Germany is a relatively young political entity, formed from the unification of the various Germanic tribes that lived in Europe, though its influence on history is quite significant. It is led by Otto von Bismark, the chancellor that unified Germany. The German civilization is one with a focus on war, with the ability to field a huge army during the early game. Their Unique Units help them assert superiority during the middle to late game.
