Ok just to start discussion in this forum I decided to come up with a question... which of the 8 european civs has the best fortress gameplay?

Opinions are welcome.

Here's some facts to draw from about each civ:


Spain

- Increased shipment rate helps to spam the powerful fortress age shipments
- 3 autovet units introduced in fortress, all of which are useful
- 1 unique unit introduced in fortress (lancer)

Ottomans

- Usually will age with trading posts up to increase shipment rate
- Cheap economy
- 1 autovet unit introduced in fortress (excluding spahi), which sucks anyways (cav archer)
- 1 unique unit introduced in fortress (spahi)
- Great mercs (manchu, spahi, mameluke)

Russia

- Good economy build, cheap units
- 3 autovet units introduced in fortress, two of which are useless (cav archer, halberdier)
- 1 unique unit introduced in fortress (oprichinik)
- Decent mercs (highlander, manchu)
- Great unique church ability (westernization and 9 kalmucks)

Germany

- Pretty good economy
- 3 free uhlans or 2-3 free mercs with every shipment in fortress
- 2 autovet units introduced in fortress
- 1 unique unit introduced in fortress (War Wagon)
- Good and enhanced merc shipments (black riders, hackapells, jaegers)

France

- Great economy
- 4 autovet units intoduced in fortress
- 1 unique unit introduced in fortress (cuirassier)

British

- Great economy
- 1 autovet unit introduced in fortress (dragoon)
- 0 unique units introduced in fortress
- Pretty bad military shipments
- Good unique church

Dutch

- Great economy
- 3 autovet units in fortress
- 1 unique unit introduced in fortress (ruyters)
- Great unique church (bank limit increase trade off, 5 waardelgers)

Ports

- Ability to set up a 3 tc boom faster than any other civ
- 3 autovet units in fortress
- 2 unique units in fortress
- Epic mercs (mamelukes, ronin)
- Good unique church

If one civ is obviously top, (which IMO one is) then which is 2nd 3rd 4th etc...
