=== Personality and Behavior ===
Bismarck will usually try for either a scientific victory or a domination victory.
Bismarck will focus on , , and raising an exceptionally well-trained army consisting primarily of mobile units. He will take a balanced approach on offensive and defensive combats as well.
Bismarck prefers to protect any city-states that he does not try to conquer. Attempting to befriend one of his city-state allies is likely to result in a diplomacy penalty.
Bismarck is loyal and often friendly, but he is also highly competitive and very willing to denounce and declare war on players who anger him, especially if he sees them as warmongers. Be watchful when you try to befriend him.
Bismarck has a tendency to expand and claim every spot of land left on the map once Ideologies come around, especially after adopting Order. Combined with his focus on and military, this gives him real potential to become a runaway if left unchecked.

== Trivia ==
* Bismarck is remembered for the following quotes:

** "Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made."
** "One day the great European War will come out of some damned foolish thing in the Balkans."
** "We Germans fear God and nothing else in the world." ("Wir Deutschen fürchten Gott, sonst nichts in der Welt.")
* Approximately 250 monuments ("Bismarck Towers") have been erected in his honor on four continents - Oceania, South America, Africa, and Europe.

== Intro ==
Hail mighty Bismarck, first chancellor of Germany and her empire! Germany is an upstart nation, fashioned from the ruins of the Holy Roman Empire and finally unified in 1871, a little more than a century ago. The German people have proven themselves to be creative, industrious and ferocious warriors. Despite enduring great catastrophe in the first half of the 20th century, Germany remains a worldwide economic, artistic and technological leader.
Great Prince Bismarck, the German people look to you to lead them to greater days of glory. Their determination is strong and they turn to you, their beloved iron chancellor, to guide them once more. Will you rule and conquer through blood and iron, or foster the Germanic arts and industry? Can you build a civilization that will stand the test of time?
