Summon the elector counts!!! The Belegar campaign so far has been so good and enjoyable, and im sure this ones is gona be at the same level or even better 👊🏻😎
you gotta go north to save middenland. attack the beastmen, the orcs and festus. then focus on the vamps. best way to save the empire in my opinion. saving the empire is a great way to keep a buffer from the forces of chaos further north
@MrKILLINOOBZ I never fight the empire while playing Karl Franz, Waste of resources. What I was explaining is like the first 30 turns early game. True you can't unite the empire until mid game
If the rest of the battles are like those two this series‘ll be great! Excited to see the SFO units, I’m still deciding between empire & lizardmen for my first SFO campaign
Warhammer units do have lines based upon what enemy they are fighting. "Die Traitor" is something they say everytime they fight against another Empire faction like Succsessionists
I’m so excited to watch this series now after watching your Ikit one! It such a good feeling to know that there is so many amazing hours of gameplay to watch!
I've been overdosing on Kenshi let's plays and Cyberpunk fanfiction lately, time to flip the script and return to an old love of mine - Total War games!
You, sir, are trying to make an "indentured viewer" with all of these concurrently running campaigns...and it's half-working. Given that I'm simultaneously following Fableheim's Gelt campaign--his 1st Ultimate Crisis!--it will be interesting to compare how two different-but-similar factions, handled by two very different, very experienced players, go about the business of protecting the same chunk of land...oh, and how much both of you prioritize getting the Ubersreik garrison up and running. Very, very important
Something I tried to do in my Karl campaign is building a fire themed army with a bright wizard hellstorm rockets and some borrowed irondrakes. I'm curious to see how you would aproach this concept.
God damn you Ruinous. You are drilling a hole in my wallet deeper than any fetid hole in a skaven undercity by making me want to buy these games and their DLCs XD
Once small piece of advice: RANGED UNITS ARE STILL THE META. The initial battle, and all the others can be done with 0 casualties if you use Reiksguard to disrupt the enemy crossbows and shooting the hell out of enemy melee infantry while it is crowded around Franz. You can lose half your soldiers in every battle, of course - but this slows your campaign significantly, as you have to recover for longer after every battle. Enjoy what you are doing, great content. Just remember that being efficient = being more engaging
Archers are cheaper, available at Barracks rank 1, so easier to get to - if only barely - and also have a higher model count, meaning more projectiles in an attack, which CAN be useful for considering a cheap as dirt army to fight specifically Skaven, Goblins or crappy Undead armies.
Generally speaking SFO tries to keep away from the immediate upgrade on next tier that vanilla has a tendency to do - i.e. Saurus and Saurus (shielded) are sufficiently different, rather than the shields just being a straight upgrade, same with pikes/spears, etc. This is what confuses me about archers. Crossbows have slightly fewer units but considerably better range, armor, and pierce. They seem superior in every way.
Just found your chanel, and its really entertaining, especially since i love the empire and Karl Franz. Also please add the mod for loading ammunition for the handgunner and another range unit. It will be more immersive
I'll look into adding it once the Chaos Dwarfs patch comes up. I'm a little wary of patch compatiblity issues as they've killed a few campaigns in the past.
It’s probably too much and too nitpicky but I think units should take damage from being run over cavalry while on the ground. Do you really think if a barely armored crossbowman gets run over by a heavily armored horse he’s just gonna get back up!
I hope you can vassalize Vladdy daddy as he is loyal to the empire he just thinks HE needs to run it to make it work but I’m sure Karl Franz can gain his loyalty
scuse me but can u explain me what the SFO mod actually does??? i dont like to watch modded gamelays expecially of warhammer because i think all the 3 games are good as they are....but i noticed that a GOOD chunk of your campains are made with this mod...and since i would like to start both this and the dwarfs campains in your channel, i want to see how much does this mod changes the base game
It's a massive overhaul, covering everything from battles, to campaign mechanics. Instead of the more CA way of balancing things, ie nerfing everything in single player because of multiplayer issues, SFO balances everything by buffing everyone up to a far more similar level. It also provides a very necessary service by making the more vanilla factions unique. Gives them the kind of flavor of, at the bare minimum, a free dlc faction. Gives you a reason to play Tyrion over literally any other high elf for example.
I am so sorry, but i cant watch this. The UI scaling makes this unbarable for me. It takes up 85% of the screen and is so big, that it breaks several times in the first 10 minutes. I want to enjoy this, but i cant.
Time to unite the provinces! Usually in my Karl campaigns I purposely let Wissenlands fealty go low and then I am "forced" to help the local people have rulers who care for them and want them to enjoy their true passion, which is of course giving me a steam tank before turn 30.
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2792731173 Yep, overhaul mod with massive changes. Warning: it does make the game harder. I really should've put the link in the video description, my bad!
archer shoot in "arch" and crossbow shoot in a straight line. Is the crossbow the actual useless because archers can be positioned behind your infantry and gunners have to be positioned in some sort of formation (chebron or checkerboard usually) great videos!!
Thanks man! Crossbows do shoot in an arc as well, a shallower arc than archers, but they can fire on top of walls and over units heads just like archers do. Plus they have better range.

