Couronne Strategy?

[klirko]

Title says all, first time playing Bretonnia.

[Lain]

take marienburg turn 1-2, fight norsca ppls until they want a peace treaty, but Do Not go to norsca and start occupying stuff, once your in norsca you'll never leave and there is better things to do.

Hmm well right now my problem is the Greenskin Incursion. I heard to let it happen and farm it, but I don't know.

If you know how to micro cavalry charges and do hammer & anvil, you will be fine

[Ashantai]

You can take Marienburg turn 1. Do that. Defend against Norsca, do not go there yourself.

Your goal in all things is to peacefully confederate the other dukedoms and move to a full cavalry army. Leave infantry strictly for defensive armies.
Ultimately you want to have an army mostly Questing Knights and Grail Guardians. Bretonnian minor settlements automatically get walls at level 3 so you can build a farm and mill in every settlement to generate stupid amounts of cash.
Bretonnia does not have 'supply lines' so get an extra lord to accompany your army.

With buildings and tech you can have lords and paladins starting at level 15+ by the end.

Don't use prophetesses, use damsels of life where possible as they heal and buff your characters.

I find it's best to take the battle to Norsca and raze a few settlements. That puts a stop to their raids, freeing you to do whatever it is Bretonnians do.

Agree.. don't occupy stuff. Just raze it (and take the chivalry points)

Attack is the best defense

Also +1 on the marienburg run and the cavalry spam.

Advice about massing cavalry is wrong. Most of your battles are sieges and cav sucks at sieges.

What you want to mass are trebs. Every army should have at least 12 trebs.

Then add in a few paladins and/or knights to protect trebs and win.

there it is, the stupidest thing Ive read today.

[yuzhonglu]

Have you tried it yet?

Just make sure to fight every single turn and level up Louen... nothing else really matters because Louen is an invincible one man army.

That may be so but he can't be everywhere.

[yuzhonglu]

Trebs. Mass trebs. Have Louen fight off the Norscans, and use your treb armies to conquer the Empire.

Reason people struggle with Leon is because they build knights instead of trebs.

[KellyR]

Why fight the Empire at all when it's so easy for Couronne to ally with Reikland?

[yuzhonglu]

More room for farms, which means more trebs. Also, the Empire is a cakewalk for mass treb armies.

[KellyR]

Meh. I'd rather secure my flank and then go conquer elsewhere.
