this was super helpful, thank you! I'm in love with the faction design and aesthethic and wanna give them a try. unlike a lot of guides, you give specific, straight forward, actionable advice. thanks
i think an important thing to note, is that because vows essentially lock you out of endgame units, and because bretonnia doesnt have supply issues, it can be very good to spam a few extra melee lords early game, yes its a little more campaign micro, but if you move 3 or 4 extra lords with your main army, you get a ton of extra combat power, and they cost around the same as a mid-high tier cav unit anyway.
Another tip. Late game you can scratch peasents all together and just stack Grail Guardians and Questing Knights as your frontline. Use hippogryphs to flank and pox arrows to debuff spears
hey thanks for the video! I love Bretonnia and I'm just trying to get better and improve. I like horses and giant trebs, just like anyone else who loves Bretonnia ^_^
Thank you soo much brother. This tutorial was soo helpful and i was thinking... What am i doing wrong? Do i read everything wrong? Well... i dont even saw an information about VOWS... Soo my campaign was bad asf but i anyways get the whole africa ahahah... Thanks mate, im gonna be even better! But my main is Belakhor.... I won the campaign in 75 round once!
Yeah I always make a plan before every battle and i ambush very much as bretonnia and even when I’m not ambushing, my late game armies are 70% grail knights, mixed in with some royal hippogryphs and royal pegasus knights. I put all the grail knights in lance formation and they easily smash trough the enemy frontline XD my favorite tactic
Bretonnia has penalties to farm income if they go over the peasant limit but what is the biggest penalty and how many pesants can I have before I have -100% farm income? Are there worse penalties than that? I noticed there's quite a few penalties from various sources but I recently have come to believe it is not important if you build industry and fight enough battles to keep chivalry and income flowing.
I dont know off hand but it goes up fairly quickly. I tend to make 1-2 industry regions and then go farms for the rest and usually that gives you enough reliable income that you can take a couple of turns with a massive peasant army to defend with if needed. The goal really is to use as few peasants as needed and mostly knights and heroes.
Gradual debuffs. If you go over 50% of max limit in top bar near Honour (for example Limit x/50 = threshold is x/75 ) then its -100% to income from farms and zero replenishment for all peasant faction wide.

Glad to help! Yeah I found the same issue which is why I started doing guides!

yes thats a great strategy, sadly no time for it in this video!

Yep that usually works against most factions!

@@LordForwind Achievements aquired! :P
@@suchymatyas6925 Congrats!
Excelente video amigo
Thanks!
Nobody is gonna do shit about you in the late game when you are super rich and field doomstacks of grail and royal pegasus knights
Britonnia late game is terrifying. Although the empire and CWs can put up a bit of a fight if you're not careful

In fays army because she has buffs for grail knights in her skills
@@liltimo2675 Always a fun tactic if you pull it off!

@@Saloman4ik ok so no big deal then? Any peasants can be merged and replaced.
Farm income only matters if you build farms.
Since I'm the first to comment, you have to do dwarves next, if you haven't already, I'm going to look for it now.
This is the first one, CDs tomorrow and actually Dwarves out later this week.
Small nitpick - it's cavalry, not calvary.
yeah I say it wrong at times!
I'll actually watch this vid - but my #1 tip is to just not play Bretonnia sksksksksksksk
haha!
Agreed, there are some great Bretonnia mods tho that make them awesome
