New Civ look Poland

[Sporally]

Well, with Brazil and Germany in game, Firaxis continues to fill meh countries with decent players base.

Can you blame them for being commercial at times? I don't know anyone being aztecs who want to buy Civ6 As long as all their leaders aren't based on the player-base. And not adding Germany to the game would be a big mistake. It is one a the most significant civilizations in many aspects. I guess adding all these female leaders is also to be commercial in some sense.

Nah, I cannot blame them. I can only be disappointed. To be honest I am more disappointed by pathetic amount of rooster civs. It is 2016 afterall.

Yes, not adding Germany to the game would be a great commercial mistake. Maybe the Great Mistake mentioned in BE.
Seriously though, I respect your opinion, forgive me this little joke.

Rest uniques is not worthy mention, meh.

Winged Hussars are meh? I'd guess you never used them. At 55 strength, they're the most powerful unit of the Medieval Era. Their pushback ability is also no joke, and I think it can even drive away units from cities.

I believe Poland can pull out one of the best Theocracy pushes with them. They cost only ~490 faith, which is pretty cheap considering their faith bonuses. Even with Winged Hussars on the other side of the Civics tree, but if you are doing a Theocracy push then you're probably already heading that way for the Conscription policy.

Why people nitpick about the gender of the leader? Political correctness or not, it's a fact that history favored men, thus it's natural that they had more accomplishments. On the other hand, it's not right to downplay women saying that they were chosen by Firaxis only because they were women.

I'd rather see a constructive criticism about how to play Poland. What are their strengths and weaknesses? How to best play them? How their bonuses mix and favor them? How to counter them?

Really, how come we're discussing gender instead of strategy about a, well, dunno, a strategy game?

Given the choice between staring at Teddy Roosevelt's ponderous gut and Jadwiga's coy smile for 12 hours of a game, I'll take Jadwiga. The gender of the leaders is basically immaterial to me. It's an obvious attempt at increasing diversity. I'm fine with it. Finding historically important women can be difficult, especially as you trek further back in history. For one, women were generally allowed to do less, and ancient historians took less notice of the accomplishments of women. She was at least a leader of her country, that's good enough for me.

Moving on!

Aztecs still exist to the present day; they're called Nahua (Aztec is an exonym): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahua_peoples

Yes, they do play Civ VI.

No problem. Didn't know it was a joke. Seemed rather serious about it.

My bad! Firaxis is very commercial bringing the aztecs into the game

 

[God of Kings]

I am curious to know what are the special bonuses for each playable civ in the Poland scenario.

 

[Obi_Ganj_Kenobi]

Winged Hussar is kinda meh in my opinion. Why did they have to put it in the worst possible civic (top row, opposite the corresponding heavy Calvary card.)?

I don't remember it to be honorst, but they all are equal with the exception of the civ leader ability. I guess you can find it in a YouTube-video as some have played the scenario and uploaded it to YouTube. I think Drew has made a video about the scenario. I guess you can see it that way unless you found the answer somewhere else.

@Guandao I am curious to know the full details of the Poland scenario (Jadwiga's Legacy), such as colour, symbols, leader abilities, and city names.

I would show you pictures of the flags, but I have no clue how to insert images here, used to be so much easier before.

I played using all of these and the double hussars is definitely strongest and double workers/engineers is definitely the weakest. I didn't even use the cossacks in my game as I never made it to them.
