@Vampiresoap tbh its annoying in the first game cause you dont have a lot of territory to use. On my Lyonesse campaign i had lots of territory so i could do a good amount of armies
I usually rush the increased chivalry tech vs greenskins, and farm the uprisings. I generally just do the quests and have a stack or two in norsca to farm chivalry quicker.
The peasant economy is to encourage you to take more Knightly Cavalry. Any Cavalry after Yeomen are considered Knights, and thus don't actually affect your peasant economy. My best suggestion is to get a frontline of Battle Pilgrims with maybe a Trebuche to force the enemy to come to you, and the rest of your army be mostly Questing Knights or Knight's Errant, and support them with anti-large cavalry such as Knights of the Realm. I should probably note I play SFO, so some of these stats may not be what they are in vanilla. That bein' said, the peasant economy works the same way. This experience is from a Repanse campaign.
I play bretonnia VH/VH and there is double problem in early to turn 50 : your infantry is even weaker than the empire ones (so weaker than every enemy infantry in early game), and you don't have the infrastructure to balance with good cavalry. Good tips, useful all along the game = Don't care of the peasant limit, get plenty, focus your economy on industry (so you don't suffer from peasant shortage) The impact on campaign will be 0, and you will have strong enough forces to destroy your early game enemy, and take a good start right away In the middle game it's way easier as you have access to your best units
First you get 2-3 Lord with no army at all and use them with one main army to lev them up.Problem solved with the peasant's.Bretonia do not pay for extra armys like the imperium thats why you take 2-3 exstra lords.
As bodeleux things were going great until they weren’t. I was winning every battle and was capable of quickly expanding with fat money. I confederated a few factions and then the world imploded. Wood elves attacked, noctilus attacked, several norscan factions, ikit claw, rogue factions. It was like a switch was turned on me. I didn’t have a strong enough military to defend against everyone and by the time I built something up the army was weak as hell to every army that was coming at me.
you might want to make a different video for Repanse, she's the most different of the bretons in her campaign... I believe she's got the best expansion options of the batch. and yes, rats are a horrible match up for Bretonians.... and Ikit is seriously scary. I usually try to rush him as fast as I can to eliminate him before he becomes a serious threat.
Yoshi Toranaga what i love about repanse is that she doesnt have the slow economic start that the other bretonians have, as you get so many ressources early on, that the ressources alone cash in easily around 6000 in the early game. If you combine that with a lot of trade agreements and start building up your farm economy, you get stupidly rich very fast. I think my record was an income of around 40000 in turn 70, with 4 fully maxed out bretonian armies running around. And as these armies were more than enough to conquer the entire desert, i just sat there on my pile of gold.
Quite a hard campaign on a very hard level ... When I kill an enemy, two new ones will appear in his place (elves, Norsk etc.). Also, the economic situation of this kingdom is very poor ...
The diplomatic technology is really useful (+30 with high elves, + 50 with empire factions) allowing you to make treaty early and securing most of your cost and border.
This was written over a year ago, on a different version of the game. Every big dlc changes the balance in this game. At that time, as Bretonnia (tiny, I wanted to play "climatically") I had to repel Ulthuan forces, which took half the map and destroyed all "bad" factions in the area. Fortunately, the requirements of the campaign are not too restrictive, so it was enough to defend the territory well and complete the final battle. Today we have some "balance" so the campaigns can probably be over before the forces of good hit each other's throats. But the previous version of the game had one big plus - The Chaos Warriors Campaign was phenomenal fun. At least for me - I was bored with the traditional TW formula.
I’m bummed, you didn’t talk about their building chains priority or industry verses fields and peasantry economics. Maybe this is post a patch or something
Started a new campaign on bretonnia, followed your way. As soon as I crushed the small force of Marienburg I did not have a substantial enough force to take the city, which gave them enough time to raise 2 full stacks against me. Meanwhile, the neighboring greens kings began expanding south. Any tips?
Probs restart if you're only that far into the campaign. its pretty imperative that you take the city and/or get rid of the greenskins (or at least it was when I played). If you werent strong enough this time then next time raise your army more on the way to marienburg and see if that helps
I’ve been playing TWW2 for a little bit now and have played through several campaigns but I think I understand more now than i did from my playthroughs. Appreciated! Do you have one of these on the Dark Elves?
I love the Unit Skins for Bretonnia and I like their roster even though next to the Empire it's lackluster. But their campaign is far too slow and boring and they are in desperate need of a solid elite missile infantry unit and maybe a higher tier missile cavalry.
You played in a moderate difficulty. When I was playing this in legendary I couldn’t even auto-resolve the battle in marienburg. This strat is only good if your playing it in that difficulty but if you do this in a hard or legendary difficulty this strat wouldn’t work.
Colonel Damneders haha hopefully you can cover the Festag FLC and DLC and become a Full Time RUclipsr! Your great at it - Remind me of a cross of JanetOnOccasion and Surrealbeliefs :) I used to have a Skaven Lord Skrolk start that was great and then they added Lokhir right where I normally expand lol - Ironically I loved Dwarfs Game 1 & Skaven Game 2 lol Always been rubbish with Greenskins though xD
Colonel Damneders Those grail knights are badass though. I was up against a gigantic army and every single one of my units died and the grail knights singlehandedly defeated like 30 units. They are basically invincible since they heal but I only got them from starting as the female lord I forget her name haven’t played in awhile. I also think Louen Leoncoeur is my favorite lord in the game. If it wasn’t for the peasant mechanic they would be my favorite but as it stands dwarves and high elves are my go to.
Colonel Damneders Yeah I also just prefer their play style they require a lot less micro than Bretonnia since they have great ranged units and front liners. I am pretty shit at the game so trying to control a bunch of cavalry is just going to end with me getting them all killed. Plus I always like dwarves in anything.
Vote on the next Guide here >> www.strawpoll.me/19293205
Not really sure I’d label this video as a “How to play” and more of a “My campaign recap”
Louen Leoncoeur running in place at the start of the video giving me strong Monty Python vibes
“My campaign recap” would be indeed a better Title for this video, not really the guide I was looking for.
The peasant economy only affects farms industry is left unaffected with the only downside that it gives you less income than farms

