== Strategy ==
The Poles are one of the most versatile nations, but also one specialized in mounted units. Their unique building, the Ducal Stable, helps them train better mounted units, and later their Winged Hussars confer them a great advantage over the enemy in the middle game. Their unique ability allows them to progress faster than normal with their social policies.
To best utilize Poland's advantages, a militaristic path is optimal. Also, look for any , , and/or resource that allows you to build Ducal Stables - they will be very valuable to you! Try to aim for these when settling your first cities, because the extra and this early in the game will confer a significant boost to your local and global economies.
Domination victory is preferred because the extra social policy per era helps you catch up to other nations in social development, as with a military strategy, you'll be busy building units and military buildings instead of cultural buildings. The extra policy per-era can also help you with your ideology.
On the other hand, the unique ability also makes it possible to win the game by diplomatic, scientific, or cultural means, provided you explore the appropriate social policy trees.

== Trivia ==
* Poland's unique ability is named after the Independent Self-Governing Trade Union "Solidarity", a Polish trade union founded in 1980, which is known for being the first independent labor union in an Eastern Bloc country and playing a major role in the downfall of communist rule in Poland.
* Poland's in-game colors are incorrect - the eagle in the actual Polish emblem is white. However, a white eagle on red background already serves in-game as an emblem of the Austrian civilization.
