Fun fact : Bretonnia is the only faction that you have for free, every content regarding Bretonianns is free since the beggining. And no other faction has that.
It's mainly because it doesn't provide anything "unique". Almost all animations are refused from the Empire units. Also because the campaign isn't very unique either.
I love Bretonia! Seeing my cavalry act like a roomba on the battlefield before loosing the battle allows me to reach a peak emotionnal instability that I can’t get otherwise😂 It’s like a bipolar disorder that I can trigger at will!
Legend of Total War may have half a million subs, but you are hands down the funniest Total War channel on UA-cam. I fucking love your vids dude. I laughed so much on this one, especially at the English comments, and I'm English!
I don't know if it's easier, depends on if you can catch and wipe out Grom before Ikit and Morghur comes up from the south to murder you... if Grom isn't dead by turn 10 then you are in for a much worse hell than this video suggests imo.
Brettonia has aged like milk; like as a faction they're basically all about Knights on horseback and so you'd natually want to rush for them but the problem with that is that you can't credibly start fielding them for awhile between you're poopy economy and the fact you don't start with access to them unless you're playing as repanse. So of course you want to go for peasants but uh oh you can't have too many of them or you're going to eat Econ penalties. And the best part is, that until you're a ways down the chivalry meter, any new lords you unlock are going to have to go through a whole bunch of nonsense to unlock their vows and start field knights. And like, these systems were frustrating and slowed down your growth a lot back in WH1 but it was more or less fine back then since the overall pace of that game was slower and you could afford to spend 20 turns spanking armies of orcs as they spawned in. Now though? In 2024? Their mechanics cripple the hell out of them relative to other factions which come online real fast and get real vicious.
That was a very well thought out assessment of the situation. I have never worked so hard for so little as I did in this video. But when you put so much time in, you dont want to stop haha.
@@tobbe2363 Like the most ridiculous thing about the peasant economy mechanic is that it's rooted in your controlled territory which would imply that you're supposed to rapidly expand so that you can build up your armies... but the Orc blight and the penalties you get for warring with bretonians means that you can't really do that either. Really the whole faction just desperately needs an overhaul.
It does indeed, i really like the Idea of Bretonnia, but it’s such a pain in the ass to play that it isnt worth it, unless you are really into suffering as a hobby
@@tobbe2363 Really, Ifit was up to me, I'd make the brettonians a quasi Horde faction; Let them have their holdings and such but the main focus would be on having these major armies that are focused on going out from the homeland to lay waste to those that threaten their ideals with the further you go giving you more rewards and such. Because yeah, this whole thing where so much of your viability is gated behind money, tech, horribly indefensible provinces, vows and peasant economy basically ensures that you're never going to be able to get going unless you are modding the fuck out of the game.
Bretonnia being a mixed of France and Arthurian Great Britain while Albion being the old England with ritual, druid and things like that? Strange but hey i'm not here to judge. I mean, their cities, name and part of chivalry are french, Repance is Joan of arc heck she is called Jeanne de Lyonnesse in the French version of the game but well they never had "the lady", MORGIANA fay enchantress or other part of those chivalry.
Fun fact in case you want to do it again, "gr" works to give region using the cheat mod. You don't have to type in "give region" as you must have done hundreds of times.
there HAS to be atleast like some good bretonnian inf that isnt trash (squires dont count). Like please can they add some sergeants or like a semi professional city soldier class
I love Bretonnia and its annoying that CA has a love boner for the Empire but leaves Bretonnia in the dust. Playing it with Lily's mod is the only way right now
i have yet too see someone do a "One Province only" with the vampire pirate coast factions. Sartosa with zombie pirates only is pretty fun. Or Sartosa with Sartosa only millitia and the Sartosa Free Company
@@tobbe2363 at 5:33 the bar of power its yellow showing your strength against the enemies usually when I am playing that bar is green and red but it could be some one your game settings that changed it
If you know what are you dealing with then Bretonnia is some what good and you can even try to do only peasent campaing. If you don't know then you are in big trouble but you can still manage becouse cavalary. And then there is me "The Crackhead" jumping head first into the first ever bretonnia campaing on max dificulty using only peasents becouse f*** cavalary. You can guees how it ended.

