Battle for Europe 1900 v0.10 - Germany

Germany is the focus of this week's build. There are changes to territories, factories and divsisions they start the game with. Additional ports have also been added to the Baltic sea node.

• Mainz territory renamed to Strasbourg

Developer Comments: A cosmetic change to emphasise that Alsace-Lorraine is in the hands of the Germans at the start of the game. This was the result of the Franco-Prussian War of 1871 which united Germany.

• Strasbourg territory has been divided into Strasbourg and Cologne.

Developer Comments: The addition of the landlocked territory of Cologne gives Germany more room to expand it's factory count. Key to the story of Germany at this time was its rapid industrialisation, and this theme will continue to be emphasised going forward.

• Berlin territory has been dividied into Berlin, Stettin and Rostock.

Developer Comments: Berlin becomes a landlocked territory with both Stettin and Rostock having ports in the Baltic sea node. These territories give Germany the opportunity to rapidly expand its economy at the start of the game.
