- Let’s hit 50k Subscribers, click here ☛ bit.ly/TH-camBOC The topic for this episode was the one chosen by the community in a poll we did last week. Thank you for voting and for watching!! The video took more time than anticipated to make, hence the delay. This is an overview of The Empire and one of the biggest challenges for this one was trying to pack the most amount of information possible into the episode. Going into the entire history of The Empire would require a really long video so I´m planning on making separate episodes for the different events and main characters: "The Great War against Chaos", "Balthasar Gelt" or "The Skaven Wars", for example. Hope you enjoyed the video!

Thank you for watching!! Please make sure to read the video description for more information on this episode. Also, thanks for voting in the poll we did last week where this topic was chosen. :)
Hey guys. How about you follow this video with one in the future dedicated to the herald of Sigmar himself, Valten the Exalted. Hes one of the most epic empire heroes during the end times and my personal favorite empire hero. His Exalted of Sigmar mod looks absolutely amazing. Plus if you do this, you guys will be the 1st to properly feature his in game model. Maybe end it with his involvement and final duel with his ultimate nemesis Archaon the everchosen. That would be so awesome!
Heres the link in case you're interested. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1564402758
Awesome! I enjoyed reading about Valten too. Thanks for the suggestion my friend!
@@TheBookofChoyer my pleasure
This was Great. :) Can you do the king arthur like Human faction next. :) I think it's called Bretonnia.
Very good video. I think you shoudl use this mod instead of lesser effect : steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1567055147
It's a more complete mod for people who want to make cinematic videos
Three things make Empire great : Faith, steel and gunpowder
- Magnus the Pious
magnus said nothing wrong
@@gyozamoney5909 wrong magnus but you are right
So sayith the savior of the Empire of Man.
Not wrong , pretty much same for European colonial era.
No PC there.
You forgot about summoning the elector counts.
Not to mention probably the Empire's greatest achievement: To mediate an alliance between Elves and Dwarfs! ^^
Did they do it?
If only their lands had suitable climates
Sigmar wills it.
@@Luizguilherme-iz9ylin lore prior to the end times. The phoenix king Finubar was making progress amending relations with the dwarves. Unfortunately, he died in the end times and the alliance broke down after Tyrion flipped out on Thorgrim over his and Alarielle's daughter being nabbed.
*Desire to start a new mortal empires campaign rises*
Hope the empire redsign comes soon its sad to see the empire as such weak faction in the campain.
@@prophetphoenix2092 ugh, and the beastmen spend a good portion of their turns just raiding and building forces, so the turn timer gets triggered a lot. Beast campaign is bull man
*immediately gets turn off by 10min per turn*
Summon the elector counts!
I know this is a bit late, but there's a mod on the workshop that removes every new world faction to drastically reduce AI turn times if you just wanna play in the old world.
The Empire is basically if the Holy Roman Empire was surrounded by fantasy monsters.
More like spanish after they discovered gunpowder
More German on name and esthetic if you ask me
@@antoinecyr2833 The Holy Roman Empire was mostly German!
@@samevans847 The holy roman empire wasnt holy, roman or even an empire
@@debrickashaw9387 It was holy and an empire for many hundreds of years as for the name roman the church saw it self as the successor so gave the title to them to show their authority back when the holy see and the Byzantine empire where having a pissing match
I never really thought much of the Empire in my TW campaigns since there are so many magical and beastly factions, it really makes you think about how amazing it is. Despite the numerous horrors of the world, man always perseveres. Loved the video! The voice acting is superb as always.
They're actually pretty tough to play in campaign. A lot of other races have clearly dominant units and you can spam armies full of them + whatever support they need to work and dominate battlefields. Dwarven artillery/ranged units, wood elf ranged units, high elf dragons and ranged units... dark elf... ranged units. Ranged units are great is the point. But the Empire can't really do that, none of their units clearly dominate, you really need armies that are designed to work together, with every unit having a role that they need to fill. It's fun but it's a lot more complicated than, say, the dwarfs, where you build a strong front line, park your ranged units behind them, and just win.
@@chriswhinery925 the problem is that the armies of man should have far bigger units then elves and dwarves only to be outnumbered by orks and skaven as tw is at moment they just lack behind lets hope the redsign helps. Its just sad to see them die in campain
@@Siegberg91 The problem is the Empire is missing a lot of supporting units and Legendary Lords. Knightly Orders, Nuln Iron Companies and Ironsides, Imperial Foot, the Celestial Hurricanum, the Landship, Master Engineers, Kurt Helborg and Ludwig Schwarzhelm... among others.
@@chriswhinery925 Which is why they're the most satisfying to play in campaign, in addition to strategic decision making on the map, you actually need decent tactics, formations and unit coordination to do well in battles. The AI is stupid so it honestly isn't that hard, but it's infinitely more fun having your army play a concert in stead of bashing on a drum. The empire unit voices, the battle and campaign music all mesh together extremely well to give the feeling that the only thing that keeps things together is grit and ingenuity. There's nothing more satisfying in TW2 than bombarding the living fuck out of heathen monsters right before they run into your carefully deployed handgunner firing line focus firing a particular unit to shreds, before your main line charges in and your reiksguard go around the flanks, all while Franz yells "FOR SIGMAR".
@@frysebox1 Well said.
FOR THE EMPIRE, FOR SIGMAR!!
yes brother, for the empire and sigmar
SIGMAR!!!
FOR FUCKING TODDY!
FOR SIGMAR AAAAND THE EMPIREEE!!!! 🔨
For the Emperor!
"Will you not die for your Empire? Will you not fight for your families? Sally forth then, into the jaws of death and cry havoc this day, that you may live within the annals of history."
-Emperor Karl Franz
For the Empire, for SIGMAR, for the WARHAMMER!!!!!
holy sigmar bless this ravaged body
Three things make the Empire great: beer, guns, and mustaches.
- Emperor Magnus the Pious
Woah this was amazing overall, I loved the use of so many mods to display the vastness and uniqueness of each province and time era as well. The Kislev armies fighting with their Tzarina on mount, man that was quite a nicely added touch.
Thank you Julio! Glad you enjoyed this one!
@@TheBookofChoyer could you possibly list what mods you use would love to add them to my WHTW collection
@@jessicamason2526 of course Jessica. :) I've listed them here: thebookofchoyer.com/community/
"The empire is the largest and most powerful realm in the old world."
*Condescending ratling laughter*
But are the rats really united, not they betray each other so often they can't be called a united empire. Without their end times lore which is just terrible they never work together.
Rat-things are n-not rrreal, mmmyes-yes
« Mankind United » I can hear a faint « honhonhonhon » in the distance
Jobo Griff honhonhon baguette intensifies
Is this a TTS reference?!
Look to the west of the Old World and you can see knights searching for the Holy Grail and worshipping the Lady@@justindalton8701
@@justindalton8701 the nation of bretonnia, basically its medieval mankind that worship the holy grail er lady of the lake.
I conquered bretonia as the empire and deleted some letters from the citynames and made things like -burg -festung -stadt or -dorf behind it.... it really sounds German now
Sigmar's reign was far from peaceful, if i remember correctly he fought off Nagash, the first doomtide where he singlehandedly fought a bloodthirster and killed the first everchosen Morkar. Granted that may no longer be canon what with how often things get changed.
Who cares about "canon"? I haven't since 2015
You soldiers who fought and gave your lives for the Empire will be reborn into a better world. One that does not know as much war as you were previously in. Your virtue and courage allowed for this.
TBH me as a german and feloow prussian im more then honored to be a 'part' of a ingame Culture ! I never got into warhammer but the lore i experienced thru vermitide and Warhammer 2 gave me the rest and now im officlial addicteed to this genre. Bless sigma for those events!
As a citizen of Altdorf, this video has my consent. In a world of heroes of might and magic, of daemons and devious, twisted horrors, eldritch abominations and other malevolent forces, the Empire endures through Faith, Steel and Gunpowder. Simple men hold the line, while the inventions of many rain fire and death upon their enemies. Battle Wizards and Warrior Priests use their powers to aid their allies and smite their enemies. The Empire of Man is the nation of common humans who constantly stare at the abyss, and do not back down. The Empire endures.
This really should be an official faction introduction video in the game! CA please hire this man already!
I AM FRANZ, THEY WILL OBEY!
I wanna hear about Brettonia. I always loved Brettonian faction in the campaign because of how you can decide to keep a feudal economy or industrialize
Is that the total war pc game your reffering to? If so i need to run them again and see how the industrialization thing plays out
@@421less1 yes
Ah sigmar , one of the lost primarchs!
I agree, footman of Lordaeron.
As much as I like to play as lizardmen, skaven, orcs, I can't forget how much I like the empire of men. The humanity of warhammer.
8:42 The winged hussars arrive. Nice mod!
Wes Takahashi and they turned the tide
What I love about the empire is that if you build an army that is more than half artillery and stack a bunch of bonuses you will always have 1/20 of the loss of your opponents(Its incredibly hilarious and op)
The Empire Endures! 💪🏻⚔️🛡✊
8:45 WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
Whaaaat? Empire vs Beastmen
I cant wait for The Chaos waste and Norsca
I´m doing that one this month
This is the first Warhammer fantasy video I've ever seen. So a comet was seen around the time of Sigmar's birth, he arose as the mightiest of warriors, unified the humans into an empire, ruled for 50 years, and then disappeared. I can see now how well it fits in with the idea that this is happening on a medieval planet in the 40K universe, with Sigmar being one of the lost primarchs. If only GW would make it canon...
