Why does this mod change the portrait for Andrea Brixley? For the Maxson Expedition?

You turned the Wild Wasteland option on

Why does the country turn into the "Boner Cohort" and Borealis is now a pony?

Hey! @Qazaq Handyğy sorry for the delay of my answers. Just been a bit busy.

The whole time limit is what makes the nation work and be fun. You do not have time, both in the plot and the gameplay to do everything. You gotta make sacrifices and fail in other parts if you want to complete your task!

The Council is also there to stop you from bobbling like your average OWB nation, both mechanics work in tandem to make the whole mod work.

There's an easy mode decision when you start the mod, it wont change the time limit but it will help with the balance of power and the debuffs of the nation.

I hope you have a nice day!

Would be a lot better off with an option for just disabling it entirely or at least making the time limits and requirements more gentle tbh

Yeah after giving it a second go the council politics mechanic is just tedious to the point of being genuinely insufferable

Cool mod but it's kind of insane how many focuses you have to get through. I understand wanting it to be difficult but the amount of shit you have to do with the strict time limit you have is ridiculous

And finally about Caesar, I kinda scripted it that way so it would be your 'final' and hardest adversary. If Caesar dies and the legion fragments it's just a stomp, no matter who wins and so on, and the Bone Cohort is supposed to be hard... I mean, or atleast not easy!

After all the Bone Cohort does not touch any other nations, except that. But I could change it so you can still do the Game Rule and he will die.

I would love you to join our discord so we can talk more. I have soooo many things to say about the tierlist HAHAHA!

@New Willinium Hey! Nice to see you Willinium, I love your reddit posts, but as I am not able to post there, we can never talk u.u

1) It's part of people never actually playing the mod and going off hearsay, as you might have noticed, a lot of people think this mod is something that its not. So I have no clue why they say that. In the literal pre alpha versions when I started making it, Borealis was going to have wife choices, but that idea got scrapped because everyone kept chosing Hannah. And then it just made sense to focus on her.

2) You can! In Isaias case, it's a very secret way of doing it, because hes such an horrible guy that there is only one way... To Bribe him with another woman! Port Maw's leader, Granger, has a different portrait in the mod! Thus, if you didnt bribe or kill him, by the time you recruit Granger into the Cohort, you can use her and then Isaias will become a better/worse person, depending who you ask!

Also is there a way to guarantee Caesar dies? I've done the mod about 4 times now, and have yet to be able to play the focus where Caesar dies taking Vegas. The actual guarantee from the default OWB mod does not seem to work when this is activated.

So hey, just checking in to say I really enjoyed this update, though I do have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering.

1) Frequently I see folks talk about this sub-mod as if it's become a dating simulator, but insofar as I can tell from numerous playthroughs you can only "Romance" Hannah. Who else can you supposedly romance? And if there are others how do you unlock that feature?

2) Is there a way to actually persuade the entire Centurion Council to acquiesce with your decision to give women full and equal rights? I know that you can persuade Corbylys twice over through your foci tree, Defectum can be mesmerized, Saltus just does not care, and Isaias seemingly can never be persuaded that giving women rights can be a good thing.

Which makes sense considering Isaias whole character and *deal*, but still.

Is this a thing where if you place them as one of your second in commands above the other Centurions that they'll give you more wiggle room?

@Toadvine I was really busy yesterday and I only saw this because someone mentioned it, you made me laugh so much and someone even made a meme in my discord.

Apologies accepted, there is no need to apologized, everyone can have a heated HOI4 moment.
I am very glad you enjoyed it and I suggest you to join the discord to talk more about your experience!

Oh, and I was like a full glass of green apple schnapps deep when that all happened, too. MB

2/2 I imagine, with my limited experience from the mod, that the idea is to assassinate or bribe him between his last and second-to-last step. But the sheer time it takes to take care of the centurion council problem means that unless you're leaving saves every quarter year it seems super easy to soft-lock yourself as I did.
I know I can, and I will, just try again with more knowledge, and most of my frustration was that it a) happened at 1am and I had to be up at 7 for work and b) I'd had a very unsatisfying day leading up to that, but still I'd hate for this to happen to other players, especially ones less obsessed with OWB that may get turned off from the experience entirely (happened in base mod to a friend who refuses to play now).
Again, thank you for your work in making such a unique experience, and I am sorry for the harsher of the words I said last night.

@OwnZar and devils_ninja, it was asshole sunglasses man. For the creator, I've cooled off from last night and want to apologize for the sounding rod comment. I won't remove the original comment, I'm not a coward, but I do want to say some more.
First, this IS and amazing mod. The mechanical side of things, from managing slaves to raiding territory, is deep and satisfying (lmao). The story-writing is the best I've read for OWB and it's submods, and the character detail given to the cast is believable and interesting (twink Frumentarii and all).
Now, reading around I see that there are multiple ways of ending up like Joshua Graham but from what I gather most of them seem recoverable via loading a previous save. It's your mod, your decision obviously, but death by mr sunglasses reaching his "final form" really does feel like a punch to the gut. 1/2

I assume Toadvine was killed by the funny Odious King, I am 90% his focus line is broken and you can't finish it like you used to be able to

@Toadvine But who killed you.
The shady looking Ghoul or the shady looking sun-glasses wearing guy?

@Toadvine You know what they say, reading helps.

