Why Poland SHOULD be included in one of the official sets

[Martinus]

Well if not Jadwiga (why not? - she would be great as representing religious and scientific civ), than my types are:

Kaziu (Kazimierz) the Great,
Zygmunt the Old
or Boleslaw Chrobry (the Brave).

I must confess I'm not really impressed about having Poland on the expansion pact (if there will be any). You're all discussing what leader the Polish should have, but you didn't say whether they are expansionist, religious, etc. Nor the Polish special unit!

Good luck!

. If you had bothered to read the couple of dozen previous posts, you would have found out that we have already disscussed those issues.

If next time you could just talk about a subject you have some idea about, it would be helpful. Thank you

Zealot, read carefully this thread.

BTW, had we Portugese in the game, they would't be expansionist, religious, etc. but they would obviously stick to saudades approach .

Poles do not share saudades feeling, as we went through the Golden Age what we miss is our Civ in the Expansion Pack.

Now, wait, I take that back. I am writing this post mostly to dispel a myth quite popular among posters here. And this myth is:
Poland is some puny country in Eastern Europe, which was never powerful and who's only inventions are kielbasa and pierogies

Hm, kielbasa is a common sausage. Pirogis are also Russian. This leaves you only as 'puny country in EE'

[LoD]

LaRusso: You're right about the pierogies - they generally indigenous to the entire region, but I was reffering to a popular stereotype. And you won't find any good sort of real kielbasa (kielbasasort ?) outside of Central/Eastern Europe, I assure you .

"comon" "also"

but not the same


and don't forget we have bigos

Do not slight the power of 'bigos'

[and no, this thread isn't joke!]

Poland should be in because the Copernicus obeservatory is in CIVIII. And you cant have Copernicus with out Poland.Also how can you have WWII with out Poland ??



Polish Inventions that americans know of:
Vodka
Kielbasa(sasuage)
Pierogi(100%Polish)

Geez. The popularity of this totally unhistoric rumours is staggering.

As a matter of fact, one communist guy made a SYMBOLIC film to show how the pre-war anti-communist democracy was lousy, and he put in the scene of Polish cavalry charging at tanks. For some reason that scene rose to represent the Polish WWII field tactics, which is simply untrue.

I repeat: Polish cavalry was NOT charging tanks in WWII.

sorry, i read that in a dutch history of the ww2. one of the best books (3 volumes) ever written on the topic.
poland is a great nation, but i do not feel that it is 'The Civ' like e.g. Spain or Arabs. I really do not want to hurt anyone's feelings. The fact that you survived between Germans and Russians speaks for itself
