Polands culture shock

[German Economy]

I have been trying a campaign as poland and it says something about culture shock, which i dont understand at all.
What are the requirements for me to trigger that?

Poland's Culture Bomb is triggered by building either an Encampment district or by building a Fort inside of your territory via a Military Engineer. The Culture Bomb will steal all the adjacent tiles so long as they are within 3 tiles of the City Center that owns the tile you built the Encampment or Fort on. It will also not steal completed wonders or districts, but it will cancel any incomplete wonders or districts the opposing player might be building.

So i just steal their space if i build the encampment or fort if they are adjecant to my border?
The structures have to be right next to the other nations tiles in order for that to trigger, did i get that right?
So i can harass people by doing that repeatadly. Can i do that multiple times on the same nation or is it limited in that regard?

It will also steal unowned space of course.

As far as being limited, only in that with Encampments you can only build one per city. With forts, it should be much more of a matter where you can harass the neighbors.

Yes, it will also claim unclaimed tiles as well as long as the tiles are not further than 3 tiles from the City Center.

No limit. You can't claim tiles beyond 3 tiles from your City Center and you can only build one Encampment per city. Other than that, you can Culture Bomb as many times as you want.

It's a fine enough ability, but it really ends up being entirely situational. You can make some good use of it once you have military engineers that build forts, but overall it's going to be quite rare and difficult to get a city of your own close enough to enemy borders with enough space to plop an Encampment that will gobble up more than 1-2 tiles at a time.

I didnt ask how good it is but how i can actually use that :P
Sounds fun and kinda annoying to deal with having that as a neighbour

I understand, but for me a big part of how to use something is whether it's useful, so I decided to share how practical it ends up being.

Yea, i have not tried it yet but it does seem very situational. More of a "I build my village here and shove this pionier up your butt".
Would probably be an instant war declaration on human players as well, not sure how receiving AI is yet.

This ability is only really worth pursuing if you're going Warmonger Poland, as cities that get Culture-Bombed also immediately adopt your founded/majority religion, so if you're also running the Crusade belief, it's an easy way to get 10 free combat strength in the borders of that city.
