If you play against the Teuton AI in game, it’ll pick HRE emperors as its player name… in the in game campaign, you’re playing as one of the HRE emperors. In many of the campaigns, when your opponent is the HRE, they are represented by the Teutons. Teutons probably make more sense than calling a civ the HRE, because you can also use the word Teutons to represent smaller factions within the HRE.
Indeed! That’s why it would be nice to actually split this civ!
Who was born in a Germanic part of the empire, as were probably most of the others
The announcement said “A new expansion focusing of Eastern Europe”
SotL later said we’re getting 2 new civs.
He said “assuming we get 2 new civs like the last DLC”
And people are taking this as confirmation of 2 civs. Maybe I misheard it, but that’s what I thought I heard
Adam Isgreen confirmed new civs at 32m55s:
Ik, but he didn’t specify how many
Yes, that’s true. I expect 2 but maybe we’ll get 3 to get to 40. Thing is, I would know how to design an expansion pack with 3 civs in terms of architecture distribution, especially with a limited theme like Dawn of the Dukes.
1 Germanic, 1 Eastern European and the other? Maybe 2 with a new architecture and a third one with a already existing one, but why not actually do 4 then like “The African Kingdoms”.
