Poland is orthodox?

Um... I was just messing around with those game-end waves and I found out that Poles' game-end is narrated by that orthodox narrator. I'm not sure if it's a mistake or what, I'm just wondering.

Poland is about 95 % catholic ,with a small orthodox minority.

Perhaps because Poland is one of the few Catholic factions that can't crusade.

Historically speaking,i think Poland participate in a crusade (1444) nad defeated at Varna by the Turks.

I'm not really complaining about Poland's inability to crusade, it's just that I'm wondering whether or not the programmer intended Poland to be orthodox. Most provinces aren't 100% catholic or whatever, but as far as the game is concerned, the reason a faction has an orthodox (or other) narration is because that particular faction "belongs" to a particular culture.

Maybe there's a convert type of GA for Poland. Well, I don't know. This is my first time playing as the Poles.

I think that the developers switched Poland's faith somewhere during development. The Poles still get a reduction for Orthodox bishops which they can't build, so this does indicate they were Orthodox once. There is no such things as "national conversion" in M:TW, with the exception of the Viking faction in VI, so it isn't a GA goal.

I wonder what Poland's faith was in Medieval times?
