The diversity in civ choices is poor

Normandy and France.
Also Burgundy. And hey it’s just 1 war. The only time English even set foot on the European mainland.
During that time the French were also involved in wars with the Holy Roman Empire for example.

It’s hard to argue which war was how important.
If you hear about the 100 years war or Joan of Arc a lot in history class and media than you might think it’s important.
But than again, in our German history education we didn’t cover that at all and there aren’t movies or books written about it even though France is our neighbouring country. I learned about it though AoE2.

I didn’t say civilisations should just be chosen because of their importance.
They should also show some diversity.
England and the HRE are directly neighbouring France.
I think that’s a little much on one space when you only have 8 civilisations. One would have been enough.
So if choosing one Western European civilisation I would definitely not have chosen the English.

I would have said France but apparently the HRE is the most popular civilisation in the game atm.
