AOE4 was featured at the Korean History Museum

The National Jinju Museum is a korean history museum specializing in the Imjin War. They upload various videos about the weapons, armor, and cannons used during that era, and this time, Age of Empires 4 was mentioned. It appears right at the beginning of the video. They also mention that the power of the Nest of Bees in the game was so strong that its performance deteriorated with every patch. It seems there is a museum staff member who plays Age of Empires 4.

In summary, the video explains that the Chinese โ€˜Nest of Bees(์ผ์™€๋ด‰ Ilwabong, ์ผ์™€๋ด‰์ „ Ilwabongjeon in Korean)โ€™ became the term for a swivel cannon in Joseon Korea. Essentially, they were different weapons with the same name. According to records, the Chinese Nest of Bees was named after its honeycomb-like hexagonal structure, whereas in Joseon, the swivel cannon was called Ilwabong because โ€œthe way it fired fire resembled a bee swarm stinging (meaning the fire was fierce and powerful).โ€ It is said to have fired like a shotgun by loading about a hundred small shots, or fired a single large projectile. It was primarily used to defend mountain fortresses and was also utilized as the main gun of a primitive tank called a โ€œ์ฒดํ†ต Chetong.โ€
