The Dukes of Bretonnia
This mod adds 6 lore friendly Legendary Lords to all Bretonnian factions (custom battles and campaign). They require some small task to be completed before becoming available for recruitment. Each has a custom skill tree, textures and textured mounts (barded warhorse, royal pegasus & hippogryph). Balanced around vanilla, no other versions planned yet.

I’d really appreciate some feedback on skill trees and balance!

– Gilon d’Aquitaine
Gilon d’Aquitaine is a renowned Grail Knight and the Duke of Aquitaine. He was said to be a great leader and veteran of a dozen campaigns.
– Is immune to magic
– His skill tree contains some buffs when fighting against vampires, reduced attrition from vampire corruption as well as a passive ability, which greatly increases morale and survivability of nearby friendly units.
– Has 2 unique ancillaries: "The Giant Blade" & a royal Pegasus called "Fulminer"
– Tancred II de Quenelles
Tancred II, Duke of Quenelles is a fearless Grail Knight who became a renowned hero and leader, protecting Quenelles from its foes for decades.
– His skill tree grants him and his army different buffs when defending, fighting in own or allied territory and when fighting against greenskins, vampires, skaven and raiding armies.
– Is immune to psychology and grants this attribute to all Knights Errant & Knights of the Realm in his army.
– Has 3 unique ancillaries: "Blessed Draught", "Blade of Couronne" and "The Grail Shield", which reduces defensive capabilities of nearby enemy undead units while making them unable to move.
– Theodoric de Brionne
Theodoric is the current Duke of Brionne and a fierce warrior, wielding his great battleaxe to deadly effect.
– His skill tree is focused on hero units, granting increased charge bonus for his army as well as some provincial buffs.
– Hagen de Gisoreux
Hagen is the stalwart and virtuous Duke of Gisoreux, a Grail Knight and close companion of King Louen. The Duke is utterly committed to the ideals of knighthood, even more so than most Grail Knights.
– His skill tree buffs all knights in his army, grants him and his army boni when fighting against vampires and when fighting in forests.
– Folcard de Montfort
Folcard de Montfort is a fearsome warrior who hardly ever fights on horseback. He genuinely seems to care about peasant villages and tries to relieve them when they are under attack.
– His skill tree contains buffs when fighting against greenskins as well as some improvements for peasant units in his army.
– He has one custom ability granting him armour piercing damage and bonus damage vs infantry.
– Has no mounts, but can unlock a greatsword as a 2-handed alternative weapon, increasing his melee damage and range at the cost of reduced melee defence and losing shield block.
– Bertrand le Brigand
Bertrand is a legend not only amongst the peasant folk, but also amongst the more just and noble dukes and lords of Bretonnia. Tales say that he was a poor peasant who came from the lands of Bergerac.
– Horde character with 4 unique units (Brigands armed with Spears & Shields, Greatswords, Bows and Crossbows)
– can raid & ambush without losing chivalry (negative traits still apply)
– Has 2 unique followers as well as 2 custom skills
– Recruiting Bertrand unlocks the "Bowmen of Bergerac" RoR unit
– Brun3125: a very talented artist who offered helping with 3D models and textures to overhaul the visuals of the mod.
– Mixu: for inspiration and creating 2 legendary lords mods, which were really helpful when writing the script.
– Vandy: for helping me out with some advanced scripting.
– Flamboyant Schemer61, for balancing the mod for SFO and creating a submod
– Factory Worker for inspiration and awesome ideas for Folcard de Montfort, as well as providing excellent feedback and support
– Crisord: for improving Bertrand’s hat textures.
