Warsaw is a town of the Polish Commonwealth, serving as the faction's "capital" as it is initially ruled by King Jan Kasimir. At the start of the game, Warsaw is very poor and has nothing in its town centre.
It has the villages Plotsk, Staronowice, Radzilow and Ostroleka.

In a siege: |
Warsaw's brick walls make it stand out among other Polish fortifications. The entrance to the Lord's Hall is in the middle of the street that the player arrives on, on the edge of the accessible area.
During a siege, five ladders are placed on the right of the gates. If the player looks to the left of the gates, there will be an unused sixth ladder on the ground.

Trivia[]
- Warsaw became the Commonwealth's capital when King Sigismund III Vasa moved his court from Kraków to Warsaw in 1596, due to the latter's central location between Kraków, the capital of Poland, and Vilna, the Lithuanian capital. Since then, Warsaw has served as the de facto capital of the Kingdom of Poland. Officially, however, Kraków was still named capital of the Kingdom of Poland until 1793.
- Few of Warsaw's iconic structures are featured in-game, and are instead replaced with generic structures, such as homes and shops.
- During the 17th century, the city was besieged and fell to various foreign armies, such as the Swedes and Transylvanians.
