Why did they change him? He used to be this cool 'great statesman' type figure, now he's just this emperor-chad
no they didn't
Fucking hate the term chad. What, you're too but hurt that your neckbeard doesn't get you any ladies? There something wrong with putting an effort into appearances and working out?
What does "Chad" even mean? Is that what you say when you're too old to say "jock" without being ridiculed?
>>47970554
>Why did they change him?
They didn't, it's all imperial propaganda, Ludwig and the griffon.
>>47970554
>He used to be this cool 'great statesman' type figure, now he's just this emperor-chad
Those two things are not mutually exclusive. And go back to [r9k] with that 'Chad' bullshit.
>>47970774
i mean that he used to be 'merely' an exceptional human. now you get the impression nobody would be surprised at him sololing a major chaos lordboss
>>47970671
>>47970658
I think it's less about /fit/ and more about "Chad" being a douche.
>>47970808
Then OP should've just said douchebag and not sound like a man child throwing a tantrum.
>>47970803
He died during Glottkin invasion. Was pretty great but not that awesone,
>>47970803
He and his mount were killing giant monsters and had an awe-inspiring presence on others long before now.
Have you not even seen his appearance in the Felix & Gotrek books?
NOMMUS
>>47970554
You're daft, he's fucking great.
Playing this game and Vermintide made me come to realize I like fantasy (at least the setting) better than 40k, and I've got a 40k army and been playing for years.
At any rate a living, moving Emperor Franz, is infinitely more appealing than a throne-clad The Emperor.
yes, he is mighty warrior, great general, wise ruler and superb statesman.
As seen in wh40k, being 'normal' human and killing demons, or orks is completly plausible.
Keep in mind that they live in world full of warfare, no computers, modern medicine and so on. so they are tougher then you or me or other anon.
IMO he is greater warrior and ruler then Sigmar when he was human.
Based Karl. I wish we had leaders like him in the real world.

Man, I can't ply this game. It cheats like fuckin crazy.

TW has increased the cheating level with each game. In Rome 1 only the big factions had ultrastakes most cities had half a score units. In Rome 2 every mono-region faction will throw you 1200 soldiers every turn.
>>47970554
Don't ever talk to me or my elector counts ever again.
>>47974116
The main part that irritates me is the lack of an intercept mechanic outside the underway.
It's nothing but the highest grade bullshit that raiders can waltz in your regions, get their shit pushed in and then go off and fuck up your towns anyway.

>>47972483
The game features a fairly young Karl Franz too; some of his storyline battles happened before the original "present" of the wargame and before Archaeon was actually the Everchosen.
The Blackfire Pass event battle for example.
His hammer is pretty neat, I'd like a 3rd person version where you just go around as Karl frank hitting things with a hammer. Which is why I like storm cast externals, because If there's one thing warhammer needs it's more big guys hitting other big guys with hammers, wait is this the troll /tg/ thread?
>>47970554
He is described in the 6th edition empire book as being taller and more muscular than many men, and is a superb warrior as well as statesman. Normal humans in warhammer have to go up against orcs and beastmen regularly, it makes sense that the beastly badasses are the ones who survived to reproduce. Plus, Karl Franz can channel the power of Sigmar in times of great need, like he did during blackfire pass. Thst actuallynused to be included in his rules in the early editions. Don't know where you got the idea that he was just a good statesman
>>47974920
I liked it too, until I realized the unique characters/leaders have the same animations.
I had a ton of fun and laughs watching Karl leap into combat and smash the ground with his hammer, sending enemies flying. Then I later realized he wasn't anything special when a witch hunter did the same thing with a rapier.
Also it bugs me a little, that the unique characters are physically bigger than normal troops. I can understand why they did it, to increase visibility and stuff on the battlefield, but it's a little irksome to see Franz towering two heads over other humans in combat, and that's not including his huge helmet. Maybe Franz himself is just a huge guy (though in game he's like 10 feet tall) but it's the same with all unique characters from what I've seen.
>>47970554
End Times and Age of Sigmar. Completely ruined Karl Franz' character.
>>47975134
How so? I'm not familiar with either so am curious.
Faggots and underage b& say "Chad" when they mean "preppy".
>>47975237
Not him, but End Times didn't actually change Karl at all.
What it did was rape the setting until there was nothing left of the corpse.

