Equipment is not just things that kill. Soldiers need more than things that kill to survive. Things that they can be more easily supplied with if their governments have colonial empires.

But we are arguing for an increase before the first update is released. So.. like, a revision. An increase to the starting stats. We know they have a lot of resources because they have colonial empires. The same way you are arguing we should know Prussia has good equipment because we know they have the needle gun. What I am saying is, sure, maybe we should give a slight equip. increase to Prussia. But because we know for a fact the UK and France have more resources, Prussia's equipment rating should still be lower than theirs.

If that thing about Austria's population being low is true, I wouldn't mind an increase too (for pop.). I looked it up but couldn't find anything, except that the Austrian Empire's population in 1800 was about 20 million.I didn't continue the argument on Prussia's equipment level yesterday because I was afraid we'd flood the thread with it and get ban-hammered for it - but I did some research and am more willing to support a slight increase. I don't think Prussia's equipment should be the highest, or even second best. But maybe a slight increase might be acceptable. I do still believe equipment goes beyond just a good rifle, and I have more reason to believe the UK and France are more able to better equip their soldiers with all the necessities (ie: not just rifles) than Prussia. They simply have more resources to do it with.
