[Steph]

Do you still need picture? Where can I send them to?

 

[Orthanc]

This is nice, very fluid attack, death is pretty good too.

 

[woodelf]

Yeah, that attack is perfect.

 

[Roman Legion]

I have a better name for your unit, how about "Silla Warrior"

 

[Mithadan]

Wow, that is cool. I can't wait to use it in game. Thanks!

 

[Dark Sheer]

Very nice indeed!!

Knight is definitely not the correct name since there is no knight in any part of asian.

Just a little question, his sword look more like a Katana? Historically Korean sword is very much like the Chinese sword.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

Actually the katana and Korean swordsa are very similar the katana is probably from Korea. Koreans did use straight double edged swords as well but I gave him a katana.

Knight :
1. Abbr. Knt. or Kt. A medieval tenant giving military service as a mounted man-at-arms to a feudal landholder.
2. Abbr. Knt. or Kt. A medieval gentleman-soldier, usually high-born, raised by a sovereign to privileged military status after training as a page and squire.
3. Abbr. K. A man holding a nonhereditary title conferred by a sovereign in recognition of personal merit or service to the country.

Abbr. Knt. or Kt. A man belonging to an order or brotherhood.

I think must fedual countries had knights, Japan samurai, Shilla hwarang. When my Korean friend comes online I'll ask her for a better name.

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

Nice work! Now I can finally get rid of the generic swordsman unit for "Seven Kingdoms" and "The Art of War" mods.

 

[conquer_dude]

Another awesome unti, Shiro.

 

[Stormrage]

Shiro! You are totally awesome and you kick @$$ with these units! Wow...

 

[Goldflash]

Mmmmm.... I can smell the Kim Chee that he had for lunch.

 

[Vuldacon]

Good job on this unit...Great Replacement

 

[Snorken]

Looks very good.

 

[SPQR87]

Nice Job on your Korean Knight unit.

I talked to my Korean friend, she said gisa was the best for this unit. Gisa means knights, like nobel people can only become gisa.
So possbile names:
Joseoneui Gisa (Knight of Joseon)
Joseon Gisa (Joseon Knight)
Gisa (Knight)

 

[Rambuchan]

I don't care what you call it but I like it!

If you're not careful you may make it possible for people to include Korea into mods and scenarios, with the appropriate units! Be real careful dude...

So possbile names:
Joseoneui Gisa (Knight of Joseon)
Joseon Gisa (Joseon Knight)
Gisa (Knight)

I'm using it as a Goryeo Gisa since the Goryeo Dynasty spans 932-1392, around the time it was the "Middle Ages" in Europe.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

Yes, my mistake it should be Goryeo. It is based off the armour in Musa, a Korean film. The movie is about events in 1368, I thought that was Joseon, but Joseon is from 1392, so the name should be Goryeo Gisa.
