  • Let’s hit 50k Subscribers, click here ☛ bit.ly/CZcamsBOC This is one of those episodes that I really wanted to do. A Lore Overview of Karl Franz is the topic you guys chose in the last CZcams Poll we did so hopefully you will find this video entertaining. Making this video and putting it together was a bit of a challenge since Karl Franz is one of the most (if not the most) known characters of the Old World, so that extra pressure of "getting things right" was there. Thankfully I had the helping hand of my buddy Uncle for part of the script and the awesome voice acting of Skrubasauras to give life to the video.
    Hope you enjoyed this episode and see you next sunday!

    I'm a 40k guy, so reading about WHFB feels like reading ancient history, in a good way. Seeing a mere human acquire, quite deservedly, the title of Emperor is interesting, as Karl Franz is much more of a person than Big E. He has a name, a family, and a body that still lives, traits the God Emperor lacks.

    • @TheBookofChoyer

      Remember, that the God Emperor, also has showed a lots of similar traits like Karl Franz in 30K as he was still walking among men. Also they are both completly different in nature. Big E walked the earth since the stone age as a manifestation of human spirit and will all the way into the 41st millennium. Karl Franz is like a HRE Emperor who claims the throne after a bunch of unsuccessful predecssor making him the first since decades, rulling the Empire with success.

      That is until you fight an army of the most broken basic infantry unit in the game, the Warriors of Chaos. A demon possessed viking wearing daemon plate armor that is faster and stronger than an Adeptus Astartes from Warhammer 40k that is immune to cannon balls, muskets, giant monsters, and magic. Finally they are stronger than EVERY SINGLE elite unit of EVERY army in the game (besides the elite, squishy, elves aka the slanted eye squirrel fuckers). I know because that is exactly how they went on table top. They are the same here.

    "But with the nation of man at its heart - a bastion of hope and courage... The Empire. Led by the craven, torn apart from the greedy, weakened and exposed... Forever on the defence." Words that describes Empire the most. I always liked the concept of this faction in Warhammer universe. Simple men, that stood tall against the creatures, best used as nightmare fuel, endless horrors, that human mind can only imagine. Surrounded by all sides, and even from the inside and beneath, Empire of Men do its best to survive. And Karl Franz, as best of his nation is representation of the state in flesh. Good content as always, pure joy.

    Sorry but we are missing the story for why he's a statesman beyond peer i.e. how he got elected Emperor! Although only briefly touched, he wasn't interested in being Emperor because the strain seen on his father but he was also keen on simply being the Elector Count of Reikland and raising his family so he thought he was never in the running especially against other Elector Count's.
    The fact he got elected Emperor because he persuaded his opponent's Elector Count votes and the Moot Elder to support him instead of Boris Toddbringer is a pretty huge feat. Boris was a total badass on the battlefield, years of experience and already had great ties with the Church of Ulrich so he already had their High Priest's vote (The Al-Ulrich) in the bag. He also told the Grand Theologist that a FOREIGN POWER'S DEITY had a vision of him being Emperor (It was Volkmar the Grim who - if you read Dreadfleet or his lore - is pretty much Judge Judy with a lower tolerance for bullstick from anyone who has no loyalty to the Empire or Sigmar) whilst getting what would be a load of social flack in having one of the craziest Elector Count's backing him to the hilt. (A guy who would, in response to getting threatened after a visit to a pub would decide to attack them first without caring if he could take them or not).
    On top of ALL that, agents of one of the Chaos God was trying to assassinate him because they knew Karl Franz would be an Emperor who united the Empire instead of divide it. "Break it and make it whole again." - That's what a Wood Elf said upon seeing him when he was young and the Wood Elves saving his family from Beastmen. Mind you, just the story of his early life and HOW he got elected could fill one video!

      @@ahmadtarek7763 It really depends of what happens during a campaign.
      Marienburg is a good start as it's worth a lot of income, but it can get rough to defend vs Norscan (depends how aggressive they are in the game).
      It also depends of what happens to other Empire provinces. If VC are strong, they're going to gobble up Averland and Stirland, do go there if it happens.
      Most often, confederate weakened Provinces, even if they can be quite far.

    I’m a newbie when it comes to the lore but after watching a lot of videos from this channel one question comes in mind
    And that is about the lore. So if chaos minions especialy and other enemies of humanity are so strong in close combat then how did humans become a faction when they did not have so much artillery? How did they win fights? With numbers, bows and tactisc? also how strong is a very well equipped and trained human warrior in the lore like could one beat an orc in 1v1 or are humans just good in numbers, fight from range and with planned tactics? Lore of warhammer fantasy seems interesting indeed.

    Interestingly Karl-Franz was only just elected as Emperor in TW. In line with The End Times around 2520ish IC. But in the old fluff he was elected Emperor in 2491 IC. Guess they had to make him a bit younger to make him a believable Legendary Lord action hero.

    Listening to this felt a bit odd till I realized it was storytelling and not an explanation of wars and events. Genuinely a wonderful video to listen to. If I might make one suggestion it would be to put the bit about the other video, talking about the battle, either at the end or just have it come up as text. The difference in voice and pacing kinda threw me off for a bit. Amazing work all the same.
