Move to the border between the two forests southwest of Altdorf in direction of Ubersreik. Sack it for some extra replenishment then occupy it the same turn and repair buildings. Always recruit Swordsmen and some ranged (archers first, later crossbow), go for 40-50% ranged and 50-60% melee.Ĭapture Grunburg.
Move back over border and recruit 3 units. Use Karl to fight soldiers and gunners to kill lord to minimize casualties. Make sure you wipe as many units as possible by boxing the enemy in with your ranged units from the side and coming with cav from behind. Always demand gold when you see green options. You can get 900 gold from Kislev and a few hundred gold from some other factions for the deals. After my regular campaign I tried this 2 more times just the first 6 turns just to see if this is reliable and it always worked for me the way I posted it here: My Guide for Legendary Karl Franz ME start. I played a Karl Franz campaign (not finished but at least the first turns) on about every patch since ME so I thought I'd share my thoughts on the current one as some peoples have problems with Greenskins or Secessionists since they got the Helmgart Fort.
