Bohemia under Wallenstein is a heavily military and Gold-focused civ whose truest opportunity for advancement arrives in the renaissance era with the unlocking of both unique units. If he is able to achieve a strong Gold income by the unlocking of Gunpowder, Wallenstein can leap upon the world stage with an army as large as he can afford. His policy of war contributions gains extra Gold from conquered cities at the cost of their Growth, both of which can be an advantage to a wide empire that may want to avoid the extra unhappiness generated from populous puppet cities.

UA - Bellum se ipsum alet:

Purchased melee units plunder Gold when attacking cities and can pillage without spending movement points. Puppeted and occupied cities have -30% Growth, +50% Gold per turn while at war with a landed empire.

UU - Black Rider:

Unique Bohemian Cavalry. Weaker and costs less Production than Cavalry, but available with Gunpowder. Can move after being purchased.

UU - Mercenary:

Alternate Musketman which does not replace any unit. May not be produced with production, and only Bohemia may purchase it. 50% Gold cost reduction, can only be purchased. Can move after being purchased.

Thanks to JFD for lua references, Zwei833 for unit art, and Wikipedia for the fluff. Special thanks for the peace music to Krystof Harant, a Czech composer who was captured by Wallenstein and executed in 1620.

Albrecht Wenzel Eusebius von Wallenstein, also von Waldstein (Czech: Albrecht Vaclav Eusebius z Valdstejna), was born in the Kingdom of Bohemia into a poor Protestant noble family. He fought for the Catholics in the Protestant Bohemian revolt of 1618 and was awarded estates confiscated from the rebels after their defeat at White Mountain in 1620. A series of military victories against the Protestants raised Wallenstein's reputation in the Imperial court and in 1625 he raised a large army of 50,000 men to further the Imperial cause. A year later, he administered a crushing defeat to the Protestants at Dessau Bridge. For his successes, Wallenstein became an Imperial count palatine and made himself ruler of the lands of the Duchy of Friedland in northern Bohemia.

An imperial generalissimus by land, and Admiral of the Baltic Sea from 21 April 1628, Wallenstein found himself released from service in 1630 after Ferdinand grew wary of his ambition. Several Protestant victories over Catholic armies induced Ferdinand to recall Wallenstein (Gollersdorf April 1632), who then defeated the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus at Alte Veste and killed him at Lutzen. Wallenstein realised the war could last decades and in the Summer of 1633 arranged a series of armistices to negotiate peace. These proved to be his undoing as plotters accused him of treachery and Emperor Ferdinand II ordered his assassination. Dissatisfied with the Emperor's treatment of him, Wallenstein considered allying with the Protestants. However, he was assassinated at Eger in Bohemia by one of the army's officials, with the emperor's approval.
