At civ scale it's hard to tell one hat from the other.
Ok then. But still this lance is not accurate.
As I wrote - there are no examples of combat usage of lances by Polish cavalry in the 1939 Campaign. They were used only during parades.
Sabers, yes (even though cavalry in 1939 fought on horseback only
occasionally). But lances, no.
Cavalry in the Polish army in 1930s was not much more than elite, mounted infantry. It fought 95% of its engagements dismounted (on foot).
It moved to battles on horseback, but fought dismounted (only horse-keepers were being left behind the lines to keep the horses).
And actually the motorization of cavalry was already in progress - in September 1939 Poland mobilized 11 "horse-drawn" cavalry brigades, but also 2 motorized ones. All cavalry was planned to be motorized, but Poland was a poor country & Hitler invaded before motorization could be completed.
Apart from shortage of money, there were other problems. Such as low level of motorization of the country as a whole (= shortage of people with driving license, shortage of motor vehicles & industry producing them). Only Romania and a few other European countries were less motorized than Poland.
One of the things that has always bummed me out about Civ III is the tiny scale.
Yes the tiny scale makes improvements in graphics less visible.
BTW I still think that Civ I was the best of Civ series, even though it has terrible graphics by today standards.

Edit:
And this huge
"Bóg, Honor, Ojczyzna" is also a bit annoying to me. It would fit to Mel Gibson's pathetic / nationalistic movies.
Alongside with his large moustache and all this archaic look (in my opinion Napoleonic, as I already wrote), the
"Bóg, Honor, Ojczyzna" ("God, Honour, Fatherland") - looks ridiculous.
I posted some photos of how cavalry in 1939 really looked like - including even wartime photos.
The
"Za Waszą i Naszą Wolność" (
"For Your and Our Freedom") also fits more to Napoleonic period, or to the Spring of 1848, when Poland was occupied (partitioned) and fought for independence abroad (including Poles fighting in American War for Independence or in Hungary).
