Tell that to K-pop fans.Hallyu notwithstanding, there's just so much that's awesome in Korean history that's completely obscure in the West. Traditional history tends to focus more on China (and even then it's the big, big, big picture), and Japan has managed to dominate pop culture. Korea kind of gets forgotten.
I'm assuming they decided to go with her because they didn't want to only include one Trung sister.Yeah, it's super weird that they chose Trieu over Trung Trac, especially since the ability could work pretty much the same. Given how anachronistic Trieu's portrayal is, might as well just use the same model, too. I'm guessing they chose Trieu for the quote (that happens to be on her Wikipedia page ), but that seems a poor reason to choose a leader.
If we get a Francophone colony in Civ 7 I'd like for it to be Haiti.Canada in the base game would be absurd to me, but honestly I'd take Canada over Australia--or any other Anglophone ex-colony due to the Francophone influence. That doesn't mean I'm giddy about the possibility of Canada returning, but a Champlain-led Canada that looked a lot more like Civ6's Cree would be a decent civ IMO. (It still amazes me that with 50 civs in the game, we only got a single Native North American civ, already a downgrade from Civ5, and that single Native American civ is located in Canada and could easily have been taken as a stand in for Canada.)
I think the Iroquois could return and make a good stand in both geographically and thematically. Obviously they would take a more aggressive approach toward diplomacy and trading though.
