I updated the look of the friar and added a bit to the skill tree.

Skill dump on him ?

can you make similar for the empire?

is the mod works in vanilla? If it does I can make a new submod for this or update the old one

There used to be a SFO submod for this mod, but the author took it down for some reason. If someone who knows how to mod could make a new one, it'd be much appreciated!

Ah, awesome - thank you!

Now I just have to wait for someone to make a CTT compatible version ;)

@Lampros They use the "dignitary" agent slot which is unused otherwise for Bretonnia.
Lampros 17 Aug, 2021 @ 5:47am 
What agent slot does he use, may I ask?
Herald of the End Times 6 Aug, 2021 @ 1:12am 
Does he have skill dump yet ?

@Solaire Yes

Does this work with the new update?

great mod!

A replenishment boosting hero is exactly what Bretonnian peasants need. Cool idea!

Bregonne Faction Overhaul mod doesn't work with Friar mod. @maffers can you fix it?
Truen 14 Jul, 2021 @ 8:15pm 
Awesome idea for a great class concept.

oooo This is cool, I've been asking for Paladins to get this kind of battle prayers for years, but this is a good stand-in.
maffers  [author] 28 Apr, 2021 @ 11:45am 
@Bastilean The names just come from the default male Bretonnian names from the vanilla game. I haven't added any new names so if its not in the default list it won't be one of the available names.
Bastilean 28 Apr, 2021 @ 11:33am 
Is one of the names of the friars Athelstan?
2Scribble 19 Apr, 2021 @ 1:27pm 
So, basically, a hero version of Gui le Gros... that's pretty cool :)

@cybvep It's been so long that I've played without sfo that I'm not actually sure what the initial tier of the temple of sigmar is in vanilla, so you're probably fine man. Unless you also play with sfo, then idk what mod you could be using that would change that. Either way, if you didn't notice it was an issue until now I doubt you have anything to worry about, lol.

@maffers Sweet thanks man, and such a quick update too! Looks like I'll be starting up a fresh crusade tomorrow, lol
maffers  [author] 17 Apr, 2021 @ 4:53pm 
@wolfe374171 I think you're right. I changed it so you can recruit him from the Grail Shrine as well, but the hero cap won't increase until you upgrade to a Chapel.
cybvep 17 Apr, 2021 @ 4:10pm 
Wait, Temple of Sigmar is tier 2? In my game it's tier 3...
wolfe374171 17 Apr, 2021 @ 2:34pm 
Hey I play with sfo so I'm not sure how similar the building chains / recruitment tiers are, so forgive me if some of my info is wrong but I have a small request if you don't mind. This friar character is meant to be the bretonnian equivalent of the empire's warrior priest, right? Well the warrior priest is recruitable at the first tier of the temple of sigmar (which is a second tier building), whereas the friar isn't recruitable until the tier 3 temple of ze lady. Any chance you could adjust the friar's recruitment down to the tier 1 or 2 temple? This would put him more in line with his imperial counterpart and also space out the friar's recruitment a little bit from the damnsels. Idk just seemed odd to me that you have to wait just as long to recruit essentially a vagabond priest as you would a sorceress. Either way, thanks a ton for the mod!

The hero works good. It gives the player an additional option to bolster the frontline and provide additional replenishment.

Minor suggestion: add two mid-tier mutually exclusive skills (fighting styles) giving either anti-infantry bonus or anti-large and charge bonus vs large.

Can You Make A Sfo Version
Screamingrock 15 Apr, 2021 @ 10:26am 
Great work! May be you can make legendary Friar hero Bagrain https://forums.totalwar.com/discussion/272808/more-heroes-for-bretonnia/p3 ?
heffaklumpmamma 15 Apr, 2021 @ 12:59am 
This is a great idea! It lets the Paladin be a character killer instead of infantry booster, and solves the replenishment problem for Brets.

Bonus points for liquid fortification! :steamhappy:
mateusg 14 Apr, 2021 @ 9:15pm 
Thanks and excellent
maffers  [author] 14 Apr, 2021 @ 8:39pm 
@mateusg The AI should recruit them.
mateusg 14 Apr, 2021 @ 5:14pm 
Will the AI recruit him also ?
Woizer 14 Apr, 2021 @ 12:26pm 
Awesome hero, never thought about it but its a great addition to a race that can really use it
hugoleomarinho 14 Apr, 2021 @ 12:25pm 
thanks for this Mod mate. Bretonnia really needs news heroes types. I hope you´ll take him to Warhammer 3 too.
cybvep 13 Apr, 2021 @ 5:01pm 
Very interesting hero unit. A version of Warrior Priest for Bretonnia. I like that. Bretonnia desperately needs more hero types.

Some thoughts/suggestions:
1. Without any abilities, Friar costs 900 in custom battles. For comparison, Paladin costs 400 and Warrior Priest costs 350. Since he mostly supports infantry, I'm fine with paying premium, but it still seems like the basic hero is very overpriced.
2. Friar is anti-infantry despite using something which looks like a spear. It's not the end of the world, but not very common in WH. Just saying :).
3. If you are looking for unit ideas, here are some:
- Battle Pilgrim variant which would work a bit like Plague Monks;
- elite tier V AP Battle Pilgrim variant working a bit like Censer Bearers, but with unit caps;
- Robin Hood style archers with vanguard, stalk, woodsman, poison and fire on the move (no 360 firing arc and no AP, though).

@rose Thanks!
maffers  [author] 13 Apr, 2021 @ 10:39am 
@zerg93 I was thinking about making a few more units for Bretonnia but I wasn't sure which ones I would make. Bretonnia already has Battle Pilgrims which are kind of like Flagellants, but I could make a version that uses staves or another 2-handed weapon. I'll think about it some more.
maffers  [author] 13 Apr, 2021 @ 10:31am 
@John190_homicidal_maniac That's a good idea. It might take a lot of custom modeling and work to get that in, so I might not be able to do it, but I'll look into it.

Greetings Maffers! I made a sfo patch for your mod. Thank you for the brand new addition to the Bretonnian hero roster. :)

Really good idea ! Thanks you for this mod :)
zerg93 13 Apr, 2021 @ 3:08am 
@maffers Cool!
Are you planning to also make unit regiments from this?
I think It would be nice to see something similar to Empire's Flagellants but more Bretonnish for the Bretonnia roster.

Is there a Backpack you coul give him, since it is said that they Travel a lot and all that.
