Can we discuss Poland for the love of jesus?

[Matty_P]

i'm really psyched about this.

i like to think i'm more knowledgable about history than the average jiggly mcfatass, and it seems to me that having poland (and other seemingly obscure factions) included in this game is a suburb way to let people know that europe isn't just france, germany, england, and italy.

the cutlure of europe is rich and extensively varied.

...but to the point, i intend this thread to highlight anything anyone finds dealing with the polish faction. if anyone knows anything please, post it here. I'm DYING TO KNOW ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THE COUNTRY OF MY BIRTH!!! (in this game).

Just read this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poland#History

Should answer all your questions.

[Matty_P]

are you insane?

i already know that. i'm not ignorant about the actual history, i want to know about them in M2TW.

[the_mango55]

nobody knows anything about poland yet.

wait for the faction preview on IGN.

[Ahiga]

In before someone uses the popularized-overnight 'you forgot poland' line.

No offense, but it seems to me that ther are far better ways of learning about your birth country other than just playing a video game.

Reading a book perhaps?

heres the unit list



Now can we discuss scotland for the love of jesus :tooth:

[bayard54]

dam! wher's the smiley wher we can see a guy making love to polish flag?? :tooth:
i think it's clearly appropriate for this thread (with jesus permission ofc... ).

[Soulflame]

That's a screenshot of the Portugese units, not the Polish ones. The Polish units haven't been revealed yet.

Well there is one polish unit in the unit previews and there were some pics of the poles in the burebista thread.

[Matty_P]

let me specifiy what i meant by saying i wanted to learn everything about poland.

i already am familiar with the history of medieval and contemporary poland. any pole that is not is a pole lacking. i merely formed this thread to see what poland will be portrayed like in M2TW. i meant, units, cities, etc. i know a great deal of my 'Ojczyzna', i don't know anything about what it's gonna be like in this game.

jeez, guys...do you really believe me to be this ignorant about my country?

My brother drew this up on an existing campaign start map which only shows the icons of the 5 starting factions but he wrote where each of the other factions (including Poland will be).

I always liked the look of Polish winged Hussars, I hope they are in or someone mods them in.

Is this pic really based on an actual historical unit? The feathers and leopard skin looks more Aztec to me .

Edit: found more pics of this unit and it does seem to be historical, apologies for my ignorance on this. Fascinating!

[cegorach]

Polish Winged Hussars ( Husaria in Polish) is clearly the most famous military unit of Polish origin.

Also in some movies http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...ent=szarza.flv

However there is no possibility this superb unit will be in MTW2, worry not though MODs will care about that ( the link in my sign can answer some questions).



Anyway, during the medieval period Poland had hardly anything uniqe - the army was very similar to those of France or Germany, only in early XVIth century a new, unique to Poland army started to be created with its excellent blend of western and eastern warcraft.

Polish army was very interesting in XVI-XVIIth century, but hardly in Medieval - after all a typical Polish knight ( here on the right)



was hardly different from a French one.

Ya, I like Poland. I hope it and Romania is in the game.

And why, exactly, Romania should be in the game? Can you explain, please.

[Tzif]

Wow, that looks awsome.

Ya, I like Poland. I hope it and Romania is in the game.

We don't know yet, CA hasn't released much info about what Poland will be like ingame.

[Matty_P]

thanks, lusted. i just posted this thread so that when the preview comes out, we can 'discuss poland for the love of jesus'.

[juufa72]

sorry to spoil your fun but the winged hussars were from the 1600s.
