((Why does everyone hate the Legion so much? 
We're nice guys, y'know, if you overlook the crucifixions, pillaging, brutality, dictatorial nature, and elitism; c'mon, take a chance on me! ))

((Now, not the Kaiser! I wanted to be the Pope crowning Kaiser.))((Poor super mutants
((I can't wait for more updates. This game is addicting, I just joined and only sent 1 set of orders and suddenly I find myself refreshing the page every few minutes for past 12h, lol))
((lol, I'm just a spectator here, but that is definitely the tell tale sign of a great forum game))
Thx for the kind words! Today it will be impossible for me to find more time in my schedule, hopefully I will be able to update somthing more tomorrow.
((If it's the NCR, I'd like the profligates crucified; Reilly and Co. should be flayed,drawn and quartered, and their remains scattered across the the far reaches of the Legion... or given to the more cannibalisticly inclined Legates...))
((If it's the NCR, I'd like the profligates crucified, and Reilly and co. flayed, please
(( Yeah? Well. If it's the Legion I want to take them all out to a nice seafood dinner and NEVER CALL THEM BACK. ))
THE WORLD-SMITER HAS SEEN THE SCALPINGS OF CHILDREN, THE RUIN OF NATIONS, THE BURNING OF NEW RENO BUT THIS IS THE MOST SHOCKING AND CRUEL THING THE GREAT KHAN'S HAVE EVER WITNESSED. Would you like a job?
Fathers of Texas are certain: whatever course the history takes, it is according to the Will of Atom, thus there is no reason for worries.
TURN 8 UPDATE #2
KINGDOM OF GAMMORIN
Viewing how the Brotherhood soldiers are in their borders and ready to invade their homeland, Gammorin realizes that perhaps he should have invested more into rising even more troops, as the fighting skills of the Scouts are legendary and a fierce fight is to be expected.
He calls the former Nightkin leader Lily Bowen to his presence, and even though she appears and bows before her new Kaiser, soon Gammorin finds out that she is the only loyal Nightkin that has remained in the Mutants lands. Apparently, all those special Mutants found out that Gammorin is no more a leader to be trusted, as the surprising change in the Mutants policies and the constant uncertainty it provoked did not fit the Nightkin goals.
Anyways, Gammorin taks Lily to search the Mutants territory for anything useful, surveying land and trying to obtain any information about the Brotherhood movements. Even though Lily is an expert using the Stealth Field Generator and manages to bypass some of the Brotherhood´s security, she lacks any strategic knowledge that could provide any real and useful information, and returns to the homebase without anything new to report.
Finally, in what some Mutants started to call “Gammorin´s Paranoia”, the Kaiser ordered once again to continue with the FEV tests with voluntary subjects, but this time offering some food and resources as a reward. Once again, no human or mutant volunteered for such a dangerous task, and in fact some of the humans recruited long ago by Gammorin as a Militia start to feel threatened and decide to flee the Mutants lands before being forced to become test subjects. (-1 Militia)
CAESAR LEGION
As many other factions involved in a war did before, the Legion has decided that any non-military action should be posponed until the current war against the NCR and the Khans finishes, and only some movements in Vulpes´ tents is detected by the neighbouring merchants. However, reports speak about some curious individuals exiting Vulpes Inculta´s tent and leaving in a western direction, which seems to be confirmed some days later by a brief NCR report speaking of some captured prisoners from the Legion who tried to spread dissent amongst their ranks. Although the report did not specify it, some eye-witnesses assure they have been already executed.
NCR
Some intercepted messages from NCR couriers seem to confirm that President Kimball has decided that the war against the Legion is now an extermination war, and that the NCR won´t stop until all of Sallow´s followers have been defeated, even if it means a new nuclear winter for America. Probably this is the reason why so little movement is detected in the Californian rear lines activity, as all production and energy is being devoted to the war effort.
ROBOT NATION
Although Capitol Wasteland is pretty deserted and few civilized people roam its streets, from time to time some bandits are sighted exiting the city, and most of them are still wandering what the hell is happening in Washington´s streets. Some of them even speak about a constant flux of robots carrying human and mutant corpses to an unknown location, others tell about some kind of robots training yard, and some chem-induced individuals have started telling stories about a robot priest and a weird church inside the city...
TURN 8 UPDATE #3
ENCLAVE
Enclave is decided not to take any risk in case of an hostile action against them, and the recent Brotherhood expansionism just reinforces the feeling that Enclave´s bases should be upgraded and reinforced. Using the same technology that allowed them to build their secret bunkers, some officers are sent to the Chesapeake Bay to start the construction.
