Which LL would you recommend to learn bretonnian faction?

[Napo]

Hi,

I'd like to start a bretonnian campaign, but this faction seems a little bit different from what I used to play (Norsca, dwarves and skaven mostly) . How do this faction play, and which LL would you recommend to start? Repanse and Louen seem definitely awesome.

Cheers,
Napo

Louen is one of the strongest lords in the game.

Before you play Bretonnia, read up on How lords level up -they have quest lines that must be done before they can recruit the next tier of units. Gotta know that.

I think Bretonnia is the worst thing in video games. I'd be curious to hear if you enjoy the campaign.

Louen or Repanse if you are doing Mortal Empires. I honestly would recommend Repanse in Vortex though if its your first time as Bretonnia because the Vortex campaign does not give you the greenskin public order penalty

I didn't know about the recruitment system, I thought the vows were only some kind of buffs for the lord, thanks for the tip!
I'll let you know if I like it lad

Greenskin public order problem? What's this?

I always go for Louen as he has the best faction buffs and he is the strongest.

In Mortal Empires if you start as Louen, Alberic or the Fay Enchantress, you start getting a public order penalty at turn 2 for twenty turns with the explanation being that your lands are being attacked by Greenskins. You lose a lot of Public Order per turn unless you raze or sack a Greenskin town (which there will be some nearby) so its not an issue if you get to it right away and murder those nearby orcs.

Update: I played a couple hours of Repanse's Vortex Campaign, and I must say it was absolutely boring, I don't think I'll play bretonnia again any time soon.

Thanks anyway for your advices guys, I appreciate it.

Cheers!

The upside is that you can easily smash these rebels every three turns or so if you don't garrison the city. This gets you experience and a bunch of chivalry, also helps with relations with anyone who hates Greenskins.

It does tie up your army though.

I know that feeling. Sometimes Bretonnia can be fun, but most of the time it's on par with a Greenskin campaign. The start's battles are fun and then comes mid-game and I just want to delete the campaign again.

Any of them, really.

Louen is overall good, but you will have to deal with some annoying norsca people in the beginning. Try getting Marienburg, realm knights and start confederating asap.

Alberic and Fay enchantress are great in long-term, especially the former (I like magician lords, they are fun to play). There are some orks, undead and woodies to deal with and interesting diplomatic choices.

The only one I haven´t play is Repanse, but I definitely will some day. Looks awesome.

And they have a GREAT economy system. Go for farms and take care of that peasants; use industry just in places where you think you will have to defend.

No real bad choices for Bretonnian LLs. Alberic used to be way worse than the others, but not really anymore now. Stil la bit below probably because of how good the Fey, Louen and Repanse are as LL, but not a bad choice at all.

Unchivalrous knave. >:(

Repanse is a great campaign if you want to bully tomb kings and lizardmen with your questing knights spam and trebuchets. Brettonia are pretty limited though, all you're really ever gonna do is build farms everywhere whilst waiting to transition from Knights of the Realm to Hippogryph Knights.

Side note: I didn't noticed they'd given Blessed Trebuchets the "no friendly fire" trait until I'd already gotten to the end of the campaign. So many missed opportunities. :c
