Season 3: Chapter 277. Triple Down (1)
"Did Joseon really build a triple!?"
A triple referred to having three town halls. A double or triple often referred to the number of worker-producing buildings in Civil Empire and other RTS (real-time strategy) games.
In strategy simulation games, players commonly discussed and used this tactic. Having more workers meant resources could be gathered faster. With more resources, more workers could be produced, creating a snowball effect like a virus spreading.
"Isn't building a triple a huge risk!? Can this work!?"
"Risk? It’s just a triple! Three times the risk! But also three times the return! That's how you should think of it!"
However, the biggest issue with this strategy was the need to produce a lot of workers. Aside from landmarks, the town hall was the second most expensive building in Civil Empire after fortresses.
Building three worker-producing buildings meant a significant investment in the early and mid-game, requiring many workers to be produced instead of military units.
"There are no defensive structures other than the watchtower on the mountaintop! Even though China is weak in the early game, they’ll come for sure once they find out!"
"China is currently focused on advancing their build! They’re not even doing a double, let alone a triple! They’re moving forward smoothly! Blocking their scouts from getting in is going to be crucial!"
The core of Joseon’s strategy would depend on preventing the enemy from scouting. Two hundred soldiers patrolled the area near the mountaintop for this reason as they searched for Chinese scouts.
"Is it really possible to defend such a large area!?"
