The civilizational abilities of the Germans are the Free Imperial Cities, which allows their cities to build another area outside the ordinary population. Their unique unit is the U-Boat (which replaces the submarine) and their unique Hansa area (which replaces the industrial zone). The contents of StrategyEdit Germany's show is an extremely versatile civilization that can pursue any condition of victory it wants, but is best suited for winning science or domination. The ability of the Holy Roman Emperor is very useful at the beginning of the game because you can focus solely on the military. You can simply conquer and absorb any nearby city-states to expand your empire, and you don't have to worry about barbarians or other civilizations declaring war, as you will be able to raise a decent army without having to waste turns of the settlers' production. Free imperial city ability also makes it so that you can create an industrial city with only 1 Population. It is very convenient when you need to settle the city in an area with very little food. When creating new cities, be sure to make them in pairs so that you can place your Hansas and commercial hubs in a diamond position - place two commercial hubs next to each other with one tile between them and then place Hansas between them adjacent to each other to get a huge production bonus. You can use the army you made at the beginning of the game to defend against attacks while creating these areas, and having a few of them will give you a very strong economy and a large amount of products that you can use to build campuses and cosmodromes or stop the army that you can use for world domination. By absorbing city- states into your empire, you can save Toronto/Mexico City. Their suzerain bonus makes it so the bonuses of your plants reach further, which means that your cities will get production from Hansa within 9 tiles. Please note that Factory bonuses no longer add up after the fall 2017 update. If Pericles are in your game, you should have little trouble keeping him in check - instead of competing with him for messengers, you can just assimilate any city-state he befriends, which will deny him a culture bonus, not It. Civilopedia entry Edit was Not Germany - not until 1870 AD, when Bismarck convinced various bits that the benefit of one outweighed the good of many. Julius Caesar is the first known who used the term Germany to refer to those land across the Rhine from peaceful Gaul. Geographically, Germany stretched from the Rhine to Vistula, from the Baltic to the Danube. As Caesar noted, the Gauls were belligerent, but could be civilized; Teuthony, on the other hand, was too wild and uncouth for nothing but conquest. Perhaps he was right; with the collapse of the Roman Empire, all these uncouth tribes became separate and independent gents and ants. Nothing united them to maintain a common language (although, given the dialects, some were virtually incomprehensible to other Germans), common customs, and the common legacy of killing each other. It was left to Charlemagne, who was crowned Emperor in the West by Pope Leo III in December 800, to (briefly) unite them. But it was the coronation of Duke Otto I in 936 as Rex Teutonicorum (King of the Germans), and later, on the principle of translatio imperii, proclaimed by Pope John XII emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, sealed the deal. This is after two, after much bargaining, signed the Diploma of Ottoniam, in which the Pope was recognized as the spiritual head of the Catholic Church - so the prelates could not simply interpret the Scriptures as they were tanning - with the German king-emperor as their secular protector. Otto spent the rest of his life trying to appease the Stam Duchist (five powerful, autonomous, constituent duchys of Germany: Franconia, Bavaria, Lotharitia, Saxony and Swabia), battling the French and Magyars, Italians and Slavs, putting down various uprisings, and generally not enjoying life much. The succession of emperors after Otto was a royal mess, a complex stew of ever-changing factors. The kings of Germany were elected a family of princely electors (three archbishops and four secular German princes) established by the Golden Bull of 1356; indeed, it took 400 years to get the Germans to agree to it. Before that, Rex Teutonicorum's election resembled polite anarchy. Thanks to the Thirty Years' War, another voter was added to maintain a balance between Protestants and Catholics; in 1692 another one was added so that these unfortunate dead ends would not happen. Then, shortly before Napoleon paid everything, the constitutional structure of the electorate was revised in 1803. After Rex was elected as emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, it was only a formality held by those who were sitting in Peter's pulpit at the time. Otto the Great was followed by a long line of kings-emperors: Saxon, Salian, Hohenstaufen, Welf, Luxembourg, Wittelsbach and many Habsburgs who simply did not want to give up. Some of them were great and glorious, such as Henry IV and Friedrich Barbarossa; some of them were corrupt and vainglorious, such as Otto IV and Louis IV. Whatever their abilities and politics, each of them had to deal with all these hundreds of little little ones everyone is jealous of their own power and privilege. And it wasn't as if the mixture was stable. Around 1040, Franconia was fragmented into smaller formations: the city-state of Frankfurt, the prince-bishopric of Mainz, Speyer and Hearts, as well as the land of Hesse, as well as other bits. In the 1200s, the Teutonic Knights carved Prussia to the east to add to the party; The Czech Republic, Silesia and Pomerania were captured from the Slavs by ambitious German nobles. And so on. However, Germany was relatively peaceful and, more importantly, prosperous. This is partly due to the rise of the Hanseatic League, the business alliance of ports and banking guilds that dominated trade in the Baltics and along the North Sea coast. Wood, fur, grain, ore and fish flowed westward, and finished goods flowed to the east. In the center of the Imperial Free City (by decree of Emperor Frederick II in 1226) Lubeck, the League, firmly established in cities such as Cologne, Bremen and Hamburg, had warehouses and offices in ports located far apart, as London and Novgorod. It flourished from the 1200s to the 1500s. Across Germany, ordinary people had the highest standard of living in Europe during this period. And there were more and more of them; despite the wars and plague, by 1500 there were between five and six million people living there, many of whom had become artisans and merchants, which were now organized by the guild (some of which allowed women to join them). Meanwhile, with the growth of cities and ready-made money at hand, art flourished. In the 12th century, Abbot Hildegard von Bingen wrote influential theological and medical texts, as well as liturgical poems, songs and the oldest European piece of morality. A century later, von der Vogelweid set the gold standard for The European Lyrical Poetry of the time. Then a master named Johannes Gutenberg from Mainz developed a bereaved type of metal, and therefore a printing press. After these ordinary people could read and speculate that their ads were better, things changed. (It will take several centuries for universal literacy to catch on in Germany, but it has led to things like the Reformation, the Northern Renaissance, and the Scientific Revolution.) In Germany, things progressed well until Martin Luther translated the Bible into the local language (now anyone could buy it with a printing press), and then nailed his Ninety-Five Silent About the Power and Effectiveness of Indulgences to the door of All Saints Church in Wittenberg in October 1517. His Protestant theology soon enough began a peasant war (Europe's largest popular uprising before the French Revolution), and then an even bloodier Thirty-year war after the Augsburg peace of 1555, which resulted in the Lutheran faith being recognized as legitimate, and that the region's belief that its ruler - collapsed. 1618 to 1648 armies and mercenaries mercenaries The League and the Protestant Union killed non-believers with wild denials. It was estimated that Germany's population declined between 20% and 38% before the religious fever burned itself. The towering figure of Martin Luther is ironically numbered in the annals of the German Renaissance, along with artists such as Albrecht Durer and scholars such as Johann Reuchlin and musicians such as Pachelbel. This includes many famous architects like Elias Hall and Hans Krumpper. But even more influential on civilization were the German scientists of the 1600s and 1700s, who laid the foundation for discoveries, understanding and misuse of sciences, are unparalleled elsewhere (there is a reason why one of the most famous, though fictional, scientists is known to Dr. Frankenstein, who studies at the University of Ingolstadt). Johannes Kepler of Stuttgart revolutionized cosmology; Polymath von Liebnitz developed calculus and founded the Prussian Academy of Sciences in 1700; the philosopher Immanuil Kant sought a scientific basis for ethics.
