Poland

Poland is one of the most adaptable civilizations in the game, with government flexibility that lets it respond to whatever the current game state rewards.

Unique Ability

Golden Liberty: building an Encampment or Fort triggers a Culture Bomb, claiming surrounding tiles. One Military policy slot in every government is converted into a Wildcard slot.

Unique Unit: Winged Hussar

A powerful cavalry unit with a strong bonus against enemy ranged units.

Unique Infrastructure

Poland has no unique building or district — its strength comes entirely from its civilization ability and Winged Hussar.

How to Play Poland

  • Don't be afraid to switch governments as your strategy shifts — Poland is built to make that transition cheap.
  • Use Winged Hussars to punish enemy ranged-heavy armies specifically.
  • Because of the flexibility, Poland is a solid pick if you're unsure which victory type you want to pursue.
