Lion.Kanzen Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Yamatai-koku or Yamato-koku (邪馬台国) (c. 1st century – c. 3rd century) is the Sino-Japanese name of an ancient country in Wa (Japan) during the late Yayoi period (c. BC 1,000 – c. 300 CE). The Chinese text Records of the Three Kingdoms first recorded as Yamatai guo (traditional Chinese: 邪馬臺國) or Yemayi guo (traditional Chinese: 邪馬壹國) as the domain of Priest-Queen Himiko (卑弥呼) (died c. 248 CE). Generations of Japanese historians, linguists, and archeologists have debated where Yamatai-koku was located and whether it was related to the later Yamato (大和国). The Yamatai Kingdom had a system of laws, taxation and thriving trade agreements with outside kingdoms. These systems worked to maintain unity and prosperity until Queen Himiko’s death in 248. Famously, one hundred female and male attendants went with her to the grave. She never married and was without children.

Lion.Kanzen Posted January 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Demographic boost. one of the civilization bonuses is chinese/korean immigrants or settlers. Trained in the port. The demographic explosion of this period is impressive. [...]Many settlements in western Japan are said to have been moved up hill, that lacked large cultivation areas, at once in the latter half of early period to the first half of middle period in Yayoi period. Very good Farming. [...]Rice-paddy cultivation quickly spread across the Japanese Archipelago. People who created paddy fields made Yayoi earthware, in many cases lived in pit-type dwellings and built a dug-standing pillar building and a storage pit. Settlements had clear divisions between the living area and graves, and the village surrounded by a moat were excavated around the area of living. —may be a discount for fields (20%)— Defensive structure bonus. [...]In contrast to the previous period (Jomon period), it is believed that battles between settlements and regions occurred frequently during the Yayoi period. Moat settlements that have a moat around the settlement and upland settlements that were located at top of the mountain more than 100m in height are said to be evidence of battles between settlements. Weapon wounds on the recovered human bones (a human bone with trauma) also supported the evidence of war. Archer civ + Swordman. Similar to Maurya and Persian. Except for the cavalry obviously. https://www.japanese-wiki-corpus.org/history/Yayoi period.html Edited January 31, 2022 by Lion.Kanzen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
