Meme scenario of a civil war breaking out in Poland during presidential elections this year
Map shape is wrong especially alongside eastern border, but I didn't feel like correcting it beyond how it is currently

Game settings:
- 500 funds per property, fog of war. Tier 0, Sasha, Kindle and global damage COs should be banned. Any weather settings,
no unit limit, no capture limit,
60 turns limit
- Lab units: air and naval units other than transports, tanks, medium tanks, rockets, anti-air rockets
- Banned units: Neotanks, megatanks, black bombs, aircraft carriers, piperunners
- FFA recommended, but NATO powers (Cobalt Ice, Red Fire and Grey Sky) can be put into a team instead

Factions:

1. Orange Star: PiS, Prawo i Sprawiedliwość. "Law and Justice" party. Slightly right-leaning, they're the main opposition in
government, but they have the president and hold more seats in parliament than any single party. Current government
launched multiple corruption investigation against members of this party, and some of them would've been in jail if not for
receiving presidential pardon on grounds of being "proper/good people", as he put it

2. Blue Moon: KO, Koalicja Obywatelska. "Citisen Coalition" of 3 parties which formed government in 2023 parliamental
elections. PO "citisen platform" and Trzecia Droga "Third way" are classified by most as centrist, they're often accused by PiS
and Confederacy of being "foreign agents" of European Union or Russia, whichever is a hotter topic at the moment. Third
party, with only 6-8% support, is Lewica, "Left", which is as the name suggests just a tiny bit left-leaning

3. Green Earth: Polish armed forces, border guard, coast defense, and airport security. I didn't want to get arrested for trying
to locate their bases, so their placement on map is largely random. Note that Orange Star or Blue Moon players can capture
their HQ, this represents a scramble by both sides to get all the military equipment and win the civil war. Green Earth must
therefore keep money for repairing or replacing blackboats, if they wish to maintain independence (Concept shamelessly
stolen from a GTA-themed map I'm currently playing on)

4. Yellow Comet: Silesian minority. In this scenario they formed self-defense militias to protect themselves from the chaos

5. Black Hole: Konfederacja, wolność i niepodległość ("Confederacy, Freedom and Independence"). Ideologically far-right,
and according to some Russian agents. At 10-15% support and steadily rising, their candidate has an actual chance of
winning presidential elections.

6. Red Fire: British and Canadian troops stationed on Polish territory. Will they in this scenario make Poland a part of British
Commonwealth?

7. Grey Sky: Germany, and general EU intervention in the civil war.

8. Brown Desert: Islamic minority and refugees formerly stuck on Belarusian border due to Lukashenko's scheme. The latter
manage to enter Poland in the chaos of civil war in this scenario. +10% firepower due to being the weakest faction on the
map.

9. Amber Blaze: Kashubian minority, just like Silesians formed self-defense militias in this scenario

10. Cobalt Ice: United States of America, and their bases on Polish territory. Will Trump make Poland great again by signing a
deal for them to give USA 99,9999999% of earth minerals and instituting 2137% tarrifs on all countries except the US?

11. Acid Rain: Russia. Note that by repairing and replacing blackboats, which represents diplomatic pressure, United States
and UK can prevent them from drowning Polish sky with rockets.

12. White Nova: Catholic church. Most of their troops are around popular pilgrim destinations around Poland. Their starting
base is in Tarnów, "The most religious city in Poland"

This is insanely cool.
If only we had a world where AW campaigns were like the AoE scenarios.

2.0 update

- New faction: Azure Asteroid: Kraków. For over 20 years, Jacek Majchrowski held the position of a politically independent
president of Kraków. With the chaos of the civil war, the people of Kraków once again turned towards him seeking some
semblance of stability, and he answered. Due to his connections, he enjoys the support of Jagiellonian University, the oldest
university in Poland, as well as of a humanitarian mission sent from Austria.
- Additional Orange Star units, representing scouts of ZHP, making northwest of the map slightly less boring at the start than
it previously was
- Reworked Białystok area, in order to give Green Earth and Black Hole a realistic chance of estabilishing themselves there.
- Added Mujahideen, elite muslim volunteers who can arrive to Poland in response to a worrying amount of Catholic violence
against other religions- or to estabilish a Caliphate, who knows really
- Hungarian volunteer division (A medium tank) arrives to Poland, seeking to aid the Konfederacja
- Added a single unlockable rocket for the US. Have fun
- Changed the amount of offmap Blue Moon properties. Previously, they had one more than Orange Star, to reflect a
percentage of population supporting either party. However, their control over on-map properties already reflected their
dominant support in cities, so to reflect PiS having a stranglehold over rural areas they now have 2 more offmap properties.
- Reworked the "control over military" mechanic, now the Polish army has a chance of remaining independent by beating the
ruling parties' influence and estabilishing a junta. Also, them quitting instead of having their HQ capped now won't prevent OS
or BM from capturing their comtower.
- Russia now has ship access to the Baltic Sea
