May 30, 2007 · 20 Hwacha and about 10 Swords/Axes to actually kill softened defenders. Took 27 turns to conquer him and lost 8 Hwacha and no other units. Needless to say, he had some Archers but a ton of promoted Axes/Swords that the Hwacha shredded. For comparison purposes, I decided to re-simulate the invasion but with stock Catapults instead of Hwacha.

Feb 11, 2003 · is it possible to capture and use Hwacha? i been waiting for korea to bulid it so that i can capture. i even give free saltpeter to them:p

Jul 14, 2005 · The hwacha are not obsolete, but they are best for attacking melee units. Remember that cats/hwacha are better for attacking defenders in the field but the trebs are better attacking cities. You may want to declare on Shaka but let him come into your territory (no war weariness for losses in your cultural boundaries).

Feb 16, 2018 · * Hwacha upgrades to Mortar. * Khmer Domrey replaces Trebuchet. * Macedon Hypaspist and Persian Immortal upgrade to Longswordsman. Other Changes: * Anti Cavalry units now have +20 combat bonus vs Heavy Cavalry & +15 vs Light Cavalry * Naturalist Base Sight Range set to 2. Differences from Moar Units Core Only:

If a unit like a Horse Archer is able to retreat from a battle then he gets to inflict additional damage to any siege weapons that are in the stack. With enough Horse Archers, you can completely destroy all of his Hwacha's even if they never actually win any battles.

Feb 8, 2011 · For comparison, the Korean Hwacha, which also appears in Civilization V as a unique unit for the Koreans, replacing the Trebuchet. Link to video. "We won WW2 because our German scientists were better than their German scientists."

Jun 25, 2012 · Hwacha is a souped up crossbow, not a souped up trebuchet. It excels in city defense and turtling, but it is a lot weaker attacking cities.

Aug 7, 2006 · Axeman vs Hwacha should be 5 vs 7.5 And all bonuses in combat (except strength promotion) are applied to the defender, so it would be: Axeman vs Swordsman on hill = 5 vs 4.8 Axeman vs Swordsman in forest = 5 vs 6 Axemen vs Swordsman on forest hill = 5 vs 7.5 So the Hwacha should be chosen.

Oct 21, 2005 · Alright, i've never done this before but I thought just what could be good about the Korean hwacha? I thought about it and now I believe that the best way to use it is not to eliminate enemy stacks - thats just not what it is for. That is thinking inside the box. Instead, you could make 3...
