Civilization V Leader | Casmir III of Poland

King Casimir III, the only Polish king to earn the subsequent title of "the Great," reigned during the 14th Century AD and established himself as a decisive and able ruler, relying on his skill in diplomacy and sensible decision-making to greatly improve the well-being of his people and security of his kingdom. Although Casimir's predecessor, his father King Wladyslaw I, was respected for having reunited the divided realm, Casimir inherited a kingdom rife with challenges. In rebuilding a depleted economy, strengthening the military, codifying the law, and expanding the borders of Poland, Casimir left his country much better than he found it - and sealed his legacy as one of Poland's greatest kings. By the time of his death, Casimir III had assured the prestige and respect of Poland throughout medieval Europe.

I like how the other leaders talk in different languages, but since I grew up learning Polish it's just strange understanding Casmir.

[@dunai7178]

+Sahib Rahman nope thats modern polish

[@dunai7178]

normally, but i think actor who is dubbing Casimir is picked wrong, they should take man with lower and calmer voice

[@kapitan19969838]

Właśnie, tutaj brzmi jak jakiś Paźdioch

[@nashia3111]

+kapitan19969838 XDDD

[@HellmanakaUselessTeamakaDevad]

Same, but with Catherine from Russia. I am natively Russian.

[@flamebird2218]

0:44 *Moje armie zetrą Cię w proch!* The weird thing is that even when you don't speak Polish, you still can understand at least two words as a native English Speaker here if you are a good listener. Despite the fact that English is a Germanic language. Considering that what he said means "My armies will grind you to dust!"

[@damianherbowicz6894]

Oczywiście :)

[@maksymalnybul6145]

xd? That doesn't make any sense

[@Fankas2000]

Christian Shelton The was majority of the languages in Europe come from a single ancient language. Hence why there are so many similar sounding words in European languages.

[@paweostrowski1268]

Fankas2000 ...which is called proto indo european.

[@markkars8754]

We are all Indo-Europeans

[@ApprenPlayer]

Here's are the dialogues of the leader's words: 1. I, Casimir the Great, welcome you to the lands of the Great Kingdom of Poland. 2. Let's hear it... Good. 3. No. 4. Proceed. Absolutely Not. 5. My armies will grind you to dust! 6. A hundred times, no.

[@ukaszswies1800]

"Moje armie zetrą Cię w proch!"

[@mivku_]

Pomimo małych, nie bardzo znaczących błędów w wymowie ("Po stokrocz, nie!") aktor całkiem nieźle podłożył głos, choć o wiele bardziej pasowałby tutaj spokojny, opanowany i niższy :)

[@MurdokEXTRA]

Szkoda że nie wzięli tu jakiegoś polaka, Dariusz Odija byłby świetnym Kazimierzem Wielkim :(

[@adamkozido7733]

Ten co jest bardziej pasowałby do Łokietka :)

[@Hguhf5823]

***** wzięli Polaka, Alka Lubczyńskiego

[@MurdokEXTRA]

Mariusz Krawczyk A to ci nowość :P

[@alexanderchenf1]

MazakGaming Long live the Commonwealth and Polish democracy! Regards from China

[@RealBronas]

Translation: "I, Casimir the Great, welcome you on the lands of the mighty Polish Kingdom." "I'm listetning" "Alright." "No." "Continue." "Absolutely not." "My armies will trample you to dust!" "The hundreth time, no!" Loosely translated - I'm Polish.

[@Gracz87]

Aktor mówi wyraźnie, i "po polsku", tylko akcent jak z Jackowa w Chicago.

[@niepowaznyczlowiek]

Pewnie wzięli Polaka jakiego mieli pod ręką

[@QkiZMonsteR]

0:13 kasę wziął ale oddać to już nie. typowy polaczek ;)

[@PawelK198604]

LOL xD

[@maksymalnybul6145]

A co będzie oddawał dwa razy więcej jak nawet nie wykorzystał? Nie lepiej iść na VIPa?

Johann Gaius isiNwinga Zulu Ahuitcoyotzin Hirohito WTF IT's the most stupid meme i ever heard

[@shaunibabe1]

Nice joke

[@joshuaroblox5092]

love that music

[@adrianoos3]

No, he is in Poland know only as Casimir III the Great (Kazimierz III Wielki), not the Bigest (Największy). But you have right, he was really tall.

[@daanmollema6366]

The pun is real

[@Orzislaw]

'Cause Austrians were introduced earlier and during that time Firaxis probably doesn't think about adding Poland to Civ5. They give them red-white colors to be distinctive for other civs. When they released Poland that color scheme was already taken, so they decide to give Poland vermillion-granite scheme, for the sake of distinctiveness (althought I think that vermillion-silver would be better scheme).