After some weeks, they find a very suitable place to start the project, and using a natural cave as basis and some materials gathered all along the last years of eastern expansion, the new Cheasapeake Subterranean Base is finished and the complex is inaugurated by Autumn himself (new base for Enclave).
This is not the only thing that Enclave has learnt from the recent Brotherhood actions, and a similar Power Armor investigation project is about to be started. Enclave knew about the existence of the T51-b Power Armor since long ago, but never considered necessary to mass produce it as their forces were considered the best of the Wastelands. However, now that the Scouts can be equipped with such technology, Enclave will also try to develop their own T51b assembly line (2 more turn orders required), although the newly arrived Elite units are still equipped with the somehow obsolete t45 version (+1 Elite Scout Division).
However, Enclave has also its own ideas, and although a strange project related with some satellite tower inside the Adams base is cancelled due to lack of the huge amount of resources that would be needed, they develop a portable water purifier based upon the Project purity schemes, that will be carried by their soldiers and allow them to properly quench their thirst all over America without the risk of irradiation (Enclave troops supply capacity and limit increased).
GREAT KHANS
However, a lack of proper planning and a correct census does not let the Khan leaders realize that most of the hired men are former hitmen from New Reno´s families, and as soon as they earn their first payment they abandon the city and even dare to store the first produced desert buggies.
At least the military of the Great Khans keeps improving, and while a new Artillery brigade is developed at Nellis AFB and is available for orders now (+1 Artillery), the best Khan mechanics come up with a solution for the lack of punch of the Khans non-mobile divisions: the creation of some Mechanized divisions, that hopefully will combine a strong armor with the mobility of their Motorized divisions. In words of Papa Khan himself, such divisions will “make a deathclaw piss itself”…time will tell if he was right or not (Mech project started, need 3 turn orders).
RAIDERS
So, in spite that El Zorro and the Mexican Government have finally signed a truce and are now starting together, the raiders will still be able to conduct military operations in Mexican soil. The question is…will it be too late for them?
TURN 8 UPDATE #4
SHI EMPIRE
Once again, the Emperor wants to scout the island of Vancouver, knowing that probably something important remains hidden there, in what once was a secret Enclave base. The voyage reaches its end without any significant event, as the ship transporting the explorers is protected by the Shi´s Submarine, but things change once the soldiers and engineers disembark.
After decades of nuclear climate change, Vancouver is now an arid island full of tropical fauna, and a swarm of insects fly all over its beaches. Too late, the Shi expedition realizes that those insects are the deadly Cazadores, who manage to massacre all the tripulation in just a few minutes time. Only the submarine troops, watching such a dreadful event from the periscope, are able to return home, unable to help the few survivors that remain in the island, trying to hide from the poisonous flies (-1 transport).
Back in home, Shi keep being unfortunate with their efforts to remove the radioactive substances from the nearby fields, and the Emperor has to recalculate all its previsions when an impressive nuclear refuse collector is discovered beneath most of the Shi fields. Although that would mean losing an entire harvest, the farms need to be abandoned and replanted far from that spot (-1 resources next turn).
At least the Chinese refugees have managed to improve the defences of San Francisco, selecting sniper nests and even creating a subterranean network able to communicate different parts of the city via an ancient sewers system. Some even dare to comment that such actions could mean the entrance of the Shi in one of the ongoing wars…
HOUSE
After having discovered something really special in Vault 3, House decides that such an asset could be also used as a new robot factory spot, and some Protectrons are sent there to start cleaning the place and scavenging any useful resources in the nearby Fiends former encampments. Luckily, the Vault energy systems remain intact and that will enable a swift and easy IC expansion project (3 more turn orders needed).
In the Lucky 38, House keeps improving his own computerized systems and processes, and although little is known about his discoveries and investigations, the amazing amount of energy used in the last weeks suggests that something really important has been found…(private resolution).
Finally, Robert House tries also to combine Moebius´ mental and psychological works with the electrical advancements proposed by Nikola Tesla, trying to implant some kind of remote control into the Lobotomites brains. Although the first tests look promising, soon he realizes that such an invention renders the Lobotomites totally unactive and unable to process even the easiest order, and House finally discovers that the brain of such soldiers has been currently carried to its limit (cannot commission any unit next turn).
As I said, updates will take longer this week and probably on next turns, as my job situation has changed. Hopefully I will be able to fully finish the turn by monday, but I wont promise it!
