Honestly Koreans should have never been added IMO. They weren't even planned initially to be added in The Conquerors, it was a money grab for sales in Southeast Asia (I think?). They have always been broken as ****, either being the worst civ in the game (in AoC) but with stupidly overpowered Siege Onagers in late game, or massively overpowered in feudal and castle with their annoying as **** tower spam (in WK).
On a somewhat related note, Indians should never have been added either, making a civilization with no Knights but instead OP Camels was a terrible idea, the Elephant Archer also added basically nothing to the game because it's almost never used and is mostly a worse version of the War Wagon, and The Forgotten already had 4 civilizations so Indians were completely unnecessary.
I also think Burmese, Malay, and Vietnamese don't add anything interesting or balanced to the game either. All of the unique units are just ripoffs of other UUs (Arambai ripoff Conquistadors, Karambit Warriors ripoff Shotel Warriors, Rattan Archers rip off Plumed Archers), and most of the bonuses are not inventive or fun either; Burmese extra infantry attack is basically Japanese bonus for early game, then Aztecs bonus for late game, doesn't add anything. Vietnamese extra archer HP isn't inventive at all and just works like a worse Ethiopian bonus.
To play: stupid goths most boring civ in the game and vietnamese (previously turks as well but their new UT for their CA is just cool) and ofc the slow teutons.
To play against: Spanish, Burmese Berbers and all Mezo civs when they start spamming EW
