STR’s Civs: Great Chu (10 Years of Civ VI | It’s an Ancient Year of the Horse)
Play as the reformed Wang of Chu, Zhuang; in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.
The Chu were one of the mightiest feudal states during the age of Zhou sovereignty over the Middle Kingdom. It is from this bold frontier province that the Ba, Yue, and Baiyue were first introduced to the budding Sinosphere, and these peoples would add to the distinctness of Chu era religion. Other innovations would include works in calligraphy and writing, and, of course, the popular repeating crossbow or ‘Chu-ko-nu’ originated in this realm. Gradually the Chu became a kingdom in their own right until the total disolution of Zhou as power coupled with the Warring States period bringing new meaning to the Mandate of Heaven forever.
