Poland capital

I have a few comments.

1. Poland was divided into districts only in 1138 so it had no vassals but I understand that this would mess up the balance.

2. The capital of Poland since 1039 is Krakow. Right now there is some city that has never been the capital (Crinsk or something similar, I don't remember because I've never even heard of such a city before). If Krakow can't be the capital of Poland because, for example, it is the only region of Lesser Poland (Lesser Poland Province is a vassal of Poland), then I propose that the capital be Gniezno, which was the capital until 1039. As a Pole, I can't stand the fact that the capital is some Crinsk :(

3. The province map. When I switch to the province map, playing as Poland, Poland has provinces in very similar colors and I can't tell where their borders are. In Empires it was more visible because the colors of neighboring provinces had more distinct colors.

3. Have you played around with the settings for borders in settings? I don't know if changing there will help, also check out the other graphics settings to help, I remember something with shields.

Thank you for your response. Indeed, Cirnsk does not exist in Poland, neither now nor in the Middle Ages. We will look into that as well as these color-related issues.

Edit: the files for the next patch are already under way, so there will be sometime before the actual changes.

Update:
Cirnsk is actually Czersk, which was a significant medieval town in the Duchy of Masovia, serving as a ducal residence and regional stronghold before its decline in favor of Warsaw.

Nowadays, it's only a village with a ruined castle.

Duchy of Masovia was only partially independent from rest of polish country and it was formed in 1138 from the territories of the Kingdom of Poland (and before that was really independent), following its fragmentation and while Czersk was indeed its capital for some time, Krakow was capital of Poland so nor the capital nor the date is correct start position for polish capital in the game. Wikipedia isn't primary source of course for correct info on history but it's a good start and I recommend quick look into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Masovia

It seems the new capital position is not in the patch, sorry, it was not on purpose to fail on this. :oops:
