If the developers would have gone through with the Polish DLC what do you think would have happened to this unit? Would they just give Poland a card to be able to train the native unit but with a pop? Or would they just turn into a unit like Sipahi where you only get it from cards? Would they replace the native unit with something else?
Most probably it would have been tied to a unique mechanic or cards.
It could work on the same principle as German civilization, with each home card you would get a winged hussar
I had actually suggested something similar on here (with 1 per shipment being one of the methods for obtaining them). The interesting thing about 1 per shipment as a flat number would be it’d be strongest by percentage in age 2.
If a WH is worth 300 resources, than 700 + 300 would be a ~43% improvement, but that would drop to ~30% in age 3 while Germany’s stays similar across age 2 and 3.
Edit: this could theoretically make aggressive age 2 plays stronger for Poland, especially if the shipments cost is less than Germany’s.
At the age of 2, there would be no more shipments of soldiers.
