How they play[]

General[]

  • Chivalry: Noble actions provide faction-wide bonuses, while acting unchivalrously incurs penalties.
  • The Green Knight: When certain thresholds of chivalry are reached, Bretonnia can summon a unique hero unit.

Strategy[]

  • In previous games, Couronne has a highly defensible position. To the east they are sheltered by the Grey Mountains, which can only be crossed through two narrow passes. Kislev and The Empire factions tend to bear the brunt of Chaos Invasions originating from the Chaos Wastes in the far northeast. They are also far away from most Greenskins factions. The south is more dangerous with Clan Skryre, Pirates of Sartosa and Khazrak's Beastmen hordes. Also, within Bretonnia in the province of Lyonesse lies the undead Mousillon faction which can cause problems if left unchecked.
  • Bretonnia has a unique race mechanic that limits the amount of peasant units they can have without economic repercussions. Lords with Vows can take large quantities of knights to avoid the economic repercussions of peasant units.
  • Farms are a primary source of income and units. Farms allow the recruitment of peasant archers and increases the amount of peasant units that can be recruited faction wide.
  • Bretonnian factions (Couronne, Bordeleaux, Chevaliers de Lyonesse and Carcassonne) have technologies providing large bonuses to relationships, making it easier to confederate. There are also technologies to provide bonuses against enemy factions at the cost of diplomatic relations.
  • In Immortal Empires, Couronne is somewhat stuck between several notable enemies. The Shadow Legion, which is most likely to be the biggest threat as Belakor isn't a really easy enemy, especially in the early game and his Norsca vassal. Then with Broken Axe and The Barrow Legion in the South pressuring you, either waging war on Carcassonne, your possible Empire allies or you. Not to mention that you first enemy, Mousillon isn't really an easy starting enemy while for some reasons, other minor Bretonnia factions may dislike you for attacking Mousillon. Seducers of Slaanesh may pose a threat as well.

The Fay Enchantress Cheese[]

This is a proposed strategy written by a Total War: Warhammer Gamepedia editor and should only be seen as a tip on how to play or overcome obstacles.

Try to confederate with all the Bretonnian factions except for Carcassonne as defeating the Fay Enchantress in battle with give your lord an increase to replenishment rate. Therefore when Carcassonne is the only Bretonnian faction left except for you, you should invade and defeat the Fay Enchantress with all your lords, giving them the trait. Then confederate with Carcassonne so you can gain access to the Fay Enchantress as a legendary lord. It's a bit cheesy but it can help you out.
