MTW Holy Roman Empire

Introduction

The Germans (faction colour black), who represent the Holy Roman Empire, are a large Catholic faction. They have access to some unique and special units, including the supremely heavy Gothic Knights (which they share with the Italians). Unlike the other faction leaders, the Holy Roman Emperor is elected, which can be useful — usually the death of an heir-less leader spells disaster, but the Germans simply elect a new one. However, local lords have little loyalty to the Emperor, so civil war is more likely. Their special crusade unit are the Teutonic Knights.
