Get black fire pass and cell it to the empire

Oh, gotta coalition build. Only way to survive when Urks, Grobi, and Beasti are around. Build a city with the manlings and defend it together

around 23:20 whats that music's name?

Maintaining some level of sustainability would be one of many hurdles, but definitely top priority. Doesn't matter how tall the walls are or what mercenaries you have in your pocket, if you can't feed them or keep animals watered, or have some sort of income, you're done before you even start. Two, defenses. Starting out, I'd probably rack up a debt trying to pay guards and build defenses. But, assuming we're able to get up and running, I don't mind if I wind up having to pay them back for the next ten years. This goes back to point one, sustainability. Having ways to keep mercenaries supplied and healthy will go a ways toward keeping them around, and treating them right will earn loyalty and reputation. With luck, I might even convince some to become soldiers under my own flag. Three, coordination. I have soldiers, defenses, and supplies to last for years. Now comes the problem of gold. Coordinating with some of the other Border Princes would go a long way. Not only could lucrative trade deals be made that would benefit our economies and keep a steady stream of revenue, but it would also improve relations. Incentivising these other Lords to cooperate and band together would make my survival and theirs as well a lot more attainable. Some of the other fledgling Lords would likely see me as a potential conquest or threat, but with my self-sustaining resources and well-paid (and hopefully) loyal soldiers, that can be addressed. Eventually, if things go well enough, I'd try to convince the ones I'm on really good terms with to try and form some sort of alliance or confederation. With that secured, and with our accrued armies and resources, we would hopefully be able to repel any orks, undead, beastmen, or other greedy Lords. Ambitious? Yes. Practical? Also yes. Likely to wind up with my bones bleaching in the sun? Of course. But this is Warhammer, and you're not going to become anything of note in this world if you don't court death at least once.

Might make for a nice place for the empire to expand to and turn it into a new province. Work with the nearby dwarves to build defenses that’ll hold off the green skins. Instead of relying on blackfire pass every time.

Battel brothers for the win!!!

But would that be a good idea for the empire? They have chokeholds via the mountains, imagine how many troops would have to devoted to garrisoned the region which is so close to where the largest concentration of greenskins outside of the darklands lies. And of course Boyz like a good krumpin so imagine what happens when a domino effect of orc tribes arrive looking to fight.

@@mickeymalone7577 An economic alliance with the offer of professional military training and support building infrastructure would be everything they need. They already have all the bodies needed to field their own armies

The world... blew up... And if that hadn't killed them, the narrators speach impediment would have when his 'S' finally came to a conclusion.

These places were founded by exiles, outlaws and would be rulers. Any 'cooperation' with the Sigmarite Empire would be regarded with trepedation and suspition. It honestly wouldn't take much for the population to get riled up and accusations to be leveled at the Sigmarite Empire trying to 'take over'. Regardless if it is true or not. Besides it is more interesting like this, rather then the whole place being another Sigmarite province.

@@visitingforgefather5997 You know, that's very fair. I let my love for Franz and the Empire overwhelm that sense lol. I truly believe Franz would never try to militarily take over the region, but I wouldn't be so sure about his successors taking advantage of whatever roads he built. You're right, it is more interesting to let them be - just wish they'd be more of a powerful buffer state lol

Definitely, I like to think that not all battles should be "the biggest battle you've ever seen" or the End of the world if X is not stopped. Smaller conflicts and even personal-level stories help make up the world and give it a sense of scale. An RPG set in the Border Princes would be cool indeed 👌

Im currently planing with some friends to play a mixed campaign of rpg/wargame where the players are put at the head of a mercenary company, recruiting, completing contract, going to battle with the troop or on adventure just by themselves The border princes is a fine answer to this setting

Would be a great Mod for the game Bannerlords too

The closest thing to that would be Pathfinder Kingmaker, and Pathfinder:Wrath of the righteous;in termnof crpg as far as i know.

I was thinking of the same thing: a Skyrim-style game where players can play as one of the races in Warhammer fantasy and engage in battles with various creatures & factions as they collect loot, level up their abilities and complete interesting quests.

Theirs a mod which does. It's called southern realms

It's the worst narrator I've ever heard in any of his video's. After the recording, someone should have gone up to him and said: Do you really want an entire video made of s's? Why would you hire someone with a speech impediment?

@@Coolz85 i heared much worse. And with much more filler and useless comments. Or with a overplayed voice...so they think they are "cooler" or sound "more intellectual".

If only the Narrator didn't ruin the entire video by having his 's' sounds drag it's nuts over all of it.

It doesn't help that section of the world was shrunk down to being two provinces wide

They shrunk down? What if someone made a mod where the capital cities are accurate 😅

That's just because it was one of the first modded factions in WH2 and they haven't been updated, at all, since.

@@paula.827 The problem is the entire world was compressed so players can play across 3 different continents. The already smaller areas became absolutely tiny. It will never happen but I really wish we got the Old World map in the 3rd game with all the updated factions.

Ostland is being published tomorrow!

@@TheBookofChoyer yes! YES!!! 😍🍻

As far as I'm aware, Choyer has not narrated any of the videos on this channel. For the most part he relies on voice actors like Fantasy Bound's Marl VA, Mr. Anthony L. (who narrated this one), and myself to narrate his writing and bring new life to both Warhammer universes. Thank you for your long time viewership however! It's much appreciated

Zero. It's one of those words that just comes to me when doing research & writing I guess. Will keep an eye on it though now that I've noticed haha