Oh, not the 40K crap again. It's almost as nonsensical as "End Times". All garbage
You did a nice job here. Thanks for let us know more about the Empire lore, I love this faction and everything about this universe. Here where I live, is very hard could get any book or anything about warhammer.
Thanks to you for watching :)! I'm in the same situation, unfortunately there's no Gamesworkshop here where I live.
I play every campaign with Empire, they are just too cool.
I did play some WE, they are awesome as well, and dwarfs.
Another great video, keep up the hard work!
Many thanks 🙌🙏🙂
Yall gotta read "The legend of Sigmar - Graham McNeill"
I failed at diplomacy when I played, had to conquer all the humans while beating chaos then took a few hours killing dwarfs while dealing with beastmen spawning in stupid places.
It’s surprising that the empire managet to survive with such strong foes like the dark elves or chaos and skaven😯
Humans are nothing if not stubborn and insane
Is it wrong that I would love to see the _Warhammer: AOS_ world upgraded to the Mortal Realms' equivalent of the Industrial Age? The idea of Imperial Zeppelins doing battle with giant steam-powered war machines makes my heart go flippy-floppy.
What is that music that starts "The Foundation of the Empire"?
11:43
"Black Power artillery" wow
Always wondered if Sigmar was/is one of the lost primarchs from 40K
imagine you went through all these trouble and become a god and some whirlwind traps you for millenia
How can GW say that Sigmar isn't a lost primarch.
Love this, great for a beginner (like me) in Warhammer to get to know more about the Empire and Lore. Keep it up mate :)
Fantastic content, loved every bit of it. Consider doing a followup on Kislev but there is a lot of material to chose from. Kislev always takes the brunt of everything and even have to deal with both orcs and undead, their lore is fascinating and they are probably some of the bravest souls in that wretched unnamed planet.
Agree. Will definitely do a video on Kislev but once an official DLC/Content pack comes out.
@@TheBookofChoyer Not sure there will be a Kislev DLC with the Lizard/Skaven DLC coming up. Fingers crossed though.
Great work, thanks!
Although they kinda like the main characters the empire is the faction I knew last about. Thnx for the vid
Thank you for watching Queek! 🙌🙂
12:23 They would like Japanese Gunka ol' timey military music, very fatalistic.
I've watched this a couple of times, but this is a fantastic video mate! A really, really awesome and well put together and edited vid!
Thanks so much, can't wait to re-watch the others and I hope you do many more of these lore videos!
Great video as always! Thank you for making them! ❤
Wow, I really love this video, seriously, amazing information about the lore of the game and beautifully exposed! I now have so much info about the lore that I can talk about in my TW empire campaign series, thanks Book of Choyer!!!
It´s great to hear that man! All the best in your campaign!🙌
@@TheBookofChoyer thanks so much for the reply :D if you are interested, you can check the campaign on my channel o.o The first episode's video quality is not great at first, but the 2nd episode is good :D
Love these lore videos. Easy to digest for newcomers and the cinematics really tie it all together.
By Sigmar yes!
what about the rat-man plague that nearly destroyed the Empire?
That didn´t make it into the episode. But I´m planning to do a video sometime soon based on that topic. "the Skaven Wars"
Rat-man? What are u talking about heretic?
clearly the OP is role playing as an Empire Historian and not mentioning Rat men exist
@@Treblo28 Burn me at the stake Sigmarite but the Plague was real! And the emperor at the time was a fat useless bastard!
Worth the extra day wait! Lol keep the Empire lore coming!
Excellent work! The details are great and it's obvious you've spent time making it perfect. Keep up the great work
Thank you Patrick! :)
Wow, this is an incredible video. Time to watch more!
Wow! Absolutely fantastic video. Great presentation and the visuals where thanks to the mods totally immersive and cool looking! I wish this would play if you start your Empire Campaign! Thank you
Honestly I am loving this series. Its like Warhammer Louis Theroux has gone through the world bringing the citizens knowledge from all parts
Your videos help make an amazing game even more memorable. Thank you.

First MMO I ever played was Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. What a shame what happened to that game.
Wooow! Well done!
Waiting for the next episode :D
Very nicely made video. Great work
Well done! This really helped.
Great video!
rumor always has it that Sigmar is the missing Primarch of the Emperor, and I still believe that
This was an amazing video!
Awesome video!!! Please keep up the good work!!!
Absolutely love these videos!

Aye, the Empire! Amazing work as always! You got me all excited for all the love the Empire is about to receive with all them characters and wars :D
Thank you Captain! 😃
Really good overview of the Empire as you need to cover its ancient history, its current history, government, military, religion and locales. I say you can get easily lost in Empire videos as there’s so much to cover.
woouuuu...I think is the best video yet...Or at least my favorite...Well done! :)
Another great video, my friend. Keep up the good work. 😊
Thank you Aidan 🙌🙂!
Very good material. Thx for share!
That was brilliant subscribed
