Prussia

**Prussia** is a German state located in parts of modern day Germany and Poland. it is a former member and one of the successor states of the Holy Roman Empire.

## General Information

The lands of Prussia was home too the German knights of the Teutonic order a very powerful order of knights who ruled the lands for many years, this would not last long however as they were defeated by the Polish and turned into a vassal in 1525 only being released in 1660. despite being freed. their lands in Brandenburg were still a part of the Holy Roman Empire.

Despite all these setbacks. Prussia has gain prominence all across Europe for their highly militaristic doctrine. often being said to be an army with a state. Prussia was never meant to be a European power yet it achieved it anyways. their armies are relatively small compared too other European powers but they are of Highest quality and discipline. however due too poor leadership and contradicting decisions. The Prussian armies effectiveness was severely weakened.

Prussia had just recently seized land from Poland and planned to gain even more recognition from all over Europe, so when France declared war on their Austrian allies. Prussia, along with other Holy Roman Empire states. joined the war. the war however ended in a French victory and the Prussian army were humiliated.

The year is now 1798 and with a second coalition being formed against the French. Prussia is in turmoil over if they should join the war or not and gain the recognition their army lost in the first war. (Of course in 1798 they never joined the war of the 2nd coalition but this game needs balancing and put a "few" historical inaccuracies)

## Specialty (Mostly conquest)

Prussia's strength lies in its land armies which despite being small. are usually of high quality. often boasting powerful units in the battlefield. this is also helped by the Prussians vast array of experienced generals for Cavalry, Infantry, and Artillery, although no prominent generals for its Navy which is also hindered at usually only 1 ship. Prussia's cavalry is its greatest strength as it boasts the famed Death's Head Hussar a very potent and effective cavalry unit special too Prussia as well as the extremely powerful and bulky Krupp Cannon. Prussia also owns one of, if not best Cavalry general in the game, Blucher who is a premium general requiring In-game purchases too unlock him by default. Prussia also holds claim too one of the best Infantry and Artillery generals in the game, Bismarck and Moltke. as well as other powerful generals such as Roon and Scharnhorst.

With great power comes great fee's. as Prussia has the downside of having a relatively weak economy and industry as well as population. these factors disables Prussia's production of strong units, often limiting them too a few numbers as well as forcing Prussia too purchase weaker units.

Prussia is also geographically weak. its capital Berlin is a prime target for the French in the west and the Danes in the north. as well as having Poland too its east. despite usually being overrun and defeated in a short period. Poland usually distracts Prussia long enough for its Western allies too overrun the country.
