new civilization: Poland

Nice, if you still need the sounds i can try find the polonaise and i will make those order sounds, lets say for tommorow or on środa (damn how is it in english:D )

Thanks for the tip on the mod and one more thing - if we are discussing the hussar - these wings were mostly for avoiding being captured by sort of web used by mongol horse archers. They were extremely effective against heavy cavalry until they met those wings;) For more historical stuff - hussar offcourse should have bonus vs meele but also vs mounted and i would think about bonus vs city raiding - each hussar was equipped with a pistol to fight with fortifications.
 
Flags which I placed in the previous theme ( http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=3376935&posted=1 ) work fine. It is only necessary to change the recording in the file: \Mods\Poland\Assets\XML\Art\CIV4ArtDefines_Civilization. It was:
"<Path>Art/Interface/TeamColor/flagdecal_Poland.dds</Path>
<bWhiteFlag>0</bWhiteFlag>"
Now I change this on:
"<Path>Art/Interface/TeamColor/flagdecal_Poland.dds</Path>
<bWhiteFlag>1</bWhiteFlag>"

It's OK. I place once again flags and additionally changed file CIV4ArtDefines_Civilization.

OK. Here is a little improved last flag (greater eagle). I think, that this version can be included to the "Polish Mod", of course if she pleases.

Thanks msz4. I have Bogurodzica, too, however what would be cool is having someone with a music edition programme to somehow (if it is at all possible) make a "primitive" and a "symphonic" version of Bogurodzica, so that we have three soundtracks for different eras. If you know anyone who can do that, it would be a great help. :)

according to my information feathers wings of husaria allow them to create a specific sound that was distrupting enemy horses, thus I think that husar should have bonuses versus mounted

This explanation is very popular but I think it is like an urban legend. I heard that the reason for their wings was different: husaria often had been fighting the Crimean Tartars, who often used a weapon called arcan (? - I am not sure if such word exists in English, but the weapon is a bit similar to the Indian lasso) and the wings prevented hussars from being caught from behind.

yes, i used to think that about the wings as well. as it was explained to me it was something along the lines of a dive bomber sound.

however, im not sure exactly how that would be accomplished with the wings the way they are. To me, the most practical explanantions are twofold (in addition to the lasso idea):

One: psychological intimidation. these units are very recognizable on the battlefield - everyone pretty much knew them by sight. And it might make the units look larger as well.

Two: to confuse the enemy about your numbers. It might have broken up the individual riders profiles, making them look like one big mass, rather than a collection of individuals.

Yes, those wings had a psychological influence oh defenders.When Hussar was in move the wings produced a strange sound.Wings were moving a little bit in motion.
 
We will change existing statical LeaderHeads on yours 3d leaders with pleasure. We need:
Casimir III the Great (Kazimierz III Wielki) - perhaps as the background Wawel Castle ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wawel ) .
John III Sobieski (Jan III Sobieski) - perhaps as the background Wilanów palace ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilanów ).

Good work, fellows.
I'd have to throw my two zloty to the hussar wings discussion, apparently it's
a thing that many historians and ordinary people cannot agree on.
Myself, i've heard that both the protection from arkan lassoes and the dive bomber sound were legends, and wings were only a ceremonial thing, not used in battles.
Of course it hardly matters, hussars were adept both at breaking organized infartry and chasing fast cavalry of the steppe variety.
 
Sorry guys for an extended absence - I had some tough **** going on in real life and didn't have time to focus on the mod at all. Good to see others picked it up, though. :)
