, it means nobody is near me (because of the bad desert) but I get a nice lush flood plain for my first 2 cities!
I would've chosen Korea instead of England if it were here, but it wasn't
EDIT: I didn't say why I would've chosen Korea! Going specialists is really cool, but I like it for the Great People. I don't like the Ottomans for that as much because I don't want the yields that much, and I also don't conquer people. And the Hwacha is just OP!
Also, though I love building tall empires, I don't like Gandhi. First, the building currently has no tooltip (IIRC) which confuses me beyond belief, the unit is still meh, and I hate the odd numbers for happiness we have going on now. 0.8 per person? -20% on Gandhi? -5% with the liberty finisher...
I can never predict my happiness anymore!

Aren't all of those numbers straight out of vanilla? I always just let the game tell me where my happiness/unhappiness is going/coming from, and if I'm on a conquest spree I just take a good guess. If I'm close enough that I'm worried about going worse than -10 on a capture that's usually a signal I need to rush build something, trade resources, raze, or stop the war.
