Hope you enjoyed this episode and thank you for watching! I just realized this is the 50th video for the channel! So, the topic for this one was chosen by the UA-cam Poll we did not so long ago. Please check out the description for more information and links of interest. As always, your feedback is more than welcome :)
The quote at ~ 3:05, where is it from if I may ask? Its weird. Bretonnia invaded the Empire early into his reign - kinda at odds with Louen apparently being friendly with Karl-Franz prior.
When the Emperor marched to aid Averland, the greenskins are coming from the West? I don't know the orientation of the map and when I checked it, it looks as if the GS are marching West from the East and KF marched east from Reikland to meet them?
Fantastic video, but you forgot one of his crazyest feats, where he somehow walked into Athel Loren, charmed the hell out of the wood elves and then walked out with a Griffin egg! Franz is an absolute bad ass
@@gerrygunawan4130 Endtimes lore being what it is, it's not realy clear other than he was body jacked by Sigmar who could still be wearing him to this day
They'd probably hand those out more frequently if everyone else trying to enter the forest wasn't trying to burn it down. Franz was probably the only one who figured out "Hey, maybe I'll be NICE to these people instead."
@@brainflash1 Yeah but you forget Wood Elves are all hyper super assholes lol, they aren't as bad as Dark Elves, but they are really bad in different ways.
and then the GW underlords DARE have the UNMITIGATED GAUL to resell Karl Franz's model...as a mere "freeguild General!" THAT MAN DIED GLORIOUSLY FOR YOUR TRASHGAME!
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.
Big E is quite a mysterious character I must say. With visible traits of humanity here and there but mostly portrayed as a god or something above everyone else.
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.
"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.
I do worry that all of the beneficent monarchs in popular culture (GOT etc.) are part of a project to soften us up for neo-monarchs in a oligarchic, non-democratic future. Emperor X Æ A-12 Musk the 1st perhaps?
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.
I love that Louen became a bit of a mentor to a young Karl, Bretonnia and the Empire should always be allies. I always have a hard time declaring war against the other when playing as the one.
And Kislev. Empire of Man, Bretonnia and Kislev should always be Allies! They are in the Lore so they should be while playing as any of them! And in truth the Dwarves to, minus the Chaos Dwarves obviously.
Considering this was a supplement novel put out with game I was very impressed. Prince of Altdorf was a really good novelette. Now we just need ot cram Karl, Louen, Gotrek and Felix, into a buddy comedy, where Karl gets cheated on, so they all decide to go the Chaos Wastes, and have one more insane party, before they graduate, and the time comes to grow up!.... lol ROAD TRIP: Warhammer
Dude, you joke, but my ten year old daughter loves these. The other day she drew me a picture of a Chaos Warriors fighting a dragon while watching the Champions of Chaos video.
Franz. The ONE guy I could see servicing the End Times with his mortality intact. Instead, they made the most human character into an aspect of Sigmar.
Emperor Karl Franz has it all: expert statesman who comes to his allies aid and is able to utilize his own allies as needed, a frontline warrior for whom his soldiers admire, charismatic leader who is able to unite the disparate factionalized segments of the Empire, stalwart general able to defeat his inhuman foes and someone touched with divinity as Sigmar’s heir and seemingly Gilles Le Breton’s approval via Louen Leoncoeur there are no fewer characters as beloved in Warhammer Fantasy than Emperor Karl Franz.
Karl Franz shares similar traits to Robute Guilliman. While both are good warriors, they excel as statesmen and leaders. Both suffering from the annoyance of politics yet serve as a key unifying force for their people.
@@crystallxix1493 Guilliman is a primarch, one of the sons of the Emperor of Mankind and tried to rebuild the Imperium of Man before being killed by one of his brothers then put in stasis. Initially prideful, brash, but loyal to humanity. Now revived and gained some wisdom, Guilliman intends to hold the Imperium together as his key trait is a statesman, but the politics and Imperial Cult prevent true unification against chaos.
@@Amatsaru29 the main difference is that at least the Reikland is United under me and I have the support of most elector counts and the cult of Sigmar, our state religion, while my good friend Reboute has to work against the state religion and the Inquisition, making it even harder for him to keep the imperium United.
