As it should be, no other military ever had them.

Oh please. This game has so many historical inaccuracies that non poles having winged hussars is not a big deal.

I think some people just drink too much red bull.

Can’t you be proud that the game has referenced polish military for more than 20 years now? I would feel honored with that.

It’s great, that made me feel like they always were part of the game - you are right.

But now that they are being added, why keep one of the most recognizable polish elements for all other civs which makes the Poles appear even more dominant than they were? Especially since changing it would mean little work.

It’s unnecessary, especially considering Poles like Magyars will have their own very recognizable Hussar skin.

Were you complaining about generic Hussars when they introduced Magyars? I doubt that.

Yeah, I was when I wasn’t even on this forum yet.

No idea why you would “doubt that”. Please explain your toxic assumption. And not just me, plenty of people too I saw on youtube comments, was a long time ago.

If anything having now 3 almost identical cavalry units with wings will become more confusing, especially to new players. That’s my primary concern.
The less important one is as I previously mentioned, it makes all other civs appear as polish too - which will be weird now, with the Poles in game.

I do not think that there will be anything like a special Polish hussar or Imperial hussar technology.

There was no mention of this by developers.

They mentioned Houfnice as an upgrade for Bohemian canon, but not any other special unit for Poles besides Obuch.

So maybe that special winged hussar on photos is just a scenario sprite, exactly like mounted Teutonic knights.

While I personally would not like to see Polish Hussar as UU for Poles since I would like to see them focused around medieval Poland - no mentioning of special Polish hussar or Imperial Hussar technology means nothing since in Lords of the West there was no mention of Flemish Militia or Flemish revolution technology in discription of Burgundians.

Yeah, but it is very strange that they did not mention Winged hussar as a unique unit. Everyone expected them.

For me, it looks like Poles get a bonus for hussars but not a Winged hussar as a unique unit.

But of course, I could be wrong.

It is going to be either:

a) A unit you get via a UT like the Flemish Militia (isn’t mentioned in the Burgundians civ description either)

b) A team bonus unit like the Imperial Skirmisher (isn’t mentioned in the civ description of Vietnamese either).

c) Very unlikely in my opinion: a scenario editor only unit (most people wouldn’t be happy with that, so I doubt Forgotten Empires went into this direction).

Among all those options, I think b) is likely, because with all the talk about the Battle of Vienna, it would go well with the Poles theme they’re going for.

They’re not going to cut the Wings of the Hussars, that’s pretty much sure though.

They weren’t going to at least. But since the community would welcome it I don’t see why they wouldn’t remove this very Polish element from the other Hussars to better differentiate them.

I feel these new Hussars will become an Imperial or Post-Imperial tech improving regular Hussars, exclusively for the Poles. Similarly as the Paladin upgrade comes after the Cavalier one.
It would be odd to make them a team bonus and perhaps overpowered as a trash unit, but I wouldn’t mind it since there are even better team bonuses already.

What gives you the idea that the community would support this change? Even in this thread more people seem to be against rhen for it

If anything maybe more posts against it but from the same few people. What gave you the idea that most people would be against it?

Furthermore ask yourself this.

What would the community rather.

The devs create a new wingless sprite to replace the old winged sprite (after they already have put in work to give poles a unique skin as is), or the devs focus on bugs and other fixes.

If you consider that many of the aggressive posters seem to use 2 or more accounts to vote up their own posts, this doesn’t seem representative.

The people who have multiple accounts aren’t the type to agree with Mr.

Again. Poles already have a unique hussar model. Why do they need to go further and remove the old one from other civs?

I believe the answer to this would be further meaningless events with Bretzel projectile mods. Their priorities appear to be questionable in the first place. Taking off wings of such a unit would be a matter of minutes.

Who do you think you are? :grinning:
