Old World Blues - Bone Cohort

Description
16/06/2025
Version: 2.5.2d

Politics? On my Cohort?

I guess I had to read the Brotherhood, huh?





"Two brothers. That's what they were, from where did they come from? Why they were here? And most importantly... will they survive what is to come? The Oregon wont be the same..."


"I do not care what you say, the Oregon will be mine." -Borealis

The Oregon has been an uncivilized rectangle of horrors for the last 200 years. Caesar hopes to defeat the NCR in less than 230 weeks. But to do so, unbeknownst to most of the Legion, he has set up a contingency plan in the form of the Bone Centurion and his lesser brother. If they succeed in conquering the Oregon tribes and securing the north, they expect to earn a place at Caesar's side. If they fail... they'll serve as a good distraction!

Will the Twins succeed, or will the Centurion Council see to their demise?
  • Establish your Cohort! As a Legion expedition, construction is limited, and industry is even rarer. Make wise choices to ensure victory over the Oregon tribes! (Don't forget your camera!)

  • Maintain relationships between the Centurion Council, through bribe or cutthroat methods, or face the peril of a civil war!

  • Or follow Caesar's will to the letter and be named the 'Legate of the North'!

  • Determine the fates of leaders and key figures of Oregon. Will they serve alongside the Bone Centurion, or will their deaths strengthen his rule?

  • Unlock Centurion traits and secure the Bone Centurion's legacy as either the greatest figure the Oregon will ever know, using the religions, technologies, and methods of both the Legion and the Oregon tribes!!

  • Interact with a variety of characters, or go alone, and rule by yourself...

  • Extensive Narrative Elements! Illiterates abstain!

  • Slavery returns! Check the Mapmodes!

  • This is a 'Hard' mod, you might lose! But you can try again!

  • Play with the Wild Wasteland gamerule for more flavor events! (Too Wild)

Fully works with and without DLC.
Should be compatible with most mods!

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.