Screw you. I waste 5 goddamn hours of my day enjoying this just for an instant game over screen because I didn't read the *fine* text of a single focus I took at the BEGINNING of the run. "Oh but you should know not to trust him, he seems so shady" I don't care, why the hell is there a focus that puts you on a timer to simply LOSE THE GAME. It takes so long to sneak up on you that there's nothing to be done about it, no saves will be remotely far enough back to try and scrounge up a victory. Go use a sounding rod without lube

Gigachad

Hey guys! I am finally back from my vacation, I havent seen that many bug reports and honestly, if you have a bug, please join the discord so we can give it a look!

Thanks for enjoying the mod!

I got a pipeline error on one focus event chain but on nothing else, I have quite a few other submods so probably nothing to worry about on your end, just wondering what incompatibilities this mod has with other submods

Like now for some reason my saves turn me into Respublica Oregonis and changes all my settings.

I have spent about a week playing the mod and I do love the narrative and the story. It does feel like a better fleshed out Legion presence in the north. I have just been having a nightmare of a time trying to have fun due to a lot of RNG and scripting issues. The decisions to make Arroyo declare war on smaller states if they are your vassal auto reset and nothing happens, I have had strike at Lost Hills constantly reset, I have gone the full Legion route and Caesar still declares war on me at a scripted time, and loading earlier saves on story mode deactivate story mode.

This is not a critique of your mod, but a funny quirk of OWB that I found hilarious and thought I'd share.
So, the Mojave Brotherhood and Mojave Territory were trapped in a brutal trench warfare type fight to the point that the Legion is suppost to attack the Dam the first time, and since the Mojave BoS was still there it was a declaration of war instead of a border war. However they declared war on the the Mojave Brotherhood AND Mojave Territory which brought in the NCR. A war with the Legion steamrolled the NCR in. So by late of 2077 the Legion won the War and annexed the ENTIRE NCR leaving both my Bone Cohort and Lanius' Cohort sitting there like "What now what? What was the point of us?" XD
So, that was an unintentional, if hilarious, run ender.

loving the mod and I understand that its meant to be hard but the amount of different time countdowns and things you need to track and potential hidden issues is really offputting I think they should be better consolidated somewhere or toned back, I had about 4 ticking events I had to keep track of and it just became too much to do and it locked me out of a run.
I would argue to make a decision tab where you can spend money to have equipment shipped over from the legion major whilst youre still loyal and have differing tiers, perhaps even buyable troops as equipment became such an issue on the basis 250/500 equipment is nothing and the slaves have to be invested elsewhere imo

There it is, sorry for the lateness, going in a trip soon, so please DO NOT BREAK THE MOD.

any prevision of when the hotfix is coming? I'm wondering if I should start playing now

fantastic mod

@Effigies As i undrstood by events, it's connected with Marrow Drinkers mirror device

@Effigies I found the problem and I am releasing a mini patch fixing some issues pretty soon!

After i complete focus to hela region i cannot use it on the core lands

Hey guys! Remember to join the discord if you have short questions!

@BluFIre What do you mean? The music is great!

@Effigies You only unlock repairing a state later on :)

Don`t have button to repair state after enslaving it . Maybe bug

@Effigies give wife.

how i can bribe defectum

this is a great mod but i hate the main menu music lol

How i can get mom of the twins , what should i do ? Do i need to give women rights ?

Yes, it will be updated. The mod DOESNT work for now and I could throw a quick fix, but we are working the last kinks of the update and a few things.

Will this be updated to OWB: Rocky Mountain High update?

holy fucksical this mod is amazing 100/10 wish i was better at the game to enjoy it better

Absolutely love this mod. I honestly have 0 criticisms or even nitpicks for it, as literally every single aspect of this is great, and it makes for an all around, solid and enjoyable experience.

@ziege I am very glad that you are happy, if you got more questions, join the discord!

See ya!

ahh, worry not mate! also i may or may not have confirmed that it was playable myself, and may i say its bloody amazing!

@Ziege It's still playable! Of course not updated in a while, because I was going to release an update soon, but due OWB updating this 7th of May, it will take a bit more, so I can make sure everything works wonderfully!

Is this playable still or not?(because it says it hasnt been updated since 2024)

@Mezner Be free to join the discord, you dont need to join every single ass random discussion, but its a good place to ask things related to the game and see the teasers :3

But its something I have noticed too, that you cannot build at all. It's a bit strange and I need someone to send me a savegame so I can check it out. (It doesnt matter because at that point of the game, you have all the mils you would ever want.)

Also. I am playing your mod with better Ideas. Maybe this is the cause of some of my problems. Either way one more question. I cannot "build" any Mils or Civilian factories. Even as the Hegemony.

Alright. Maybe... Maybe I'll join the discord, lol. I'm sorry but I'm in like 10 mod discords for games. I have another question / update. The Washington Brotherhood for some reason could never finish its war with its native neighbor to its immediate east. I was able to aggressively push and take most of Oregon. NCR had a civil war. Ceasar never declared war on them? I had to. Then I went my own way. I am now the Hegemony. Ah.. Some questions. Some of the immediate choices relating to the constitution and other focuses. They hit Stability and War Support VERY HARD. -50% to both for one focus? Jesus. I'm curious as to how that makes sense. Mod is still fun, very much appreciated. I enjoy creating the synthesis that The Legion main path never offered.
