## **Background**

He is a monster infected drawn as a vertical black-white-red rectangle (hence its name) not to be mistaken for the ball-shaped Second Reich.
He is a mysterious and unpredictable entity. Its actual intentions are unknown. It is usually shown as sadistic and aggressive. Some works depict it as a bloodthirsty berserk version of Germany that seeks to destroy every single country standing in its way, while in others, it just tries to befriend  Poland but does it the wrong way. It also seems to like hanging out with Omsk Bird. It spreads influence on other countryballs, as the may also sometimes change into a tangle, with the most often being the EU (Merkelreich) or the  Russian Empire (Rustangle). But despite this, he is a patriot, serving his country.
Reichtangle's true origin is unknown, though it's assumed to be Germany's descendant or its alternate universe counterpart.
Sometimes Germany hallucinates Reichtangle when looking into the mirror, so it was rumored that it might be the Nazi Germany hiding inside its son.
Germany is also seen transforming into Fourth Reich and going on rampage on some occasions, like getting angry with its former enemies. It is theorized that a part of him lives inside the European Union.
The EU version of Reichtangle is often called Merkelreich. or the 4th Reich.

## **Unlocking Reichtangle**

To unlock Reichtangle, the player must complete Reichtangle campaign on Hard difficulty or higher. As for how to beat Reichtangle, it will save you time if you select Hard Difficulty (unless you’re brave enough to play on Nightmare). It is very preferable to play as Great Britain for the run. Before attacking Reichtangle, take all garrison from your territories and advance into battle, specifically the Netherlands and then Belgium. Make sure Russia and France are invited into these battles. Once the territories are captured, expand east. Never south, since the French will not get territory and then decline invitations to battle. Advance east against the Reichtangle, continuing the same strategy. Make sure you are actively upgrading your countryball. Once you’v reached 2000 cash, enter a shop and buy either Grandpa’s Rifle or Pirate Sword, upgrading mana to either 60 or 80 (depends on which one you choose). If your allies are in a pinch, make sure to defend some of their territories so that they can continue fighting and Reichtangle can be weakened from losing too much battles. Buy troops from various places with cash, such as Anti Tanks, Defenders, or Standards. If you are still able to, make sure to defend important territories such as liberated seaports and Belgium. Once Reichtangle has been surrounded by Russia and the player, advance to Berlin and capture it, it will be a big loss for Reichtangle. Continue attacking territories until Reichtangle is no longer visible on the map or until it surrenders to a puppet state. And you, have now unlocked Reichtangle!

## **- BananaMaster24****Winning as Reichtangle**

Since completing a game as Reichtangle can be used in 4 difficulties, whereas unlocking Reichtangle requires 2 difficulties to unlock. Because of this, the guide will be used specifically for completing the game as Reichtangle on Hard difficulty.

Lets go. What you are going to want to do during the first few turns, DO NOT take troops that are defending the east and west fronts, only troops defending Berlin. As far as how many troops to take, do not take all, but enough to help you teach the Entente a lesson. Expand the Fourth Reich west by attacking France. Do this quickest way possible, quickly stealing Paris out the French. Once the Triple Entente has been sent packing, start going east toward Russian Empire and take Warsaw. Continue to actively upgrade your Reichtangle. Equip “Musket” as quick as possible. Continue to advance. When territories are under attack, fend off any attackers, continue east into Russian Empire, and then North toward Saint Petersburg. With lots of money in storage, it will be best to purchase Pirate Sword and mana over 60, as Reichtangle starts the game with 50 mana, it can be upgraded 4 times for a Pirate Sword. Once St. Petersburg is captured, start to move west again to take down France. Make sure all of France’s eastern borders are German. Take every troop surrounding eastern front and then place them on those territories that were formerly French border. Soon, due to rapid victories in battles and upgrades, Reichtangle is very powerful. Make sure you prioritize to upgrade mana long term to unlock the Laser Gun. Continue attacking France until an expected Surrender. Do not attack Great Britain as London and other seaports are surrounded, instead go after Russian Empire. Soon, when France surrenders (or becomes anschlussed), attack Russian Empire and go south from Saint Petersburg. Eventually, you’ve been able to demolish both the French and Russians, either turning them into puppets or anschlussing them. Now, attack London and advance
