At the beginning of 16th Century Poland should become a local superpower with good perspectives for world domination in the future. Next part of game is only limited by player's vision - go East, go West and unite whole Europe, trying of colonisation in New World, Westernisation. Poland is one of many countries which disappeared from the map during or shortly after the period that is presented in the game. Poland was attacked by Austria, Russia and Prussia at the same time in late 18th centuries in what is known as 'Partitions of Poland'.
Those powers divided Polish territory between themselves and in three short wars put an end to the long and glorious history of Poland for the next years. But in she still is an emerging power in the region - Poland's Golden Age in real history took place in 16th and early 17th centuries. There aren't many countries that would like to be in conflict with her at that time. The player has all the tools necessary to change history.
Compared to previous versions, in HttT Poland and Lithuania start at war with a much more powerful enemy - Golden Horde itself. GH has a much bigger army than Poland's and Lithuania's armies combined and this army is en route into Lithuania since day one. All the first steps taken in the game must be directed at preventing Golden Horde from breaking up Lithuania. To make matters worse, Russian states are very likely to attempt to steal a slice of Lithuania for themselves while Poland is busy with the Horde.
As an alternative, Poland may give up on Lithuania, first concede land to Golden Horde and then let Lithuania fall apart into small Russian principalities that will be later conquered by bigger powers in the region. Poland being strong and wealthy will be able to cut itself a big slice of this cake. After inheriting Lithuania, Poland will realize their army isn't even nearly enough to cover the area they just got hold of.
To make matters worse, due to lack of cores on Lithuanian lands for next 50 years Polish income isn't much higher and nationalist rebellions spawn immediately all over former Lithuania lands. First 20 or so years after inheriting will be spent hunting rebels at low income and manpower while research starts lagging behind.
Then rebellions will slowly calm down to disappear close to the end of getting cores period. After 50 years from inheriting Poland and Lithuania will be one powerful country, certainly worth all the hard work in the past decades. Westernisation is a process that allows you to leave the eastern research group and to join the better, Latin group. As of Heir to the Throne, Westernisation takes away two important things from Poland.
Thus westernisation is best delayed until "Rely on Polish Hussars" decision can be taken and in general, the Hussar era is over around the end of the 16th century. Poland is a Strategy guide based on player experience. However, gameplay may not necessarily be as per the guide due to the game's dynamic nature. Staying Poland for the whole game is boring and only way i'd consider doing this achievement is when it was available for Commonwealth aswell. Xerxes A Second Lieutenant Badges.

Sep 19, Is there any possibility that this could be changed to allow the Commonwealth formed by Poland to also complete the achievement? The only real difference is the nation flag, it's a real shame that you can't get the achievement for the sake of not changing your flag.
This seems like a tiny oversight that could easily be fixed. Mar 9, 1. FitzChiv said:. Click to expand TKaz84 Major 78 Badges. Apr 28, The purpose of achievements is to reward you for doing something extraordinary.

Why is the sentence structure in such a weird and wrong way? Some of their works are simple gameplay narrations, but others are intricate works of fan fiction indeed. Theoretically, they can all be played in one big historically chronological succession thanks to a pretty brilliant though somewhat buggy Old Save Bonus system created by the developers, and the modding community will often create their own converters to fill in any gaps.