[@adrianoos3]

Yes, im from Poland and i think he's voice is like voice from polish dubbing in cartoons :D

[@Deconscecrate]

Look in the background, behind Casimir.. They got it right in at least the leader scene.

[@Jedi1132]

Damn, i understand half of his words.

[@B1SCOOP]

Why do I hear Christmas Carol in the background?

[@adrianoos3]

fajnie tym berłem macha ;P Po Kazimierzu idealnie widać, że teksty przywódców są mało zróżnicowane. Mogliby dać więcej powitań, przegranych, wypowiadania wojen i odpowiedzi na wojnę. I lepiej, gdyby mówił po bardziej staropolsku :) Ale jest ok.

[@Alphathon]

Presumably because: a) Austria came first (G&K vs BNW), so they made Austria without thought for Poland's colours b) Austria's modern flag and medieval colours are both red-white-red, c) Firaxis always use the same two colours for the arms/logo/icon as they do for the culture borders, and d) two white eagles on a red background would be very confusing (and when you include England, there would be three countries white+red culture borders).

[@phenethylamine91]

"jaaaaaak ci się podoooooba moja ofeeeerta?" This phrase (trade offer) isn't here but I hate how the voice actor elongates all the vowels in it

[@daanmollema6366]

Jezus, Dude, what is that last name??

[@neamustaine4456]

daan mollema common polish surname ;)

[@Evilinkoff]

Polish sounds on 70% russsian lol. As russian I've understood almost everything he said lol :D

[@MurdokEXTRA]

Well they're both slavic languages :P

[@AdamWolnikowski]

I get the same feeling with Russian (I'm Polish)

[@TedKovic]

Evilinkoff That's the Slavic similarity. As a Serb I understand him very well.

[@Finwaell]

Evilinkoff I am Slovak and I understand him as well :) (fluent in Czech, understand Russian and to some degree the southern Slavic languages as well :) That is great about the Slavic people, we are like one big family :)

[@TedKovic]

I agree.

[@stemm09]

Casimir III is incapable of a Science Victory.

[@ketra1504]

why?

[@stemm09]

+Robert House - Nop, becouse Poland cannot into space xD

[@Solaxe]

+Retrograde Motion It can. Poland had a successful astronaut and is currently developing countless spaceship/station components. This meme joke doesn't make any sense

[@NeoSpeedfire]

oh kurwa someone can't get memes :(

[@tauwilltriumph]

Damn, the VA has a very strong American accent.

[@ramio1983]

ABSOLUTELY NYET ! lol

[@FagitSohn]

It's "Absolutnie nie"

[@neamustaine4456]

ramio1983 NIE

[@Wykletypl]

Well, I guess Żupan and Kontusz are much older than I thought...

[@marcinlip]

I have only one question: why polish eagle in this game is black and austrian white???

[@adrianoos3]

Tak jest u wszystkich liderów.

[@Solaxe]

Dzieki, ale pelne tlumaczenie dialogow jest na wikipedii

[@joshuaroblox5092]

@0:00 you should be happy u have a new friend

[@ToasteeCrunch]

look closer, its behind him

[@RevanSK]

what was taken? they should just switch colors between austria and poland

[@Alchemisterius]

Casimir's name in Spanish is Casimiro, which sounds like "casi miro" (I almost look). By the way he has a funny voice.

[@adrianoos3]

He have some right. This look like dungeon or castle at night...

[@Solaxe]

Czy ja wiem, akcent brzmi "sredniowiecznie"

[@user-ep6vv6yk7u]

0:35 sounds like "absolutely no"

[@marcinwzgarda123]

Dlaczego w tle jest kolęda ,,Bóg sie rodzi"? :D

[@demize999]

Trzeba przyznać , przepych kwestii powala -.-

[@hexi3064]

"O STOKROĆ NIE"

[@alexander.ivanov.astrakhan]

Я польского не знаю, но всё понял без перевода.

[@pepe-qs6zr]

0:35 subtitles : Maybe enother time speech :Absolutly not

[@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723]

wHy could we not get John Sobieky!?

[@KinoNowejPrzygody]

I don't know about other civ leaders but this version of native (Polish) language is wrong. He speaks with MODERN Polish while Polish people in The Late Middle Ages spoke in Old Polish which was more similar to Czech language when it comes to pronunciation. Modern day Polish stress or acute accent on the next to last syllable. In The Late Middle they were stressing on the first syllable.

[@vonVince]

Much better than his great niece Jadwiga in Civilization VI

[@carrotizgud9222]

well, he isn't called the great for no reason now is he

[@asadar6332]

야! 카시미에시 볠키!

[@adrianoos3]

Laziness of game developers. If it had changed, everyone would be happy. Not only Poles (like me) and Austrians.