Legendary lords in warhammer be like Teclis: Awesome mage and has great units Imrik: fuck yeah dragons Tyrion: Awesome duelist, takes on enemy units single handedly Balthasar Gelt: Support GOAT Karl Franz: UNBREAKABLE UNSTOPPABLE UNKILLABLE TANK
This is some quality content. Its informative, entertaining and so nicely shot. Its akin to watching something on the history channel back when it actually showed history and not reality tv and aliens. You guys deserve more appreciation. Good work, great channel.
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!
This channel is going to blow up within the year. Let it be known i've been here since 1k subs putting likes and comments ! Keep it up guys ! This is quality content.
Karl Franz, The Emperor. A true leader, this is why I love this character and he is one of my favorites Warhammer characters. A man that really loved and cared for the people of the Empire, united it and then he fell along his army. Such a sad moment for me when he died :,P but he died for its people, for the Empire, fighting against Chaos at all cost.
For everyone finding this year's from now: Karl Franz died(?) at the tailend of the "End times". This was a series of books, which Games Workshop published to kill off the warhammer fantasy setting. Most of the warhammer community considers this entire ordeal non-canon, because of its low quality. So yeah, this was a spoiler, but for every fan of the fantasy setting this is irrelevant.
One of my favorite characters in Warhammer Fantasy thank you Book of Choyer! maybe future a couple future videos could be about Thorgrim Grudge bearer and Setra the Imperishable? If not oh well still enjoy your channel!
Revisionists - like nowadays - are freaking poison. So "academics" in the Empire have been working on their "history" and thought it was too "politically inconvenient" to hear about Skavenslayer so Mandred Skavenslayer was slowly rewritten to Mandred II. His helm? Fashioned from a Warlord that got a bit close to Ghal Maraz? Simply an oversized rat skull. Mandred stopping a Skaven invasion? To the kids of the Empire, he's a comic book character chasing really large rats. Sounds very familiar.... Mandred "Skavenslayer" Von Zelt: "Skaven don't exist? Fake news! The Skaven are sending their best: best killers, best murderers and best thieves! And I am going to put the Empire first and put them down! All of them! The furries must die!"
This is beautiful. Apologize for my lack of commenting. Work has me tied up, but surely don't get disappointed. I am always watching your videos and enjoying them intently.
Thanks a lot for your words my friend! I used to watch and really enjoy those shows. I think it was called Ancient Battle in History or something along those lines.

"For Sigmar! For Karl Franz! For the Empire!" -Friedrich Feuerbach, son of the missing Elector Count Helmut Feuerbach and acting ruler of Talabecland, in a battle against a Nurgle Chaos horde.
Amazing video, once again. This is so well made, its amazing. The subs will come guys, just keep this quality up. You guys are way way far beyond the competition of other Warhammer lore youtubers, they just havent found you yet. Can't wait for the next video.
I’m doing the Vortex campaign on Hard, and it’s going well. I’ve locked down most of the western side of the map as Morathi. Decided I need to invade the south east now. Haha
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.
What do you capture after you take Riekland ? I don't know where to go and just send Franz all over the place killing people but it's either too far from Riekland to protect or uninhabitable . I have survived and killed chaos in two different campaigns only ruling Riekland .
@@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.
This is fantastic! First video I watch from your channel and count on me working my way through the playlist! You do for fantasy what Luetin09 do for 40k!
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.
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.
I have watched most of your videos about Warhammer II and they are all amazing! I would love if you would do more cinematic quest battles like The Blessed Blade of Ptra , that is my favorite video because of the scenery , how you explained the story behind the armies and why they're there and the battle itself. Edit: Also , please do a cinematic battle of this ua-cam.com/video/DX-djghIY6M/v-deo.html It's a custom workshop map and it's a siege of a lizardmen city , it's amazing

@@chrisspink8873 As far as I see it one of the biggest advantages of the Chaos aligned faction is the disunity between the other factions

"For Sigmar! For Karl Franz! For the Empire!"
-Friedrich Feuerbach, son of the missing Elector Count Helmut Feuerbach and acting ruler of Talabecland, in a battle against a Nurgle Chaos horde.
Just came across your channel. Best lore videos I've ever watched. Thanks a bunch!!
Thanks for your words James! 🙌😃
More great content from a great channel, as always. Thank you for your hard work and the care you take with it.
