Ok, playing ahead, I learned something very important: Both the FUSA and the NCR are going to die with near certainty.  With both of those factions dead and no action from me, the American Unity will perish.  So, the question is: should I join the American Unity, knowing these factions will die, so that the dream of American Unity can continue?

As an American myself, I'm very tempted to do so.  Besides, free alliance is cool, and I won't gain the belligerance from attacking Caesar's Legions, but will rather be seen as a loyal member of the international community going to the aid of my brother-in-arms.  Unfortunately, my save is after declaring war on Caesar.  Oh well.

But honestly, does it make sense that the Reavers would join the American Unity?  They could care less about the old government, only caring about the old technology.

But since I like this idea so much, I'll just roleplay that the Reaver's assistance is bought with new technology from the FUSA.  After all, the FUSA does have both naval and air technologies, which the Reavers haven't even touched.

EDIT: Ok, I joined the American Unity.  Unfortunately, the FUSA was stingy and never gave us any of those juicy pre-war techs they had, so I let them die.

But look who's leading the American Unity now!



But this begs the question: Why would the Reavers be leading the American Unity?  How would a cult of raiders obsessed with technology become interested in restoring the old United States?

Anyone that can satisfactorily answer that will recieve some sort of (nominal) reward.  Anyone that tries to answer this question will get a unit named after them.

Maybe they realized that if they restore the USA and bring it back to it's former glory they could manufacture all the technology they currently have to scavenge for.

[EuchreJack]

An interesting theory, but as you can see in the below picture, the Reavers are quite content to salvage the wastelands:



Salvage seems to fit more into the religious theme they have toward technology.  Only the worthy, such as the Reavers, acquire advanced tesla armor.

As promised, here is your unit:



I'll try not to get you crucified fighing Caesar (red provinces).

Given what I've learned about the Reavers from the Fallout wiki, I'd say their best motivation for joining American Unity is to get one step closer to obtaining the Pre-War technology they so desire. The Pre-War World would be a lot like Eden for them, with all that advanced technology commonplace and getting more so. American Unity's members are some of the last threads of the old world, so they have to follow up on that.

One can only hope they never learn of Big MT.

Looking at the odds against you right now... Good luck~

I actually wish that Big MT was included in this mod, although it would go against the whole "Big MT not interferring with the outside world" thing.

You obviously know a lot more about my impending doom than I.  I've never played far enough to trigger the Last Battle.

I'm pretty sure Big MT is still an actual mountain at this point in the timeline, so it not being included makes sense. The Think Tank imply that they blew it up not too long before Elijah, Ulysses, and the Courier arrived.

Going to sleep soon, here is the state of my American Reaver Empire.





Note that Shi has taken over Navarro base from the Enclave, so they are significantly less powerful.

Question: What exactly is X Marks The Spot Beta? I never did find that out.

[Svarte Troner]

Behold, the New Mongolian Khanate! Ruled under an iron fist by the coolest guy on this side of the Urals, Roman Baron Von Ungern-Sternberg!





Made with Darkest Hour: Kaiserreich mod

[Digital Hellhound]

Ah, Ungern-Sternberg. My favorite mad Estonian-Russian genocidal mystic neo-mongol warlord.

I've always loved Kaiserreich, it's such a cool scenario.

[Hyo]

Agreed, Ungern-Sternberg is awesome.

Speaking of which, who's the bloody idiot that triggered the Zombie acopalypse? Tsk, tsk. (Although they're not really much of an acopalypse though. Should really be buffed.)

[EuchreJack]

That would have been Caesar's Legion fleeing my Reaver hordes.  I'm actually quite happy about it: The Zombies went to war with the Caesar/Junker alliance, and kept giving me military access through their territory.  My conquest of Caesar was shortened by several months due to this.

I'm hoping to somehow get them to join my alliance.

Question: What exactly is X Marks The Spot Beta? I never did find that out.

I don't know, sorry.

EDIT: The Chosen One appeared, and I "peaked in" on the Chosen One's army and tech.  The army is 40 divisions or so, and technology is far in advance of my own.  Improved regulars, heavy irregulars, advanced attack helicopters, etc.  I'm pretty scared.

However, I do have two advantages over the Chosen One: more industry and more tech teams.  Which means time is on my side, for now.  That could change when the Jihad starts in earnest.

I should also point out that Reaver commanders sort of suck.  Granted, they are perhaps better than some other minor factions, especially the "town" factions, but they're definitely outclassed by the Chosen One's commanders.

[EuchreJack]

Ok, the Chosen One triggered the Final War, and people are chosing sides.









I now noticably less concerned about the Chosen One.  Although not all of the factions have chosen sides, currently God Machine is the only unaligned party that would matter.  As an extra bonus, note that none of my allies brought me into war with the Chosen One.  For some reason, being the head of the American Unity didn't draw me into any extra wars: I'm only at war with the Enclave because Shi was at war with them prior to deciding to join us.

Unfortunately, making the Zombie Horde into my puppets crashes the game, so I'll have to wait for RCC to annex them.  Oh well.  My Midwest Brotherhood of Steel-Robot Nation-RCC-Shi-Reaver alliance will keep me happy!

[Hyo]

Yeah, there's an automatic event to have FUSA / NCR DoW the Chosen One, but apparently they forgot that someone else could take over. .

DoW on them yourself and let the war begin!

(Speaking of which, the Chosen One should also seriously be buffed if the human's not part of the Jihad.)
