Lol, no need to be so salty. I guess a quote from one of the developers saying “Germany” is essentially Austria amounts to nothing.
Saying the “Germans” = Austria is also not excluding the HRE. The leaders of Austria were Holy Roman Emperors so the two entities are intertwined. My point is that nothing beyond a few superficial elements is Prussian and there could easily be room for Prussia as a civ while leaving “Germany” largely unaltered. With Prussia, you could get a unique European civ that’s not actually a “euro-civ”. There’s also an unbelievable amount of scenarios, historical battles, and campaigns that would be made possible by the inclusion of both Prussia and Austria. A vague, amorphous HRE-Germany doesn’t have anywhere near that potential.
Uhlans developed in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Unlike Galicia and Danzig, Silesia was under German control that entire time.
If they were going for the HRE exclusively there would not be so many units from non-German ethnicities. The fact that it’s a mix of Germans, Poles, and Bohemians points to a multi-ethnic empire; à la Austrian Empire. All of the unique cards and references (Battle of Vienna, Catholic generals, etc) are Austrian or southern German. Northern German cultural reference is entirely absent. It is pretty clear that current Germany is supposed to represent an Austrian dominated HRE and could easily be split into Austria and Prussia.
