Dev: "So you know how Poland was overpowered in Civ 5, right?"
Other dev: "Yeah, they were insane."
Dev: "What if we took Poland... and made it TWICE AS POWERFUL."
Other dev: "BRILLIANT!"

She willingly gave up marriage to her lover and fiance in order to secure a marriage to Lithuania which enabled the Commonwealth to form. She showed restraint with the Teutonic Order and slyly prepared her forces to weaken them at an opportune time. She built infrastructure, hospitals, and universities, and was considered a matron to the poor and common people...for whom she pushed charity beyond church doctrine, and also ordered scripture to be translated into Polish. She genuinely wanted Poland to not only be strong and defensible, but also take care of all of its inhabitants.

Theres no need for you to scroll down thousands of comments. Here's basically how it goes:
•WW2 Poland jokes
•Poland can into X
•holyshitdemhipsthough.jpg
•Dude, that's so OP!
•AND THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVE!
•Where is MY nation already?
•Firaxis added a female.leadrr! That surely.means they are all cheeky feminists djfjfjsjejcdssene
•Jadwiga was not even that good a leader anyways
•Im not paying full DLC price for THIS

I adore the fact that there was this 6 feet tall 14 year old girl running a decently important country back in the day, and people figured there was no need for a regent, because she was wise beyond her years...

Then again, after your third daughter, it makes sense to switch gear from "sire a male heir" to "put a woman on the throne". Illegal to have a queen running the country? Fuck it, pull some strings and call her a "king". There, legal.

[novapokerplayer]

She's the cutest "king" I've ever seen, even if she is just a cartoon rendering.

[PoliticRevolutionnaire]

All these OP bonuses and Poland still can't into space!

[Morm]

I must have missed that part in History lessons when Polands conquered the whole world with military engineers.

[shinydewott]

I think the retreating enemies one is pretty cool and her design is as well

but Jesus Christ she is really OP

[SoundsideSherry]

Ah!
The best Nation from Civ V is back!
And they sound like so much fun to play!

[EirinsApprentice]

Poland can into everyone else's space.

[BlazingAzureTheta]

... Wait, you can steal territory, can have two economic policies from the start, and can push defensive units out, even if it's during a certain part of the gane? Holy fuck. I don't know if that can beat Scythia's OPness, but still.

[cameronlord]

Jesus christ how many bonuses does this civ have? It sounds so op

[DEFxRECON]

Poland also has CD Projekt Red, so they're extremely op

[Peterdays]

she was crowned as "king" of Poland?

[mitchmooch]

Will Poland be as OP as it was previously?

[StyxTBuferd]

Me watching this video:

Poland can into civ! I hope their abilities are as good as they were in 5.
"Take territory from other civs with forts and encampments"
Wow, well that'll be super trolly and powerful for ICS. But I guess the rest of their abilities are going to suck.
"Winged Hussars stats as in civ 5"
Wow, well horse units are OP to begin with, and if this is a knight replacement, it might be the best unique unit in the game save for the War Cart. Sweet! Now on to the shitty stuff...
"One slot is replaced with Wildcard policy slot"
Wow, so essentially a slightly less powerful version of Greece's best ability. We're in tier 2 now for sure. Now for the shit.
"Building that adds gold to domestic trade routes and production to international trade routes"
Wow, a building I was going to build anyway gives me even more things. I swear we're out of abilities now. Good civ! I can't wait to...
"Cities you take territory from automatically follow your religion"
So it's the best religious civ in the game?
"Better adjacency for Holy Sites"
Yeah it's the best religious civ in the game.

I've been super excited to play Poland in Civ 6, and honestly before this it was just for the Hussars. Merry Christmas, Ed Beach and company. Merry Christmas.

[ursinewarrior]

"And the Winged Hussars arrived!"

[et]

"Crowned as King of Poland" the first "Did you just assume my gender" in history
