Vows and Troths



Vows and Troths is a campaign feature added to all Bretonnian factions in the Doomsayers Update for Total War: Warhammer II.

Description
Vows and Troths replace the previous method of reducing upkeep for Bretonnian knight units, which required skill points to be invested into specific traits within the skill tree. The new system allows Bretonnian characters to complete specific tasks throughout a campaign to unlock the vows associated with reduced upkeep, and are available immediately upon character recruitment. Vows are available to Bretonnian Lords and Paladins, while troths are available to Bretonnian Prophetesses.
