What will be the UU of Germany?

[zwei833]

According to the current theory that the German leader would be Emperor Frederick Barbarossa in this thread, let's guess the Unique Unit of Germany!

There is a chance(not a big chance though) Germany would have 2 UU in Civ6, so you an vote for 2 units.

I'd like to see U Boats. Not a popular choice though.

Seeing how Barbarossa is the leader it'll probably be something medieval. He was a crusader himself so Teutonic knight would make sense.

I doubt it as IMO Bararossa is a sucessful emperor but not a sucessful crusader leader
And it would be quite embarassed to chose a crusader unit as UU, as there is a chance that Germany believe Buddisum in game.

The RED BARON airplane should be in the game

Even if it's not going to be the Teutonic Knights I'm sure Barbarossa will get some knight UU. It just fits too well.

It's just that, Germany has sooooo many good choices for Industrial and Modern UUs, while a ton of other civs don't, but do have unique Medieval cavalry. I could see it being Barbarossa's own unique unit, and something else being Germany's if they're the last of the three civs with two UUs.

Oooh, didn't think about it, that'd be my pick as well.

Voted Teutonic Knights so I could crush them at the fields of Grunwald.

No more Panzer please!

I think that the inclussion of the Panzer as a UU is almost inevitable since there are a very limited number of civs with potential modern UUs.

That being said, I am betting that since Barbarossa will be the leader, he will have the Teutonic Order as a Unique Leader Unit. Rather than be focused in calvary, Teutonic knights would perhaps recieve bonuses regarding melee combat, faith conversion, and the building of outposts.

As for other unique UUs, I would really love to see the German U-Boat as a unique early naval unit since that was definitely a game changer (sorry Zeppelin, you were iconic, but ultimately useless) or the Paris Gun, the very first industrial era superweapon (!) or their smaller (and more useful) cousins, the Big Bertha cannons!

And if they want to open the WWII can of worms, there are a ton of UU to draw from: the Messerschmitt Bf 109 aircraft, motorbike anti tank units riding BMW R75, and much, much more.

TO is good. But why TO as a leader UU? It doesn't have any relevance with Bararossa. Even TO become the Civ UU would be more reasonable.

Actually Zeppelins weren't all that useless. They were somewhat effective for Reconnaissance and small Bombing Raids since they often flew higher than the range of most artillery of the period and it is especially unique in the fact that it would come much more earlier than most flying units in game.

Although I think it'll be the stormtrooper that will ultimately become that modern unique unit of Germany. They were all too iconic to leave out.

Well they could technically drop the panzer this time and give a modern UU or tank replacement to a Civ that never had a modern UU.
Russia is probably the easiest one since the T-34 or T-55 are both iconic/famous enough to be UUs.
France would also be a possibility with a Renault FT-17 as a tank replacement.

But I have a feeling that the Panzer will make a return. I mean Egypt still has the chariot, Japan still has the samurai, Spain still has the conquistador and so I doubt Germany will lose the Panzer.
