It would leave the player base unhappy to charge players for something that has always been free. These people usually argue that FLC should stay FLC so people can get free content rather than always having to pay for everything. They were FLC so they can't get a paid DLC expansion, because of reasons? Calling them the 'FLC faction' is a crutch for. The truth of the matter is that nothing is stopping CA from making a Bretonnian paid DLC save for the lack of Bretonnian content to implement and GW's permission. Some may scoff at this now, but this applies to new players in Warhammer 3 who might not have the first 2 games. The same logic applies to Repanse and the other Bretonnian lords who only matter to the owners of the first two games. Being FLC matters only to the people who own either DLC. The Bray Shaman lord is FLC exclusively for people who own the Beastmen race pack and/or the Silence and the Fury lord pack. Being "FLC" according to CA is just to show new players that the game does have content updates and that Total War is not the type of game with hundreds of different paid DLCs. Yet as I point out being FLC just makes you part of the base content. That's all they've ever been and that's all they ever will be. As a result, there is a sect of the community that considers Bretonnia the FLC faction that should stay FLC. It has become a base faction for both Warhammer 1 & 2.


This puts Bretonnia in a unique position compared to the rest of the factions. As it stands now, Vlad and Isabella are base characters for Warhammer 1.īretonnia was a content update for W1. The same logic applies with any of the base factions of the first game. They were a free addition to the VCounts after launch, but being FLC doesn't matter if you don't buy the first game. For example, Vlad and Isabella are not free.

Stop thinking of Bretonnia as the 'FLC faction.'Īs with the nature of what FLC actually is, it is a content update that needs whatever DLC or Base game to actually use it.

I hope I can convince these people that Bretonnia can, should, and will get a paid DLC expansion. I've made and remade the following arguments and will probably come back and edit them with improvements if I think of any. When people bring up the idea of a Bretonnian DLC there is consistently a portion of the responses talking about how Bretonnia is FLC and should always stay FLC.
