So, I'm trying to draw and write a fan-comic (not really manga since its in English and is read left-right) which is set in a "historical" AU. Basically the human realm inside the Walls is Prussia, with the Titans appearing originally sometime in the 1790s during the beginning what in our time was the Napoleonic era. The actual events would start in 1914. I'm trying my best to use real world geography with the Walls being centred around the capital of Berlin. The military's uniforms and structure are based off of those of Prussia during the Franco-Prussian War in the late 1800s.

I'm keeping much of the original cast (Eren, Armin, Mikasa, Levi, Erwin etc) though some of their backstories and so on would be changed. Military tech is also different, though I've kept ODM Gear because of how cool and iconic it is for the original. Various social issues present at the historical time are meant to play a factor such as racism (particularly the idea of German ethnic superiority) and sexism.

Now, what I wanted to ask you guys was what are the things that you think would be most important to carry over? What are the main core aspects of the original that my AU should keep? Plus any general advice would be nice too.
