Yeah, Choson is kinda weak in RM... but so what if you lose, they are sure fun to play. Choson has become my pet bad civ. The other day in Q, I was in a 'Worst Civs Only' game. Only Greek, Carth, Choson and Persia were allowed, w/ no repeats. I got Choson. Really fun game. In a not so restrictive setting, Choson really blows, but so what, still fun to play. In the terrible bz, I take a group of vills w/ architecture, and tower the enemy's town as much as possible. If the enemy's town is impossible to infiltrate, you can at least support the fighting line w/ the towers. I also try to tower every single resource spot that I can get to. Those towers r a serious pain to the archers, and even STs. Coupled with cheap priests, I think Cho can survive bz, and even make a decent contribution to the team effort. Then while ironing, i pump out broads, ready to become long swords. Rax units pump out something like 2x faster than say, scythes. The next upgrade I try to get is btower, then full priests. If I'm up against another flooding civ (Egy), I may consider helos. I also build a few HAs, for mostly scouting and quick raiding purposes. Another point, is that I almost always try to do at least a semblance of a tool rush w/ Cho. I mean, hey, the axemen (and the infantry upgrades) and towers, you have to eventually upgrade them anyway. And Cho towers r very nice in tool. The other day, I had my 1st real wonder win using Cho. Fun fun fun.