>Faggots
This is 4chan, you aren't exactly narrowing it down any
>>47970803
Well, he has a griffon and ghal maraz, one of the most powerful magical weapons in the Old world
>>47976940
he also has a horse and dragon

> tfw medieval 1 is STILL lightyears ahead of any total war
try it if you don't believe me, the battle AI actually can beat you if you get a bit careless, on expert difficulty (and it's only got a slight cheating edge) - it actually uses plausible and comprehend-able strategies
>>47977220
It's the price we paid for memes.
>>47974335
Well, Rome 2 is also shit.
Especially the rebellions were ridicilous. They had more soldiers than your entire faction
>>47977118
the dragon is part of the problem
they literally say 'only karl snowflake can ride him. NO OTHER HUMAN has the strength of will.'
like there's this awful trend with GW to basically try and make the powerful humans' as 'awesome' as the bad guys which just kind of undercuts the magic of their survival
>>47977220
Medieval Total War 3 when
>>47977528
Just play 1212 AD mod
Don't you know there's an update comingtomorrow
>>47974042
End Times is WFHB and Karl got wrecked by the Glottkin.
Sigmar possessed his corpse afterwards.
>>47976085
So that anon is a lying piece vof shit.
>>47975083
Karl was defeated by Walach of the Blood Knights and then later by the Glottkin.
Like it was said, he is great but in the end of the day he is still a weakling Southern human.
ELECTOR COUNTS!
ASSEMBLE!
>>47974067
"chad" is on par with "normie"
there is already something wrong with you if it has a place in your regular vocabulary.
So how hard is it to get through Empire campaign in Total War, and enter into confederation with all the other provinces with their original Elector Counts still intactincluding Marienburg?
>>47977835
Marienburg can be confederated, but in my experience must be courted longer than most other provinces due to Marienburg's imperial distrust, bellicose AI, and huge wealth/power. Keeping all the counts alive is tough, since VCs often kill Ostermark and Norsca almost always flattens Nordland. This is on the Hard difficulty for me, might be different on other settings.
>>47977516
See >>47977664
The human heroes are good compared to normal real life dudes, but they aren't nearly as powerful as the heroes of just about every other race. "Normal human warrior" in warhammer just means they aren't blessed by magic or mutated, they are still leagues above real life normal humans especially in bravery, toughness and endurance.
>>47977583
>tfw when no holy roman empire
You just mad Karl gets the bitches.
>>47979419
Imperial Distrust is randomised, you might get lucky and have a friendly Wasteland, Middenland, Wissenland from the start.
>>47970554
I like those depictions where he has completely average stats for an empire officer but becomes a killing machine on the battlefield by virtue of having the most expensive magical heirlooms and exotic steeds in the world. That's what being a fantasy emperor should be all about.
That doesn't really come across in Total War, but then every non-wizard Lord is OP in that game. It irks me much more that a random level 1 orc or human general is basically invulnerable to normal infantry.
>>47977730
>>47974067
those reeing chat normies make me spaghetti
At some point it just sounds like cis-scum or triggered
>>47977516
I thought the dragon let the other emperors ride him when he felt that he had to defend his good life.
>>47970658
CHAD eats PIZZA and ICE CREAM while YOU eat CLEAN and TRAIN HARD
>>47977516
If it's strength of will then that's some wrong writing. Dragons make allies, not accept masters. Even at the best of times you're a curiosity to them. They've only truly treated one being as an equal and he's been dead for thousands of years.
>>47977608
End Times only existed to serve as the lead in to Age of Sigmar, and so should properly be considered AoS lore.
>>47970671
I figured it was the US version of Chav.
>>47982187
End Times is in the WHFB setting.
Conversely, it's not in the AoS setting.
I understand you're butthurt. Now, you must understand that butthurt doesn't alter reality.
>>47984064
>you must understand that butthurt doesn't alter reality
Brexit happened.
Trump happened.
Enough butthurt can crash the world.
>>47984111
While I understand your point, there's two points of contention; one, your tabletop model wargaming hobby is not politics in a local, national, or internal sense. Two; Trump is sort of still in the process of happening and currently is stalling really hard rather then fully happened yet.
Not that guy you responded too BTW, just felt the need to add this. Sorry.
>>47984064
Sorry, that's wrong.
>>47984728
Nope, you're wrong, stop acting like your opinion matters when it won't change a thing. this isn't even the WHFB General where other faggots like you honestly believe this shit, go back to your containment thread where you'll still be wrong.

Seriously, is 'no u' all it takes to trigger you this hard?
