All of this forces you to choose to either have a load of units and heavy deficits or tiny armies and lots of money. This would be just fine if it were not for the fact that the only real way to make a lot of money early on is by using farms or industry.

Once you go above this number you start to make a lot less money from farms and industry. The peasant economy mechanic basically means that you have a certain number of non-elite units that you can recruit to your armies before you starts to draft in random peasants off the street. Unfortunately Bretonnia has a mechanic that makes them far from normal and I would argue a little further away from good. Now this would normally be no problem as I could just recruit a new army in my capital province and protect it just like that. I eventually got an army large enough and took them out and razed the settlement to gain a little early game chivalry.Īfter this I continued with a couple of attacks into Marienburg territory before Norsca decided it was time to come down from the north to ruin my fun. Unfortunately the only nearby orcs had a full stack or 2 and they were right by a settlement so I had to spend time recruiting more units to fight them rather than continuing my expansion into Marienburg. While expanding into their territory I had an event that caused me to suffer huge public order (its called control for some reason) penalties until I fought a battle against some Greenskins. The first army you fight is evenly matched as far as the balance of power goes but if you fight it manually you should be able to win pretty easily as long as you use your units well. They start at Couronne and are initially at war with Marienburg who are on their east border. When playing as Bretonnia you have the choice of 3 factions and while they are all very similar and share end goals, there are some differences that you should know about before deciding who to pick.įor the purposes of the guide I played as Bretonnia as they are (obviously) the original Bretonnian faction added in Warhammer 1.

I’ll cover every single thing I can think of that will help you achieve world domination as Bretonnia. Total War: Warhammer II - How to Play Bretonnia
