Orwich's Iron Alliance 2

Description
A strange woman has shown up in New Sterling-- a witch, dressed in a strange suit of power armor none of the men recognize. She has a contract for us, but it's not like anything else we've ever done... But it'll be worth it.

Meta Details

This mod was Violet's first mod, which changed a single focus in Lanius' tree, and gave the Iron Alliance a tree. To be honest, I couldn't find what she had changed in Lanius' tree at all, so that change is now lost to time. The Iron Alliance tree had to be reworked, as a lot of the nations in the area have been shifted around or outright removed.

FAQ

Does this require any DLC?

No, it should work fine without any DLC at all.

Is this compatible with...

The mod is designed around OWB only, and while it should be compatible with most mods that don't directly change Iron Alliance, lemme know if not.

Will this be updated for...

I will do my best to keep this updated for OWB, however at some point I may eventually fall behind

What's the best way to contact you?

Leaving a comment here on the page will get you a response eventually, however pinging me on the Old World Blues Discord (@c0br4_l0rd/Lt. Orwich) will probably get you a response way faster.

I owe a great deal of thanks to the developers of Old World Blues and the excellent folks within the OWB submodding discord community-- and I especially owe a great deal to my friend Jasmine for being an incredible support and helping with some of the graphics used within the mod, and one last thanks to my boyfriend for testing it in the middle of the night whenever I was freaking out. :) This mod would not have been possible without any of these folks!

Above are the credits that Violet originally posted, however I have some thanks I wanna give myself. Specifically to her for allowing me to make this mod, as well as both Scorn and David from the RBR team for giving me an environment to learn how to mod better. Also Pogge, he didn't help here, but he's still cool af.

Likely not. I'm still playing the update, so once I'm done with that, I'll take a look at updating this.

Is this compatible with 5.1?

Fixed the leader changing issues, as well as them not starting with caravan tech.

This is a good fun little mod you got here, believable and restrained with some good writing too.

I also had another idea that I wanted to share: what if you could marry one of Caesar’s daughters and become his heir? After all, every king needs a queen! 😄

I also feel like the focus on upgrading our own clan is unnecessary. Instead, it would be much better to have a path where we form an early alliance with the Maxson Chapter.

I have many more ideas, but to summarize, I want to say this: This mod has a lot of potential. I truly hope it can one day become a beloved and high-quality mod like Enclave Reborn.

By the way, since my English is not perfect, I took some help from ChatGPT to prepare this message. I hope you don't mind.

There should also be more dialogue and interaction with the father character. For instance, the player could choose to kill him and follow a path of a schizophrenic leader, or leave him alive and occasionally take advice from him. This would add much more depth to the story.

Right now, the mod feels a bit unfinished. For example, on the Caesar path, you could create a route where Iron Alliance turns into Caesar’s power armor army. At the start of the game, we could be one of Caesar’s allies, and like how he assigns missions to Lanius, he could give us conquest objectives as well.

An alternative path where you ally with Diana and Lanius to overthrow Caesar could also be added.

In the King path, during the Dam War, NCR could offer us money to join the war, and later share technology with us.

I don't want to just dismiss your mod by calling it bad. On the contrary, I genuinely hope this mod has a future and develops, because Iron Alliance is one of my favorite nations. In my opinion, instead of focusing too much on balance, it would be better if you focused on the fun and experience it offers to the player. After all, most players care more about the enjoyment they get while playing than about perfect balance.

Here are my thoughts:

First of all, some of the focuses seem to be there just to fill up the focus tree. For example, there are focuses that only give claims on half of the country’s land or grant +2 factories. It would be much better if these focuses had a proper story behind them, fitting for the leader of a raider army.
