There's not much "distant future" about CivArmy's work habits, I wouldn't worry!
On losing the "n" in German names, might one reason for that be the fact that English is from the Low German linguistic family? I do notice the Dutch speaking people around here (Flanders) tend to drop the "n"s off the ends a lot of their words, even though the spelling clearly indicates them. For instance, "Mechelen" is often pronounced "Mechel-uh" (and pronounce that "uh" like an American, eh
). This is only speculation, but perhaps that's why us silly Anglophones say "Hesse" instead of the High German "Hessen"??? (By looking at my dialect map, folk in Hessen speak Rheinfränkisch, a Western Middle German dialect. Kassel seems to be at the lower limit of Low German, and, apparently, Middle German is considered Hochdeutsch. Plus, the best standard German is spoken in and around Hameln and Frankenberg, so my guess is that Hessians don't drop their "n"s!

We're gonna get a unit done by two of the best unit creators in CFC!!!
Anyway, I like it already now. The other eras are very nice, I just don't like the modern one. The idea of using that reference was quite good, but it's mainly the hair that makes him look like Hitler. And maybe his angry expression, but that will look different when animated.
