Good day! Glad to be back home. Well anyways, was bored so I thought I may go ahead and send my thoughts on my favorite Civ3 race, you guessed it, the Germans!
"For all benevolence and hardships, for what of those hard working peasants, which grace themselves with the name of their Fatherland." -Albert Wessienheim
Well, to begine, lets take a historical look at the Germans, no offence to any! The Germans originated in the eastern half of the European landmass. Gene pools can be traced back to various barbarian clans located in the area. One of the Many was the vandals who in conjuction with other clans formed primitive states for which rule was divided into sects. The German people themselves are natural workers, considered by many one of the most productive citizenry of the world. Germany in the modern age has been known for its ability to reconstruct quickly, and be able to regenerate itself very fast after a problem has occured. This was most prevalent after WW2, where the main German cities after being devastated by allied bombing, the people were able to clean up, and build back the factories, schools, hospitals ect... in just a few years.
Now on to the game...
So, Germany is (in my opinion) the greatest civs of the game. Afer playing and winning numerous games with them on monarch difficulty, you would too start becoming attached with them. Though, playing with Germany has a bad side in that you do not get an early UU, which most people enjoy a lot. Also, it's two traits (scientific, militaristic) can also be a real advantage. The increased time in building barracks and libraries is valuable.
One thing that I really do not enjoy is no early age advantages with the Germans. Having real early UU like the Aztecs or Irouqois can really dampen your plans. But, their scientific attribute may have the advantage of getting one free tech per age. Also, the ability of getting cheaper libraries will increase a cities science 50%. Their militaristic advantage is perhaps the best. Giving you cheaper barracks (and coastal fortresses) is great in the early ages. Also, the more a chance that you can get veterans is also a beneficiary.
All in all, Germans are best when they reach their Industrial age. Those Panzers can really do the damage. With their 16 attack and 3 movement, you can really cut deep into enemy lines. Also, the Panzers are unmatched by any other civs tank, because with that 3 movement, you can easly make it to enemy cities much faster then they can to yours. The 16 attack is enough to uproot those fortified infantry. Also, they are effective at pilliging also.
So, Germans are a very unique and useful civ. They are capable of massive destruction in the industrial age and should be considered as a civ to play. Also, when playing against an A.I. German civ, be on the wary for tank formations, they cn really dish out some pain to your civ.
On a lighter note... it will be interesting to see how people fight and defende against other human players on PTW as Germans. COnsidering that with that 3 movement, there will be no real security from them. Well anyways, can't wait till' October 29, guess I'll make sure I am in the United States that week, they won't have it avaible in any other country till about a week later I think
.
Well, that is about what I think, please send any comments in, would love to hear them. Well anyways,, going to work on my WW3 map, i'll try and start making post as to how it is progressing. Bye now...
Here is something to think about...
