So I know Germans have a great housing card and a great "Wild West" card variant for reducing Outlaw pop, but the value of both of those seem fairly minimal in value when compared to the British, Japanese, and Swedes, who all traditionally want to max houses anyway due to their economic output (not counting Lakota or Inca due to their restricted Outlaw pool).

Is there something I'm missing about this commonly-accepted concept? I've seen at least a few German players with things like dedicated Comanchero decks, but nobody playing the 3 aforementioned "house civs" with designated Outlaw decks awaiting the right Outlaw maps.
