Bretonnian Errantries greenskin incursions spawn Bretonnian rebels instead of greenskins
Hello. Playing as Thegan's Errantry in ME, i get the usual bretonnian Greenskin Incursions event (-20 PO for 20 turns), but it seems to spawn Bretonnian rebels instead of greenskins. Could you fix it to spawn greenskins or disable the whole event, please? Kinda weird having to fight bretonnians for 20 turns instead of actually crusading things.

Yeah that is already planned to be fixed soon.

Okay, thanks!
I thought it was pretty good the way it is, does this really need to be changed? I played both Bregonne (where it was Skaven) and Thegan's Errantry (where it was Bretonnian rebels) and it was a change of pace from the Greenskins you get with the main Bretonnian factions.

Well, it makes absolutely 0 sense to fight stacks of bretonnians every turn in the middle of the desert (and it is going to be every turn without the province commandment)
What makes sense here is subjective. I'd argue it is interesting for two reasons, firstly you rarely fight mirror matches as Bretonnians, so it's something a bit different than more greenskins. Secondly, you could easily view it as the 'crusade' breaking down and squabbling starting over rights to the land, certainly if our own history is anything to go by.

Originally I wanted to make a separate event for the Crusader Bretonnians to have a Beastmen event instead related to the horde that starts there but so far I didn't manage to duplicate that event successfully for them. Greenskins still kinda makes sense for them but the next ones are a bit further away, so Beastmen would have been more sensible.

For Bregonne, Greenskins was intended anyways as the Blue Vipers are fairly close, they were not really intended to have anything to do with Skaven like this.

However I can see a point in having Bretonnian revolts in Araby where there should also be sufficient manpower to make that viable without killing all local Bretonnians off entirely, though that would require a working separate event to make sense of that. The same pretty much goes for Skaven, though it was originally even less intended for them to be present as rebels, but I can see the variety argument being viable, so I'll try again to make those events when I have some time.
Ok, well one thing I think is that the crusader Bretonnian factions in the Southlands are likely to be placeholders for an eventual replacement by another DLC faction, so perhaps putting work into custom stuff for them might not be good if they end up getting completely replaced.

One complaint I have seen is that some people don't like that incursion event at all, perhaps it is possible to make a similar option like the Brass Keep decision as to whether you want it or not. I don't know how much work that is and I'm fine with the incursion anyway, so just a suggestion.

At this point I find that rather unlikely as that area is already quite crammed full and CA typically avoids sticking too many vanilla factions close together, which is why 2 of the Tomb Kings start somewhere quite different rather than this quite small area of the map.

I already customized them a bit but even if I do it more with this kind of change, it would not be enough of an effort that it would be really annoying to lose it if they really were to add a proper Araby culture or thelike instead of those Crusader factions.

I could theoretically make it possible to disable that event in such a way in the future, although I always saw it as a nice way to train your armies without having to attack another nearby faction right away, which is especially important for the original Bretonnians. Of course there are always plenty of people around who dislike various things about the game and I can't exactly cater to all of them.
