Lily's Bretonnia Overhaul: Definitive Edition - Immortal Empires

Sons and Daughters of Fair Bretonnia! At last, I give you the TRUE Definitive Edition version of my Bretonnia Overhaul!

This mod is a rework of Bretonnia, adding new units, technologies and balance changes to enhance your feudal-over-lording experience.

This overhaul experience was designed to allow for more effective use of melee infantry, whilst still adding new features and changes to enhance the noble knights. Overall, Bretonnia may have a steeper challenge in some areas due to the weaker economy, but having more options and play-styles at hand will radically change how you play each campaign.

Try your hand at peasant mob spam with the Fay Enchantress, an army of royal men-at-arms with Louen or hard hitting regiments of foot squires as Alberic!





• Knights upkeep is increased by 25% without vows, instead of 200%.
• Modified starting armies for King Louen, Duke Alberic and The Fay Enchantress.
• Questing Knights and Grail Knights have smaller unit counts but improved stats to compensate.
• Foot Squires are buffed, making them a bit more worthy of Tier IV.
• Men-at-arms (Polearm) recruited a tier earlier, Peasant bowmen and Peasant mob recruitable from the settlement chain.

FAQ
Q: Why are my units taking so long to recruit?
A: That's because you installed a mod called Immersive Bretonnia, its not being caused by this mod.

Q: Is this mod compatible with such and such mod?
A: If the mod alters vanilla Bretonnia units, buildings, effects or changes the peasant economy in any way, then you will likely experience issues. I don't plan to continue to support and create compatibility mods, you are free to make them yourselves for the mod combination you want to see.

Q: Lily, are you going to add more units? Do you take requests?
A: I'm more likely to revamp and edit the existing units than create new ones. I do take commissions for making separate mods, but I'm fussy with what I work on and I'm not as well versed as other modders with script/lua and many other aspects of modding.
