Editing Karl Franz (section)

==Total War: WARHAMMER==
Karl is playable as a legendary lord, and faction leader, of the Empire faction. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyU_1-Py0dA Here is his trailer]. He starts off fighting a greenskin horde that tries to invade Altdorf only to find out that the no-good-ulric-worshipping dick Boris Todbringer has incited a rebellion causing the Empire Secessionists to occupy the other cities in Reikland.

As a Legendary Lord, he is a duelist that can wreck most lords in combat with his mighty Ghal Maraz. As he ranks up, he gets Deathclaw as his mount which lets him fly around and prey on greenskins, undead and heretics alike.
Interestingly, his personal skill tree in the game represents his entire journey in the game. He starts off as a rank and file lord with slightly higher damage due to Ghal Maraz, but his quests and skills focus on Karl's journey in uniting the empire and leading it. The Reiksguard that fight under his personal command become capable of routing regular Bretonnian knights and soldiers flock to his banners for less pay. His skill tree culminates in An Emperor's journey, which gives him extra weapon damage AND makes him unbreakable. This finally makes him a duelist par excellence, and the heart of his imperial army.

His other position in the game includes delivering awesome voice acting (by Peter de Jersey, for those that want to know) that burns straight into your brain, with lines like:<br>
*"NO PEACE, JUST WAR!"
*"SUMMON THE ELECTOR COUNTS!"
*"I AM FRANZ, THEY WILL OBEY!"
*"BRING ME TO MY MEN!"
*"THIS ACTION DOES NOT HAVE MY CONSENT!"

Other than that, there are also game images of him putting a smug look, which has transformed him into the official meme character for The Warhammer Fantasy franchise since the games' release.

[[what|There's also one instance where he threatens Archaon by sending OVER 9000 flagellants from the Grand Theogonist if he won't fuck off.]]

===Playing as Karl Franz===
Karl starts off with Reikland divided and held by rebels. His first action is to put down the rebellion and consolidate Reikland. He also fights a quest battle to destroy rebel reinforcements bringing serious firepower from the Middenlanders gaining a magical wizard.
After that he can focus on either taking out the Marienburgers who may or may not be facing down a war with the Bretonnians or run to the rescue of Stirland which will be invaded by vampires.
