German (Civ2)

The German civilization (Germans) is a default civilization in Civilization II.

Color

The Germans are a blue civilization. A game including the Germans will not also involve the French or Vikings.

Leaders

Main article: Leaders (Civ2)

The default male leader of the Germans is Frederick. Frederick II (1194–1250) was a Hohenstaufen king of Sicily, Germany, Burgundy, Italy, and Jerusalem and emperor of the Romans. He was an effective ruler and patron of the arts, but his disagreements with the papacy eventually doomed his empire.

The default female leader is Maria Theresa (1717–1780), Habsburg empress of Austria. Her archrival was Frederick II, king of Prussia, who expanded his empire and influence at Austria's expense.

German leaders use the default titles except under fundamentalism and democracy. A German high priest or priestess, like a French or Spanish one, is known as an "archbishop". A German president is known as a "chancellor".

Personality

The German AI is aggressive but perfectionist and civilized.