Thank you for watching! 🙂
Amazing video, once again. This is so well made, its amazing. The subs will come guys, just keep this quality up. You guys are way way far beyond the competition of other Warhammer lore youtubers, they just havent found you yet. Can't wait for the next video.
🙌🙏 Thank you.
These videos play like a History Channel special and I love it.
😃🙌
I really want to see how Karl Franz looks with his helmet visor/beak lowered, as it should be in battle. It looks like a really cool design.
I've never thought about that! Must be cool to see it!
Reminds me of 1990s history channel, making this my new favorite lore channel!
I watched those my friend! Awesome shows back in the day. Thanks a lot for your words.🙌😃
For the Empire, For Sigmar, FOR THE WARHAMMER!
You forgot to mention that he can also ride the only Imperial Dragon at the Imperial Zoo. It is a Moon Dragon if you are asking?
Yes, sir! Yes, sir! This is the kind of content that tickles my jimmies!
Please do this for every faction and/or lord
Hail Karl Franz! Prince of Altdorf, Elector-Count of Reikland and Emperor of Man!
I AM KARL FRANZ, I WILL NOT OBEY!
NO PEACE, JUST WAR!
Quality content as always.. always so glad when you upload a new video🥰 favourite and best youtube channel at the moment!
Am rewatching this because I am getting pumped up for another round in warhammer total war.
🙂👌
I stumbled upon this channel, and my god I love it so much.
🙌🙏
I watched around 3 hours last night whilst playing dark elves in WTW2
@@TheDECKFISH thank you for watching buddy! How was your Dark Elves game?
I’m doing the Vortex campaign on Hard, and it’s going well. I’ve locked down most of the western side of the map as Morathi. Decided I need to invade the south east now. Haha
Amazing work.
Those little goblin bastards were hauling ass. Reminded me of a stirred up ant colony.
“This new emperor Franz better be worth it!”
Karl's Griffon is named "Deathclaw".. but don't forget about his Horse: "Deathhoof"
If Karl Franz only lived today, imagine how the world would have looked like.
the evil ones would have turned against him, except for japan.
Yes, just like the greatest statesman, poet, orator, architect, patriot, painter, and war hero of the reik in our own DOOMED WORLD :(
Well tonight I'm doing a new empire campaign haha
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.
I love Karl Franz ! Please do a video on King Leoun Leouncar
Yes please! Im in the middle of a Bretonnia campaign!
Wow! That was GREAT!
Well, gotta play a fresh Empire Campaign now.
What do you capture after you take Riekland ? I don't know where to go and just send Franz all over the place killing people but it's either too far from Riekland to protect or uninhabitable .
I have survived and killed chaos in two different campaigns only ruling Riekland .
@@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.
@@PowerPuffSoldier thx , much appreciated .
After Reikland, I go for Marienburg... the Empire will be united as one!
Hey look, it's me!
*This Lore Video DOES have MY CONSENT!*
By the Emperors hand he approves this video. 👍
This is fantastic! First video I watch from your channel and count on me working my way through the playlist!
You do for fantasy what Luetin09 do for 40k!
Thanks a lot for your words sir! It means a lot 😃
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.
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.
Great video but could you make video about cousins from other side of grey mountains a noble knights of bretonnia?
Great video!
Karl Franz, chosen of the Horned Rat, Yes--yes!
SPY!
Louen and Karl, Best Friends for Life!
Great lore vid ty
This video makes me want to play as The Empire right now!
I have watched most of your videos about Warhammer II and they are all amazing!
I would love if you would do more cinematic quest battles like The Blessed Blade of Ptra , that is my favorite video because of the scenery , how you explained the story behind the armies and why they're there and the battle itself.
Edit: Also , please do a cinematic battle of this ua-cam.com/video/DX-djghIY6M/v-deo.html
It's a custom workshop map and it's a siege of a lizardmen city , it's amazing
Makes me proud to be a citizen of Altdorf. For Karl Franz and bloody Sigmar!
he sounds like a poweful leader but he still managed to get magic-shanked by a gobbo
This video *already* has my consent.
Please do a video about Balthasar Gelt !
I just found your channel and I love your videos.
FOR THE EMPIRE!!!!!!! MAY OUR ENEYMIES DROWN WITH THEIR OWN BLOOD!!!!!
Tis muh boi!
I like to believe he is The Golden Emperor even though I know he isn't.
