Content pack: Bretonnia (Free-LC). Immortal Empires ownership
- Bretonnia is free in Immortal Empires, including all four Legendary Lords. Access through Warhammer III or a Lords of the End Times pack includes the race; a separate Warhammer I or II purchase is unnecessary.
Factions and leaders
Couronne
Leader: Louen Leoncoeur.
King Louen Leoncoeur rules from Couronne. Choose the king for a melee leader at the head of Bretonnia’s knightly armies.
Bordeleaux Errant
Leader: Alberic de Bordeleaux.
Alberic’s Immortal Empires expedition sets out from Bregonne on the coast of Lustria, taking the Duke of Bordeleaux’s Grail Quest overseas.
Carcassonne
Leader: The Fay Enchantress.
The Fay Enchantress leads Carcassonne. She represents the Lady of the Lake and supports her army through Life magic.
Chevaliers de Lyonesse
Leader: Repanse de Lyonesse.
Repanse leads a crusading force on the Coast of Araby. Her Water Supplies system helps armies travel through the desert.
Why choose Bretonnia?
Knights deliver the decisive attack while infantry and bowmen give them time and room to manoeuvre. Keep a mounted reserve, draw enemy units into an engagement, then strike an exposed side. Repeated charges need an exit route; a cavalry regiment surrounded by infantry has lost much of its freedom.
Peasant Bowmen provide supporting fire. Knights of the Realm bring a lance charge. These roles work together: keep the bowmen protected and avoid sending every mounted unit into the same crowded fight.
Chivalry, peasants and vows
Chivalry tracks the conduct of your campaign. Battles and campaign decisions can change it, and greater chivalry brings benefits and access to the Green Knight. Consider the chivalry consequence shown on a decision alongside its immediate reward.
The Peasant Economy links military levies to agricultural labour. Recruiting too many peasant units can harm farm income. Watch the peasant indicator as you expand armies, especially when adding bowmen or replacing losses.
Knightly Vows give characters a progression of pledges to fulfil. Their rewards matter when supporting knightly armies. Choose a pledge that fits the campaign you are actually fighting, and review a new commander’s vows before transferring cavalry to that army.
Paladins, Damsels and companions
A Paladin adds a melee hero to a Bretonnian army. A Damsel adds Beasts, Heavens or Life magic. Louen, Alberic and Repanse can use a caster alongside their own melee role; the Fay Enchantress already brings Life magic, so consider what another caster adds.
Repanse’s named companion is Henri Le Massif, a Paladin. The Green Knight is a separate legendary champion associated with chivalry. Neither is an additional selectable Legendary Lord campaign.
Four Bretonnian stories
Louen is king at Couronne, the Fay Enchantress speaks for the Lady at Carcassonne, Alberic takes Bordeleaux Errant to Bregonne, and Repanse holds Copher with the Sword of Lyonesse. All four are free with the race.
The Old World year 2276, with fourteen dukedoms, is an earlier tabletop present. Louen's crowned reign is the later kingdom the game uses.
