"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!

Recommended Mods:
- Wider Events for those with small resolutions. (Most of the mod events fit the screen, so it shouldnt be needed.) Thanks to Samwiz.
