Hey guys. So, Germany has a very interesting kit, they are ovbiously focused on Diplomacy and at first glance they would work very well with Tradition and Progress.
Tradition benefits thanks to the extra yields in the Capital and GAP from the UA
Progress benefits thanks to the Hanse, the amazing UB of Germany.
Now, the brutal synergy between the Hanse and Progress is one that at the same time is ideal for a Diplo Game. As IMO a Diplo Victory is easier if you are an economic super power and have a ridiculous amount of hammers, this can be achieved easily with Progress/Statecraft/Industry combo.
On the other hand, Tradition will benefit more from the UA, making your Capital truly terrific, giving you an edge early on and the Hanse will help you to have a nice economy and a very up to date sattelite cities. (You won't need a super economy since you are playing tall, but you might get it anyways)
For Ideologies I think Freedom is the default for a Diplo Victory even if you go Wide, I would like to know your thoughts about this too btw.
How do you play as Germany?, Which policy is the most efficient for them generally speaking?.
