Re: Middle Ages: Interactive
Gar... I just bolded the "e" for emphasis because it wasn't present the first time. It's just Comrade Alexeo - sorry about the confusion!
As for the HRE military: From some quick researching now and my own idle studying of it before, I know that the HRE essentially had similar armies to the rest of Europe, although as a rule they were "heavier" - that is to say, their formations were larger, they wore more armor (some of the best in Europe), and used somewhat larger horses. As the Kaiser is an elected man, this means that while some of his more ambitious deputies may be somewhat disloyal, the typical German soldier is fiercely loyal (if only because of a sense of German proto-nationalism). More bureaucratic compared to other European states, HRE armies can be slow to assemble but are usually in better shape when they do.
