Like many factions on the edge of the known world, Choson's position is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it is not surrounded by enemies. Yet on the other hand, the distance from the centre of the map as well as a dearth of resources for military conquest, as well as no potential friends make the task of stamping Choson's name on the planet much harder. To make matters worse, the Chinese kingdoms have expanded sufficiently to the point that no expansion southwards is possible early on, especially since Chu and Zhou are in alliance with one another. The only game available to Choson thus is the Iron Ore economic domination game, but in a world where the lion's share of Iron Ore is dominated by the Chinese, it is questionable how Choson can survive, much less win the campaign.

For this reason, it is well meet that Choson should engage in diplomacy whereso possible. Of the three factions in China, however, only the Bach Viet may be interested in allying with you. With this alliance in place, the conquest of China and the rest of Asia under the banner of Choson could tentatively take place although it is hard to imagine how and if Choson could actually survive a war with the likes of Shang and Zhou on land. In any case, controlling all Iron Ore resources is the best strategy to follow as far as Choson is concerned.

Diplomacy aside, your first task should be to gain control of Sahun — and its Supply Centre — as soon as possible. This will normally take two turns to reach. The near-lack of Supply Centres, especially in Northern Asia, means that this is an objective that needs to be achieved at any cost. Once you have your second army ready, then you must be prepared to either repel any Chinese attacks on southern Korea, or begin the conquest of Northern China to clear your way for world dominance right away.
