Part 2: Let's Play Civilization 5, Brave New World, Germany Immortal - "Hamburg, best city"
Germany is a civilization that focuses on gold, production and military. If you are good at actively hunting barbarian encampments, you can grab many free units in the early-game due to their civilization bonus, although this is slightly luck-based. It can be scary if you recruit too many barbarians, as the maintenance cost can quickly overwhelm you and ruin your economy. Their unique building the hanse promotes trading with city-states and can really boost the production of your cities if used right, though embargoing city-states is an effective way to easily shut Germany down. Their panzer might not sound amazing on paper, but tanks with +1 movement can be used to take your opponent off-guard, in essence they are pretty good at pillaging due to their speed, relying on enemy improvements to stay alive. Germany is a civilization that should first focus on building a solid economy, and then a large army.
