Let's Discuss Poland

[Tortilla Boy]

I can't believe people are still talking about his, why can't people just accept the facts, like talking about it is going to change the reality.

Well, it's more like about OT, actually.

Ninety-Nine percent of the people I know including myself don't even know what the heck poland is, all your average American knows about Poland is that there is a place called Poland in Europe.

I don't blame you. Several people in Poland know there's a place called "Wyoming" and it's not a Chinese colony in America For us it's mostly those big cities at coastlines and giant cornfields outside with potential koyote howling someplace far away. Have a try, ask them about Super Bowl (For me it was like bowling team or something...)

Thats it, that's why its not added, it's an American game by Americans, Poland isn't that big of a market and 99% of people don't know jack about Poland.

Spell "Landsknecht" or "Suryavarman" for me, big American.

Get over it, seriously.. they're running a business, Poland isn't important and there is absolutely no reason for them to add it from a business stand point.

Constantinople has a huge market. [yeah, I know, people prefer to play Byzantines even though Hippodrome doesn't give you GA slots ]
But think of the POTENTIAL: Winged hussars, seriously.

Has there ever been a Poland? Seriously.

Now that sounds way to philosophical to average Pole.

heck you might even start to understand what makes America so strong and help your cute little countries out when you get all growed up.

Giant laser? X-men? Washington's Fin/Org in Vanilla?

AMERICA WAS FOUNDED ON CAPITALISM.

You mocking my winged hussar thing?

There will never ever ever be a Poland in Civ, they will add Canada and Australia and prob Brazil and prob a few I'm not thinking of before they ever ever added Poland despite how many emails and crying you guys do at the firaxis doorstep.

Frankly, after they added HRE I thought that it's high time to go Bavarian-style :leatherpants:

SickCycle:

You really think devs picked Zulu, or Malinese etc or all them that dont exists anymore for their markets value ? doubt that...

Anyhow, agree with you theres several there should come before Poland, but for different reasons

 

[hossam]

Ignorant, uneducated, probably not most intelligent either.

Tell us when in the history Poland gave into any sort of demands, and prove to us that Poland lost all of the wars it fought.

Then I suggest that you either go back to school or commit suicide. The latter solution might be more appropriate for the better sake of mankind.

Well, basicly, when you suggest that wether someone other's country sux is important for video game stuff, you probably are nationalist yourself. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's how it sounds to me - two people, same measure.

 

[hossam]

im not a nationalist all countrys have there problems just some are crappier than others.

And what rational basis there would be to tell that Poland is one of them? CIA Factbook? Personal biases?

Fact is this, I'm an average American, I'm not like a lot of the people on here that know all kinds of junk about everything I know a little bit about what I find interesting,

Ninety-Nine percent of the people I know including myself don't even know what the heck poland is, all your average American knows about Poland is that there is a place called Poland in Europe.

Thats it, that's why its not added, it's an American game by Americans, Poland isn't that big of a market and 99% of people don't know jack about Poland.

Has there ever been a Poland? Seriously.

Maybe you should stop thinking about what is politically correct and start looking at it from a "BUSINESS" standpoint and you might get a glimpse of America, heck you might even start to understand what makes America so strong and help your cute little countries out when you get all growed up.

AMERICA WAS FOUNDED ON CAPITALISM.

There will never ever ever be a Poland in Civ, they will add Canada and Australia and prob Brazil and prob a few I'm not thinking of before they ever ever added Poland despite how many emails and crying you guys do at the firaxis doorstep.

Easy. Make your education system better. You know, so it actually covers something that isn't american?

I don't blame you.

Exactly, How come we know about all your states and the super bowl and everything and you don't know if we're in africa or europe.

im not a nationalist all countrys have there problems just some are crappier than others.

Don't get me even started with americans...

Because the USA has more cultural influence nowadays than Poland.

 

[Swedishguy]

Nah, it's because mercans are dum. Saying anything else would be an insult to glorious Poland!

Seriously, adding Poland to Civ should help people overcoming the wall of culture.

 

[0R4NG3]

Because the USA has more cultural influence nowadays than Poland.

What about that question that miss south carolina was asked? Why can't 20% of americans find their country on a map? Is it because of cultural influence also?

 

[aronnax]

Because the USA has more cultural influence nowadays than Poland.

Shipping Harry Potter movies and watching American Idol is not cultural influence.

That Volka that your father/uncle/neighbour/friend drank has more cultural influence than Hollywood can produce

 

[SickCycle]

Tortilla.. I absolutely loved your response and if your polish I fully back your country being added lmfao

My heart has been stolen by a plole..

Zulu is in because they need to touch the black market and if you lived in America and were in touch with the community you'd know that the Zulu are well known and respected.

I'm not even sure it was to touch the market more, I'm white and all I do is play the Zulu they are downright badass especially Shaka.

Zara is in because they needed another one and it was a very significant location.

I agree with whatever Tortilla says for now on.

 

[Diamondeye]

I have 4, EDIT: 5 points to make:
1) Nice title
2) I definately don't think Poland should be in the game
3) Nice comment on first page, EvilTwin
4) I am not about to commit suicide. Neither am I about to tell someone else to do so - except maybe my lil' bro

5: How come this thread has reached 27 pages on like 10 days.

 

[0R4NG3]

To some degree the situation is similar to that in United States, although more radical and with more possible options. Currently it's like a struggle between two factions of same strenght - those looking back into the past, and those looking forward. That's all what is to be said about modern Poland, I think.

Thanks for your extended analysis of Polish politics, I've learned a few new things. I had no idea that religion still plays such a great role in Poland.

This was discussed in OT and CFCer Ayatollah So found this which shows that statistic to be incorrect, or at least disputable. Don't believe everything you hear in a beauty pageant!

Besides, it has nothing to do with Poland.

Shipping Harry Potter movies and watching American Idol is not cultural influence.

That Volka that your father/uncle/neighbour/friend drank has more cultural influence than Hollywood can produce

How so? My sister watches a lot of American films... she knows more about America's geography than she does Britain's.

 

[flamingzaroc121]

what i hate more than this nationalistic talk about Poland (im not taking either side just saying the quantity) is how everyone thinks Americans are dumb fat @$$es that dont know anything. I'm American, and happen to be pretty intelligent for a 12 year old boy. It's fine if you watch those youtube videos about how (here comes the keyword) some Americans are stupid, just don't take from that video that all Americans aren't smart.

Sickcycle, after reading your post and several of your older post, I feel so much smarter

I trying to believe not all Americans are stupid ignorant people. I am attempting to believe that the average American is smart...You are not helping me a lot and i have this sudden urge to introduce to the English language a new Simile

As dumb as an American

 

[cybrxkhan]

though not all Americans are stupid, there are a good number that are ignorant, simple as that.

i said earlier on another thread, about a Naitonal Geographic survey of Americans (dunno where the link is, sorry). if i remember, 25% of young (not kids) Americans can't locte America on a map. thats just sad.

It does have alot to do with Poland; if a large percentage of some country's population can not locate its own country on a map, it is likely that an even larger percentage of that country's population will be unable to locate a foreign country on a map. And this has very little to do with cultural influence.
