Why Corean is included? I wish to use Muetai, Thailand fighter. Korean is just same as China. I really wish to play Thailand.

That's like saying Canada and the USA are the same...
:rolleyes:

I think the koreans could be interesting,
and they did have a role in history.

Indeed. Anyway, you can always customize your own civ, so....

Japan got most of its initial cultural imports via Korea too (fr China). A lot of the most ancient aristocratic families in Japan (Yamato actually) was Korean too or fr Korea.

BTW, what's the Korean UU?
 
Because the market of games in Korea is much bigger than the chinese or thai (speaking of todays market, not potential, and they want to sell CIV III today, for the potential market of China, they reserve CIV IV) :)
 
The relationship Between China,Corea and Japan is like the one between Germany,the Netherlands and England.
Do not confuse what's called a world(the western world for example) and civs.
 
The inclusion of Korea seems to be historically unjustifiable. But we've got to allow them some scope for profit-making marketing.

What is it exactly, other than statehood, which makes English-speaking Canadians so different from their ethnically identical brothers over the border? From an anthropological point of view, why are people in Seattle, New York and Dallas of the same "nation" but people from Vancouver and Seattle are not?
I am just curious...the answer is not obvious to me. :)

you might be living in a box......

I am able to ensure you that there are MORE chinese
gamer (english) than korea today and anyday! :eek:
we just don't live in china! :D
I, for example is chinese in asean...

we are much much more "skilled" for
english gaming than japanese or korean.
as our day to day exposure to foreign language.

:king:

korea, i ensure you are totally different from chinese.
they have their own language AND culture
comparing chinese and korea are like
comparing german and english.
the building and culture look similiar,
but doesn't the english and german?
there are differences that I can ensure you!

There're millions of S Korean gamers out there, more than in ASEAN. I think the last time, Blizzard was able to sell a million copies of Starcraft in S Korea, a significant record unmatched outside the USA. Or something like that. ;)

Yeah. And they're way more different than Englishmen and Germans. More like Englishmen and Russians.

Why don't you try telling any Korean that they're Chinese if you're so certain? :) :p
 
hi, im corean

why corea?

i think corea has very differently culture compare china, japan.

language . clothes(ancients), architecture, ...

even canada and american

i hope more culture must be incllude new . (like civ4,5.6..and may

be include)

and. diablo2 sold 2,000,000 copies in 2 months

most developers cant ignore corea market .

i like civ3, and i want more coreans should be play civ series..

civ3 is a best game , i have never seen like this.:)

i think this is a great chance 4 get civ3 fans in corea

dont ignore number of corea gamers

i know most game developers feel pain recently

i hope this will help civ3 teams 4 better and more civ series.

thanks read this and forgive my poor english :)

The People in Seattle, New York and Dallas are all part of the same nation because they are.
The Canadian colonists did not join the 13 American colonies in the War of Independence and American invasions of Canada during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 failed thus Canada never became part of the US. Treaties between the US and England said that we would never move north of the current borders thus when Seattle and Vancouver were founded and began prospering, one was in the US and the other in Canada thus different nations.


Culturaly, Ideology, and to some extent Economically, Canada and the US are one. After all the US-Canadian border is the longest undefended international border in the world. But Politically, they are different.

As and American I would not mind or have any problems should the Canadian provices apply for Statehood but Canadians are adamant about not being American because they value their uniqueness. I am getting a little off topic here though. To make my already too long story short. America and Canada are 2 different.

(ps. I do not mean to imply that Canada should be part of the US. When I travel overseas, I tell people I am Canadian instead of American and get a little better service. Don't want to lose that little perk:D )

Back on topic. Korean should be a civilization, I am not fully versed on Korean History or their impact on the Pacific Nations but do know that they have had a strong influence equal to Japan and China at times and maybe more, depending on who you talk to.

That argument is circular. It like saying "red is blue because it is (i.e. because red is blue)".
Statehood doesn't mean the same as nationhood. If the provinces of Canada became US states, there would be nothing particularly unusual about it. Just like Canada, the original 13 states were ruled by the English. The US came to include 50 states, there is no logical reason why the the various provinces that make up Canada, except Quebec, should not be states of the US. They speak the same language, they have the same colonial history and they are both in North America.
 
Korea is the most connected country in the world, so it only makes sense to market a multiplayer internet game to the Korean population.

I honestly don't know enough about Korean history to know if their civilization warents inclusion in the game, so I can't comment on whether they "deserve" inclusion over other potential civs. Playing some other multiplayer games (diablo, starcraft, etc.) I do know that there are an awful lot of Koreans buying these games, and I'm sure that played a role in Firaxis' decision.
 
What about the parts of the US that weren't English? Louisiana has a very rich history of French and Spanish rule. We're just as american as any former British colony.

You are marginalizing the unique histories, cultures and identities of two countries. To me it seems condescending and uninformed.
