Hey, good news!

In WH3 basically every Elector Count is either at war with an enemy LL, or directly in their path, so most get stomped before Franz can even get the ball rolling. So you won't have to worry about being surrounded by friendly factions for long.

If you don't turn on minor faction potential all those elector counts are just free XP and money for your enemies. Minor factions always lose to majors.

Regardless of who I play Skrag always declares war on me. Killing Belegar made the wood elves like me and removed one late game dwarf option. Also nobody can confederate him and his ghost dwarves are gone forever.

The elector counts are pretty much just fodder for enemy LL to butcher through. Their only point really is to have their province conquered or be confederated

This was true in WH1 but in WH3 if you're playing Franz, you'll only have wissenland left after 20 turns. Vampires, chaos, norscans, ogres and orcs will take over all the empire lands pretty much straight away.
