Suddenly this idea simply crossed through my mind.... It does strike me as cool enough to imagine the Poles more west-oriented.... :cool:

I'll be straight to the obstacles that need to be dealt with for realizing this idea. Germans, even the ones the Poles immediately neighboring with (northeast Germans), were more densely populous and indeed formidable. I simply see no window for this idea to be realized without severely destabilizing Northeast Germany so as to provide the Poles the opportunity to enter. My idea is to have Mongols do it. But to have them overrunning Poland may result in Poland severely crippled and can even resulted to the opposite of my aim here (and by no means Polonization. Got it, Susano ??). I wonder if the face of a more pressuring Mongols, the Poles would instead to eventually choose to submit peacefully, and then give the Mongols a free passage to advance further into Europe, entering the HRE... It doesn't seem like this would do good for Poland's reputation in Europe later though....

Or is there any other way to make this happen with PoD no earlier than 1000 ? And will this result a reduction of HRE's territory or simply a Poland that is involved in HRE's internal affairs ? Seems like the later to me though....

Thoughts ?