Thank you for keeping this guide short, and to the point. I don't have the patience to sit through all the 30+ minute guides that are out there.

+N. B. Probably would’ve helped me get to the 2000 faster lol

If you do it right you can fight the first marienberg army and take marienberg, you need to use you Pegasus knights but it can be done!

add Tyrion who confederated all of the elves and you will get my campaign
The turn number is hidden by the subscribe button literally the whole video-just wondering why.

Not yet but they’re sure t get voted for one of these days

Just go full hippogriff and kill em all
@@jix4556 But how to get that whole being poor?
I wish they had a late game Longbowman unit
so now we go all maximum farms better eh?
+Akhbar Mohammed lots of farms means lots of money so sounds good to me
2 mins in and you're already wrong. The Peasant Economy only affects farms, not industry.
You played in a moderate difficulty. When I was playing this in legendary I couldn’t even auto-resolve the battle in marienburg. This strat is only good if your playing it in that difficulty but if you do this in a hard or legendary difficulty this strat wouldn’t work.
Music is a bit too loud, but otherwise fine vid.
Noo, dont click on autoresolve when y get ambushed...
Greenskins, Norsca and Skaven Guide - Maybe leave Greenskins until the next Big Old World Update! :D
+Benjamin Mason I’m on with Greenskins due to the vote but I seem to summon the updates lol
Colonel Damneders haha hopefully you can cover the Festag FLC and DLC and become a Full Time RUclipsr! Your great at it - Remind me of a cross of JanetOnOccasion and Surrealbeliefs :)
I used to have a Skaven Lord Skrolk start that was great and then they added Lokhir right where I normally expand lol - Ironically I loved Dwarfs Game 1 & Skaven Game 2 lol
Always been rubbish with Greenskins though xD
I thought this was a guide?
"Ambushes I could do nothing to avoid." ............ Uhh do you *NOT* use encamp stance for ambush defense when fight rats? Wtf!?!
I really want to like Bretonnia but the peasant mechanic is cancer
+Quickpaw Maud same. I wanted to give them a fair chance but it’s like they’re made to show you down and limit you at every turn
Colonel Damneders Those grail knights are badass though. I was up against a gigantic army and every single one of my units died and the grail knights singlehandedly defeated like 30 units. They are basically invincible since they heal but I only got them from starting as the female lord I forget her name haven’t played in awhile. I also think Louen Leoncoeur is my favorite lord in the game. If it wasn’t for the peasant mechanic they would be my favorite but as it stands dwarves and high elves are my go to.
+Quickpaw Maud Fay Enchantress 👍 dwarves and high elves are so top tier it’s unreal

I am pretty shit at the game so trying to control a bunch of cavalry is just going to end with me getting them all killed. Plus I always like dwarves in anything.
+Quickpaw Maud battling as dwarves can be the most relaxing thing in the game lol. Just hold the line and pick them apart
Hasn't the bretonians always been irrelevant?
Bretonia is so lame not enough unit variation.
The variety is in the cavalry. Bretonnia is an equestrian faction.
if you say that emp roster is betetr then you clearly don't know anything about how to play Bretonnia.
Or i have a different opinion to you? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@ColonelDamneders Being trash with a faction is not an opinion.
@@warehouselead Ok boomer
bretonnia, their finest cavalary lose again demigryph knights, useless shitty peasant faction...
@@warehouselead Im sure you will stop being trash at some point, keep going.
this guys accent is too thick.
