Blessed Bretonnia - Faction Update [6.1]

This mod aims to bring Bretonnia, one of the oldest DLC factions, just slightly closer to the consistency of Warhammer 3’s newest factions.

Take a look at the screenshots if you want a quick general overview.

Whats Changed..

• Confederation Hearaldy technologies have been de-linked - speeding up research time. Additionally, there is now an extra option to vassalise a duke instead (including mixer factions) with the help of IfThenOrElse and his mod!
  
  
• A brand new line of tech buffing Men-at-Arm’s units, helping them to stay relevant a little longer in a campaign
  
  
• The SIX different +% industry income techs have been combined into one. This allows a Industry economy to become viable from the start without needing heavy technology investment.

There is still more we can do to improve Bretonnia's tech!

Normally many of the mainline technologies take an extremely long time to research, sometimes even up to 15 turns for a single tech (warhammer 3 factions usually 4-5 turns each). Blessed Bretonnia normalises research times to about 5 turns.

• Alberic and Repanse are more concerned with launching their errant quests into foreign regions rather than unifying the dukedoms. Both Legendary Lords have a special errantry tech tree in lieu of confederation techs to aid them in waging war in the unfamiliar territory.
  
  
• Diplomatic overseas tech has been wholly removed and replaced with Repanse's Rally the Peasants tech branch.. Personally I found this set of research too manipulative and cheese and just making campaigns a bit too easy and samey after a while.

Bretonnia’s farm and industry both require two synergizing buildings, while novel, is a problem.
Especially in the early game, these buildings quickly consume valuable slots, often at the expense of military structures like the barracks. This severely restricts army composition, usually forcing players to skip most peasant units.

Normally the income disparity between farms and industry is significant early on, with industry only catching up after unlocking SIX! separate technologies.

• Each set of buildings has been merged into a single one, saving precious settlement space.
  
  
• Load the bulk of the technology boosts back into the base industry building, making it viable from the start.
  
  
  
• Farms can be built in ‘farmable’ climates: Temperate, Temperate Island and Savannah for bonus income and will offer superior income compared to industry when done so.
  
  Industry provides slightly less total income but with the benefit of being unaffected by climate or the peasants' economy.

Alberic of Bordeleaux now has access to the shipbuilding mechanic. Functioning similar to vampire coasts horde ships, Alberic is able to upgrade his ship the L'Ermite de Sous far from port and home.

An upgraded ship may benefit from the keen eyes of Pegasus scouts extending its vision range, reduced army upkeep thanks to a vast cargo hold brimming with supplies, or even a private cellar stocked with the finest Bretonnian wines, ready for trade.

• The Damsel can ride a Pegasus, while the Prophetess has access to the mystical Unicorn as a mount option.
  
  
• Many legendary lords have their loose skills cleaned up and their special skill trees developed.
  
  
• Regular Lords and Paladins have an additional mini skill tree. Prophetess and Damsel also have several brand new skills as well as some reworked ones.
  
  
• Squires eager to prove their worth and increase their chances of being elevated to knighthood have gained a new skill A Squires Duty.

• A reputation bonus with other order factions aswell as an upgraded version of the iconic lance formation if you prove yourself to be of knightly valour.
  
  
• Green Knight arrives equipped with his unique wargear, traits and some extra QoL such as being able to move the same turn he is summoned.
  
  
• In addition to lords starting with vows already unlocked at high Chivalry level Heroes too will now also enjoy that same bonus.
  
  
• Recruitment for several units such as the Grail reliquae, Men-at-Arms variants and foot squires have all been lowered down a building tier to further encourage the recruitment of these units.

With GW officially making new Knights of the Realm fighting on foot models[www.warhammer-community.com]...we can now happily add this unit to our roster!

Available in two variants, Shields and great weapons. Featuring custom art and models from the GLF team and their awesome mods. thanks!