You are right, that is a fun fact
They really forced us to pay
That's because no one in their right mind would pay to play Bretonia
It's mainly because it doesn't provide anything "unique". Almost all animations are refused from the Empire units. Also because the campaign isn't very unique either.
@@generalharold7709 The Vows are fairly unique

God you should write my scripts for me, that is one of the funniest takes i have read haha

Thanks Mando!, it has been a rough couple of weeks and that means alot my friend.
Haha good, You can always count on the English to take a joke!.
Outstanding! Thanks so much for all your hard work and "True Grit".
Bretonnia is a very good and well balanced faction once you have downloaded half a dozen unit and overhaul mods for it
For the Lady! Subscribed despite or maybe because of your churlish attitude to the realm of Chivalry peasant! (Awesome humor brother)
What can i say, i have been drinking to much ditch water m’lord. ( Glad you liked it brother)
I love bretonnia, i know their whole gimmick is only horse but god i Wish they would have at least something like sergeants
Yeah their fotogen leave something to be desired
Great video, honestly whenever I play Brettonia I always pick Faye enchantress much easier start compared to louen
Thanks man, well that is good to know if i ever play them again haha.
I don't know if it's easier, depends on if you can catch and wipe out Grom before Ikit and Morghur comes up from the south to murder you... if Grom isn't dead by turn 10 then you are in for a much worse hell than this video suggests imo.
Today we are saving our own disaster campaign, by force.
Tbh you might be my favorite total war creator you are really funny
That is high praise indeed! Thank you.

That sounds pretty cool. Mot going to lie. You have been giving this some thought.
Can't wait for their rework, if only it came with a graphical update to their models because they look tragically dated too.

That is a good tip, thankfully copy paste worked tho!
what is the mod called? or is it a console command?
If I remember it right, the Fey enchantress was the first gamewin for me, havent really played them since...
A video full of TACTICS
So the Couronne campaign is just Harold Godwinson in 1066 simulator
It sure feels like it
I like playing bretonnia and is a faction with tons of cheese and wine. Hell Rapanse campaign is one of the easiest on WH3
So what you are saying is that i choose poorly?
"I have UST" mfs when they forgot the J
God the fay enchantress is really the best thing about that faction
Louen has the roughest start ive played, i dont know how his ai manages it, its constant cbt
i have never seen a campaign map fully completed 😨
It is very Easy to get when you have access to cheats haha
there HAS to be atleast like some good bretonnian inf that isnt trash (squires dont count). Like please can they add some sergeants or like a semi professional city soldier class
bretonnia is my faavorite faction with sfo
How is sfo these days? Remember playing it in wh2
FUCK YEAH! LET'S GOOOOOOO
I hath returned!
While nobles are playing knights and heros, peasants playing survival game coming from friends and foe.
I love Bretonnia and its annoying that CA has a love boner for the Empire but leaves Bretonnia in the dust. Playing it with Lily's mod is the only way right now
I like the Lore of Bretonnia, hate the gameplay tho haha
I bet 5 dollars I hate brettonnia more than you.
After spending 2 ish months on this, there is NO WAY you hate them more than I do!. Before? Prehapps but not after hahaha
Like for the ending play. good laugh
i have yet too see someone do a "One Province only" with the vampire pirate coast factions. Sartosa with zombie pirates only is pretty fun. Or Sartosa with Sartosa only millitia and the Sartosa Free Company
You can cheese free Knights still can't you?
Bretonnia is broken, you can win with only bow men on any difficulty
I quite like playing Bretonnia 😪
That campaign is broken.
Ive never had a fun time as bretonnia, I think the Vow's are too much. should be a skill tree thing.
I think the vow’s are a fun mechanic, they just need to flesh it out a bit more. Having to do the same things over and over is kinda boring.
depwavity
Tobbe are you color blind because watching this the colors of the game seemed weird
Huh... I didn’t notice anything but I might have accidentally a chroma key on the main line, it wouldn’t be the first time
@@tobbe2363 ya i noticed al the things that are normally green where yellow and some of the green grass was washed out
I gave it a look and i didn't apply anything to the time line THIS time, do you have any specific time stamps when you noticed it?
@@tobbe2363 at 5:33 the bar of power its yellow showing your strength against the enemies usually when I am playing that bar is green and red but it could be some one your game settings that changed it
also at 5:42 the grass is very washed out and appears yellow though It could be the normal color of that region i just remember it being more vibrant
If you know what are you dealing with then Bretonnia is some what good and you can even try to do only peasent campaing. If you don't know then you are in big trouble but you can still manage becouse cavalary. And then there is me "The Crackhead" jumping head first into the first ever bretonnia campaing on max dificulty using only peasents becouse f*** cavalary. You can guees how it ended.
You are a braver man than me my friend!
