the sfo submod is gone.

is there a sfo version of this mod?

A unit resize submod could be possible ? Heros look like giant compared to theothers from "Total unit Resize." Thanks.

hell yes, give us Bertrand the Brigand! He could be like a horde faction (the Bowmen of Bergerac) that roams around bretonnia. You could also make his buddies Hugo le Petit and Gui le Gros legendary heroes and/or followers

@maggartmgm You mean Bertrand the Brigand?

LL robin hood when.
maybe call him
robin les hoodlum

Hi ! Thank you for your work, but could we get an update please ? :)

Great mod, could it work with unit resize ? Because right now he is a giant in my army compared to others lords and the Friar.

@Brosheezi Sure, sounds good.

@maffers, Hey, I am creating a compatibility mod for Bretonnian: Errantry War, and I would like permission to add Bretonnian Brigands and Bretonnian Friar. The compatibility mod adds some units to the mercenary recruitment mechanic for Bretonnian factions. No unit copying. It just adds units to unit_sets, and adds their recruitment details into a script table. Also the agents would be recruitable from the horde.

Is this SFO oriented or is it ok for Vanilla? Do they break balance too much? I noticed Brettonia can have a serious issue getting out of Peasant armies when the map is randomized for example.

@Alan When modding units you have to enable the unit to be recruited for each individual faction. I added the units for all of the base game Bretonnian factions, including AI only minor factions. If you are using a mod enables playing as one of the factions that are already in the game, you should be able to recruit the units, but if you're playing as a completely new modded faction then you won't be able to recruit them.

Okay, I think I found out what the issue is
You can only build these bastards in strategic locations
Paravvon, origo and all the vanilla starting lords start in a settlement with strategic locations
The rest does not @Maffers

I tried starting as the lord that has bonus to forest battles, but could not build the chain

The mod seems to work with Mixu's lords. Currently play the Knights of Orgos and I can recruit them.

Hey, do you think you could make this work with Mixu's lords? The building chain doesn't show up for anyone else except the vanilla brettonian lords

Hello again Maffers! Thank you so much for the mod!

For SFO users submod is up.

Hi ! Could you make the faceless heroes less tall ? With a normal size ? They look like giants near other soldiers.

@Commander Xillian They don't

Do they cost peasant population? Seems a little funny if they do, you're creating a demand for criminals, so workers are leaving to try and get your letter of marque.

good job!

@totalwarsuperbeast I did just notice that the new building chain is not buildable in Rapanse's starting region for some reason, but it is buildable in every other region I think. I'll see if I can fix that.

@totalwarsuperbeast I just checked and its working for me with Repanse. Are you playing Mortal Empires or Vortex? Also you may have another mod that is conflicting with this mod. You could try disabling other mods, especially mods that add or modify Heroes or other units.

THIS MOD DOES NOT WORK WITH REPANSE JUST SO YOU KNOW.

Needs to be a way to add the units to "Mixu's Mousillon" so you can recruit them as Mallobaude!

I'd love you to make a Bertrand the Brigand legendary lord/faction, like, a bunch of peasant focused bretonnian rogue armies making bandit coves and fighting the nobility!

@maffers Yeah, but Paladins and Damsels are part of the Bretonnian "core" identity. Faceless are more on the sidelines.

cool mod, awesome job

@chog Brigands (including crossbows) were tabletop units in 3rd/4th edition Warhammer. Herrimaults and Faceless are referenced in Knights of the Grail: Guide to Bretonia (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay). The mounted versions were not in the table-top, but I think it makes sense lore-wise that brigands would make use of horses if they could get them.

@cybvep
1. Both Paladins and Damsels caps are increased by tier 3 buildings so Faceless are only as spammable as the base game heroes are.
2. Caps do sound kind of interesting, I might make a separate version of this mod that adds caps.

are these unite loreful?

Food for thought:
1. Consider moving the +1 Faceless capacity to tier 4. It shouldn't be a common, easily spammable hero IMO.
2. I still think that caps would be perfect for the new units (generous for Brigands, low for Herrimaults). It's always fun to make a choice between chivalry and more units unaffected by the Peasants' economy system. Also, Faceless could have mutually exclusive skills giving more caps for the selected unit type. Good for balance as well since Bretonnia has no supply lines. If you think that caps for everything are too much, then maybe just for Herrimaults?
3. It could be interesting if the Brigand Camp increased money gain from sacking and battles in adjacent regions (like some Norscan and WE outposts), but gave small diplomatic penalties with Order factions.

Nice work! Always happy to see the lesser appreciated factions get some well thought out Roster expansions. (Without overdoing it)

Love the unit mods you've been putting out lately for Bretonnia! Will you be working on more in the future? This old mod by Willemsen might have some ideas if you want to look at it:

@Reg Sure

Greetings Maffers! I’ll be asking again permission to create a submod for sfo to your mod. :)

This as a horde faction would be fun AF i think

Awesome! I've been waiting for a mod that does an updated version of Darok's faceless mod, thank you and keep up the good work!

@maffers Can you make a version or a submod that makes this compatible with the Dukes of Bretonnia mod? Specifically Bertrand the Brigand.

@Rhalius I was planning on making a combo mod but it takes some time to fix bugs that happen when certain kinds of mods are combined.

The Faceless has 2 different face models each with 2 cloak color variants (green and brown).

@Gosudar Sure, go ahead.

@cybvep I agree with most of these and have updated accordingly

Great to see the Faceless there as well

king, you should make a brigand faction with a faceless lord

Ha! Bertrand The Brigand ^-^

Awesome mod! I hope in the future someone could make a Brigand Horde faction to roam around raiding and pillaging! Great units!

I like the idea of the faceless, will you maybe do a pack later with just heroes, combining it with the friar and maybe more new heroes?

I feel like with the friar and faceless, you might have the start of a little fellowship of heroes there.
Does the faceless have appearance variations? The more the better.

Hi, can I, with your permission, translate this mod into Russian?

Really good idea !! Adds flavor to bretonnia !!

More suggestions for consideration after testing:
1. No peasant cap for Brigands. That's the thing - they are outlaws, they are not working the farms. They should have separate TK-style caps instead which can be increased by building more camps.
2. All Brigands should have the expendable attribute. Nobody cares if they die besides themselves.
3. Brigand camp should decrease chivalry like the brothel.
4. No Paladin voiceovers for the Faceless if possible. It's better if they don't speak at all.
5. Faceless should gain Woodsman and lose Encourage.
6. Faceless should gain sth like +4/5 speed, ATM they are not faster than Paladin on foot. LP from 70 to 65 because Paladin have 65.