@Gr8sc0tt ya if they survive like you said. A lot of the time they won't survive mid-late without the help from the human player

wide variants of artiliary and range units sound like a good opportunity for ruin to disintegrate melee units in just 15 seconds
I’m so excited to watch this series now after watching your Ikit one! It such a good feeling to know that there is so many amazing hours of gameplay to watch!
It feels like the Empire Archers are meant to be cheap chaff units to just act as a filler or garrison when your coffers and income are a bit too low.
That's pretty much what they are, Cheap, but somewhat useful Missile Units for when you cannot afford Crossbows, Handgunners or Huntsmen
First one here lets goo, love the the campaigns cant wait for the EMPIRE
Let's go!
Another new campaign from the Ruinous Insight?! Warp yeah!
Of course Vlad is the one true emperor -of my heart- but Sigmar v1.9 will do for now.
Do you feel like you are cheating on vlad... come on now ruin 😢

@@mirceazaharia2094 could you give me the names of those fanfictions please?
Hopefully the electors stay alive long enough for some good politics this campaign!

so happy i found your channel awhile back! great videos!!
Second place. love the content keep up the great work
you are the voice to make me sleep, thank you sooooo much
I know Karl’s armor is supposed to be a Griffon, but all I see is a chicken
Metal turkey
Looks like an interesting series as always

I bet that army did work against the undead lol

There are big sales at the moment, so might wanna check out Steam.
do it. way better game than anything else.
This is my first time seeing SFO. I am excited to try it!
Love the Let’s Play. You have a natural voice for radio.

why arent u using mixu legendary lord mod? D:
What does Harmonic Convergence does anyway?
Love the videos
Just a question but when you get there your gonna grab the out riders with grenade launchers right? right?
Honestly if you're not building grenade launchers what is even the point of anything
I'v been waiting for you to play empire for a long time Ruinouslnsight Thank you
It definitely has been a while, and absolutely my pleasure!
good to see Karl again
Love your content, keep it up :)

One of TW:WH problem, charge looks devastating, yet damage isn't that big
33:52 THEY'RE IN THE TREES!
the fact hes wearing full plate but has no hand protection irks me
I hope you can vassalize Vladdy daddy as he is loyal to the empire he just thinks HE needs to run it to make it work but I’m sure Karl Franz can gain his loyalty
Death to undead
Love the battles.
Thanks man.
Let's go!
you a Goat Bro !!
Wouldn't it make more sense to give the banner of swiftness to the Reiksguard?
For the algorithm
Archers can arc over walls and hills,while crossbows cannot that would be the difference imo
Or they can hide behind friendly meat-shields.
Models are more splitted than crossbow too, making them a bit less exposed to explosion & aoe spells.
I also noticed double range, + 5 ammo, + 6 missile dmg VS the free comp militia.
Longer battles are ok imo.
This is Awesome !
In Sigmar's name.
The Empire's main strength is their firepower and magic spells.
Honestly this campaign is so boring to watch but it’s sfo and ruinous who’s playing it so it’s worth the watch
I remember they're working on a world war 1 mod For the human empire
scuse me but can u explain me what the SFO mod actually does??? i dont like to watch modded gamelays expecially of warhammer because i think all the 3 games are good as they are....but i noticed that a GOOD chunk of your campains are made with this mod...and since i would like to start both this and the dwarfs campains in your channel, i want to see how much does this mod changes the base game

Hello RuinousInsight,
i went know about 18:00 in YT, what is that? Is that automatic by Bots?
Chad Franz
The meme emperor himself
I was considering on getting Warhammer 3 when a steam sale hits but the negative reviews are making me reconsider so I am currently on the fence.
Most of that was due to a backlash against creative assembly corporate greed and business decisions. Not the game itself
Karl is cool, but not Grimmgor cool haha
Sigmarrr
Cant get any mods to work :(
I did appreciate the voiceline memes.
I am so sorry, but i cant watch this.
The UI scaling makes this unbarable for me. It takes up 85% of the screen and is so big, that it breaks several times in the first 10 minutes.
I want to enjoy this, but i cant.
You deserve more subs dude most people don't put out nearly this much content while they get paid to do it.

Ah a fellow Wissenland hater
Hey, Vlad's an elector count in this. Nice to see that little detail.
I'm curious if it's going to be an interesting episode
I think the reason you pick empire archers is the same as why you pick skaven slaves over clanrats
That "Mary" in marienburg kinda bug me xD
If it bugs you, think of what it does to poor Marius!
It's so weird seeing the generic lords leading the empire after playing mixu's so long
Yee haw let go so much nostalgia for the Frans campaign
One thing I loved in the Empire campaign was finding a Vermintide reference in Ubersreik, made me feel so smart
Can anyone hit me with a link with what SFO is? A big mod?
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2792731173

excellent
Always Franz, never the Golden Boy =(
He's just getting angrier and angrier under that mask
Prince and Emperor!
Could we see this play through updated due to the newish update ?
why are the interfaces in gameplay different from mine?
I love your content. Keep it up!!!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
I always come back to Empire and Dwarf playlists. Thanks for keeping them up!
nice!
