OWB – Old World Rewards
Have you ever wondered why perhaps some of the powerful technologies of the old world weren’t quite up to snuff? Or perhaps why genius of Elijah restricted himself to simply accepting a few sets of APA instead of the taking them apart to reverse engineer them?
Well friends- Wonder no more, with this I have made a number of changes that I believe make these treasures of Pre-war America and a few post-war items truly stand up to the test.
Also is this balanced? Eh- Idk, probably not given you still need to actually survive till you can hit most of these rewards. But I don’t think it’s any less balanced then most nations once you get the ball rolling.
Below are the exact changes, spoilered in case you want to discover them yourself.
Who Clutches at Old Crowns: No longer does Elijah suffer to give this high-quality pre-war gear to 5 random soldiers under his command, now he breaks it down and learns how to reverse engineer these powerful technologies. Or in practical terms, unlocks the Schematics for APA, Gauss Weaponry and Sophisticated Air Tech
Higgs Village: The original event mentions how they can now build pre-war homes, yet given the base Mojave BOS can only get up to civilized they actually cant. So now in addition to the research bonus the Mojave also unlocks Sophisticated Construction.
X-13: In Fallout: New Vegas while collecting the parts to the stealth suit there are various schematics around, which I believe Elijah could easily use to enhance his chapter. So- In addition to the research bonuses you also unlock Sophisticated Spec Ops.
Saturnite Research Facility: The original event talks about how it enhances durability and how no one will penetrate their armor.. but it gave an attack bonus, so I replaced it with an Defense bonus.
Y-17: The original idea the event gave was a bonus to org, which while I can admit does make sense from a certain point of view- I think using it to give a bonus toward Trickle Back makes sense, so- I swapped the idea out for a Tech in the rewards tech category that gives both bonuses and a bit more, however it does only apply if you are using the Chem support.. which given your playing the Mojave BOS you probably should be.
What Remains: Once again another bonus to org, which I frankly don’t think the Mojave BOS needs given how many org bonuses you can get through the doctrines and policies, so instead it now has reinforce rate, which can be looked at as the Holograms temporarily holding the line as your reinforcements come back to support them, well that’s at least how I imagine it.
Spears of a Shining memory: The original idea for the Holorifles gave division recovery rate which, I don’t quite get personally, so I replaced it with an attack bonus.
House’s Ultimate Treasure: The Platinum Chip idea now gives a bonus to Securitrons and Support Robots instead of Heavy and Support. But Sin, the Mojave BOS doesn’t get securitrons, maybe.. maybe.. but I wonder what’s in that vault beyond the Hoover Dam. Also after some consideration I decided to not give the Mojave BOS access to the MK2 OS, sorry Elijah fans- Only the Big H gets his Super Securitrons.
