Overview

Poland is a catholic faction, located in central Europe, north of Hungary.

Its position gives numerous advantages. First, it's fairly secure, with only the mountainous Hungarian border at the campaign's outset. Second, the vast and empty steppes are to Poland's east, and may also provide the faction with a good source of Papal favor points, as only a small percentage of people in these lands begin as Catholics.

Poland is clearly a cavalry power and has a good mix of all types of cavalry including Strzelcy, early mounted crossbowmen, Polish guard, and Lithuanian cavalry horse archers. This puts the Poles at a clear advantage over some of its neighbors that don't have that many spearmen in their armies, for example: Denmark and Hungary, though to a lesser extent.

Polish infantry is weaker than the cavalry available. Although in the early game, it is still stronger than the Holy Roman Empire and its worth mentioning that Lithuanian archers can deploy stakes to deter other faction's cavalry.

Due to charging bugs, its not advisable to play as Poland without the 1.2 patch, due to their reliance on heavy cavalry to win battles.