[@henrythealpaca795]

Hi dan

[@TheZakhai]

Yes! My national leader! And his language is pretty good :D GJ Daniel!

[@asttter1451]

Who ask Ha Ha

[@trbd]

did he just said "absolutely nyet" there?

[@10mei72]

Wira SW Absolutnie nie.

[@tungstenvideos123]

"absolutely nye" more like this. It mean "Of course not"

[@akxis4711]

Nie wiem czemu ale ten jego głos mi trochę nie pasuje

[@Deconscecrate]

They didn't do their research.

[@aaaaantek]

0:51 Po stokrocz nie!

[@SwordofGideon2023]

I know, I was joking....

[@d4n737]

Well... He's not bad in his speech, it sounds... strangely american? Well, at least it's not like Jadwiga from VI where... I have no Idea what she was doing, she spoke like a Polish woman, but the intonations of her voice were like that of an alien that learns through mimicry and hasn't quite figured out what's a "Normal" speech pattern yet

[@Marco-tc1bc]

In my game, he looks like a blind guy. ._.

[@Ponanoix]

*READ IF YOU ARE FOREIGNER* Before scrolling down / writing "did he say absolutely nyet" or something like that - don't do it. He said "absolutnie nie" which means the same, but for Poles writing something like this is offensive, so yeah...don't do it.

[@mojpiesto]

Noticing similarities between words from two different slavic languages equals being offensive? You heard it here first people, you are not allowed to mishear, misunderstand or the like when it comes to languages, especially languages you do nit speak or else this person here will be offended. You wouldn't want to offend a random polish guy on the internet would you? Oh the horror of such a thing! Hiw dare you even consider offending mister Karol? Have you any idea who he is? He is a polish person on the internet! Can any of you claim anything even remotely worthy of respect? I didn't think so! Weź se waćpan idź w chuj i wstydu nam polakom oszczędź, dorośnij i zmądrzej zanim znów swą głupią jadaczkę otworzysz

[@mojpiesto]

Nie obrażam bez powodu, lecz dlatego, że pierdoły opowiada =3 A czy wstyd to nam przynosi, że rodakowi głupotę wypominam? Myślałbym, że jako naród jako idioci uchodzić byśmy nie chcieli, jakolwiek zgodne z prawdą by to nie było. Być może będę "lepiej nie gadać" jeśli nie będę miał nic do powiedzenia. Pan tymczasem się zastanowi, zanim wyda swoją opinię używając jednocześnie anime avatarka =3

[@wellsey89]

I don't speak much Polish, but his accent sounds weird to me.

[@kryszak777]

Thats not russian, its "Nie"

[@rutek2103]

Co prawda kolęda też piękna ale wolałbym żeby w tle leciało to: watch?v=qZKliJgxUTI

Nie.

0:35 Absolutely Niet :D

[@KingOrro1]

Yeah right and Casimir wasn't so short in Poland he is named Casimir the Bigest becouse he was the tallest king in this time

[@anonimanonymus8567]

It bugs me that Poland have black eagle in c5. This is huge faux pas...

[@Walhell]

Bo to main soundtrack Polski. watch?v=eMCqfZLlYxY tu jest cały

[@ThornyGuy757]

I don't know but... it's just so wrong... ;/

[@adrianoos3]

But Austrian eagle is black, and Polish white... Firaxis could only change the colors of them. This is laziness, for my.

[@SlavicWolfPL]

The strangest thing is that Casimir was 'great' mostly because he was very high. His politics used to be mostly peaceful (with the exception of one, victorious campaign) and he screwed his job as left no legal heir (having loads of bastards)- thus he was the last king of Piast dynasty. If any Polish king deserves this title, it is certainly Boleslav I, most often called 'the brave' (but in medieval polish, kievan and german chronicles is called 'the great')- true conqueror (he tripled his realms territory), good diplomat (grandfather of thre scandinavian kings) and the first one with crown on his head.

[@firestarter000001]

I dont know, from what I know Casimir did a great many things for Poland internally, building up the economy, funsidng the first academy, buuilding up forts, Honestly i respect much more a ruler who strenghend Poland internally, in peace, then a conqueror,

[@Godunow100]

+Smok While he was surely a skilled ruler, Bolesław expansionist policy almost lead to complete collapse of country after his death.

[@paweandonisgawralidisdobrz2522]

Casimir make Poland three times bigger than it was before. And Bolesław make many enemies, that he's son Mieszko 2 payed for.

[@RhodianColossus]

Artykulacja dla Amerykanów.

[@dominic4981]

Głos aktora niestety nie pasuje do wizerunku utworzonego, chociaż mówi poprawną polszczyzną.
