Polanie is a historical real-time strategy video game developed by MDF and published by USER for DOS and Microsoft Windows in 1996.
The game offered 25 missions, based around the plot of fictional Polan tribal leader Mirek, who returns from an expedition to his hometown only to find it in ruins.
[1] Polanie was designed by a team of several young Poles headed by Mirosław Dymek,[2][3] developed by MDF and released by Hurtownia Oprogramowania USER.
[4] When they were designing the game, Dymek and the developer team were students at the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków.
An enhanced edition in 1997 was released on CD-ROM, adding new missions (five new scenarios in addition to the one from the base game) and new units.
[7] An unofficial English mod called Slaves for the floppy disk version of the game was rumored to exist at one time.
[9] The plot of the game was also positively reviewed, and described as interesting, particular due to the fact some missions instead of regular build and conquer required the player to complete specific objectives, such as leading a cow to a sacrificial altar.
