Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition - The Golden Centuries - European DLC propose

Changes in old civs

Germans

I propose renaming the Germans civ to Holy Roman Empire (such a name should not shock anyone after adding United States civ). This Civ is the best in representing all the small states that make up the HRE, which were very important in the history of Europe and also very rich.
Changelog for this civ:

  • Renaming from the Germans to the Holy Roman Empire
  • Home City change from Berlin to Frankfurt, Aachen, Nuremberg or Prague
  • Change of ruler from Frederick the Great to Charles of Luxembourg
  • The Uhlan with the addition of Poles, Austrians and Prussia would cease to be a Unique Unit but simply a replacement for the Hussar. So HRE civ will keep any bonuses and Cards associated with that unit. The new UU for the HRE civ would be the Saxon Infantry and Trebuchet - available to trainable after selecting the appropriate HRE State as Age Up
  • Unique Age up mechanic: HRE State (modeled on unique Age Up mechanics for African civs - Alliance. Choosing one of the HRE State affects Units, Mechanics and Home City Cards for Prussians civ). An example of the HRE State jackpot to choose from during Age Up:
  1. Austria & Switzerland
  2. Bavaria & Swabia
  3. Bohemia & Silesia
  4. Brandenburg & Pomerania
  5. Hanza & Westphalia
  6. Hesse & Thuringia
  7. Low Countries & Burgundy
  8. Saxony & Lusatia
  • Doppelsoldner and Skirmisher - Royal Guard
  • Relocation of some Home City Cards to Prussia and Austria-Hungary civs. They would be replaced with others - similar.
  • Updating the descriptions of this civ
  • One of the five Wonders to choose

Ottomans

Leave room for someone who knows the Ottoman civilization well. The changes should match those I have proposed for Germans civ.
