I've been playing Germans for more than 2 years now, it's pretty much the only civ i play. but when i switch to another civ, i'm frustrated at the fact that they are so much better than Germans. Namely at aging and getting resources a lot faster. I can age with the Germans on average about 7 minutes into the game, with other civs i can do it at 3 to 4 minutes.
Now to the topic.
Germans don't have any civ bonuses. You pay for Uhlans with slower HC shipments, and the Settler Wagon isn't a bonus at all ( they are 2 settlers in 1) Now if the Settller Wagon was 1 pop, they would be a bonus. Afterall, your only able to get 20 Settler Wagons, and with Germanys pop problems, you'll never see that happening.
Make Settler Wagons 1 pop (20 extra pop space) which will help it's pop problems and make SW's a bonus.
Fix Uhlans, don't make us pay for a supposed bonus (slow shipments). Germany is by far, the worst raiding civ, and by the time you age up and get Uhlans (slow economy), they already have an army coming to destroy your town.
War Wagons get destroyed way too easily by ranged units.
Germany a merc civ? 2 extra mercs per (slow) shipment isn't going to cut it.
