Better Bretonnian Knights! (WH2)

*This mod effects all Bretonnian cavalry, not just their knights!

Making use of the new Chivalry mechanic, you can improve your knights to be faster, stronger and overall better! On it’s own it can make your cavalry almost as fast as some of the wood elven cavalry, with the strength to yell "Cash me oside Mel Gybsun!" and have Mel Gibs…err Orion actually think for a second before snaping your neck right then and there.

Should be pretty good to go with everything. I made it to be as compatable as possible, and the only db table this modifies is the effect_bundles_to_effect_junctions table. If another mod you have is using this table, there may(?) be problems.

(should be) SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE!

-This mod was created because I, as a non-table top player, had heard from the lore that the best cavalry in the old world (ignoring the blood knights as a one-off) was hands down from Bretonnia. After getting my hands on the, admittedly very cool looking, Bretonnian cav, I was quite underwhelmed. Not only were they only slightly better than most empire knights, I was finding myself ripping my hair out as my hyper-elite grail knights struggled to run down wood elven infantry (I think most of the problem with them was trying to fight with cavalry in a forrest but YOLO right?)! So to fix some of these problems, I’ve made them borderline OP (or really from what I’ve heard from the lore background videos on youtube, the norm for the Bretonnian Cav).
-It is therefore NOT LORE FRIENDLY but rather ‘inspired’ by lore!
-I had originally intended to just go in and change each of the knights to be faster, but after messing around for a bit, decided that this would both A.) be easier and B.) be more compatable with mods.
-This is intended to be ballanced by the only wood elven cavalry using horses having 95 speed while grail knights only get 75. With a chivalry level of 801+, grail knights will be close to the stock standard wood elven horse archers, with actual horses, not those magical elk things.

~Since I cannot make a version uniquely tailored to everyone, this mod is easily edited in the "Pack File Manager" which can be found with a quick googe search. If you do not wish to edit it in that, then choose one that is relatively close to what you want. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE 1000 VERSIONS OF THIS MOD ON THE WORKSHOP. That isn’t to say I won’t make one for you, it might just need to be unique enough for me think it is warranted. So far I think there is a good range of options 🙂

Thanks!

If there are any questions or concerns, I will do my best to answer them. Please just realize that I am a busy person, and it may be a bit before I respond. My life doesn’t revolve around these mods, nor do I want it to. Thanks, and enjoy!
