Would his plan actually have worked?
nah
This man was bussy drunk.
>>727666027Reminder a lot of people dont' get his plan, and think he just wants the legion to occupy NCR. The plan is quickly stated in-game,, but this is what it is:1. Capture Hoover Dam and New Vegas. 2. New Vegas becomes his new Rome: not a city of entertainment, but a proper capital city of thousands and a metropolis. 3. Legion continues westward and defeats the NCR. 4. Legion and NCR merge - Legion becomes the standing army and retains the NCR infrastructure and bureaucracy. 5. Exact leadership is vague - possibly still an Emperor. No word on a Senate. The Legion wouldn't be sitting around the ruins of the NCR, most of the NCR and its citizens wouldn't even notice the change in upper management, and the Legion Army would likely continue to expand across the wastes fighting tribals.
>>727666398This is what he means by Thesis - AntiThesis - Synthesis. Thesis: NCR - Democratic RepublicAnti-Thesis: Legion - military authoritarianismSyntehsis: California Rome - military authoritarian civilization (irony alert: the NCR matches the Roman Republic much better than the Legion does).
>>727666027Probably. Without the Courier's intervention the Legion likely would have taken Hoover dam and dealt a serious morale blow to the NCR.
>>727666027>>727666564Without the courier's intervention, Ulysses would have eventually fucked everyone not-legion. The long 15 would have been cut off, so Legion takes Mojave and kills all trapped ncr, but they also can't push further anymore so caesar's big plan also kinda gets fucked.
>>727666027Nah, Legion would have been fucked once they started pushing into actual NCR territory. It took everything they had just to beat the skeleton crew the NCR left behind in Vegas.
>>727666027>>727666398>>727666502>NCR goes total war because Caesar proved again and again that being defeated by him leads to extermination and Californians don't want that>all that civilian infrastructure he wants to take over turns to dust>NCR-Legion war is so brutal and destructive it's basically another nuclear holocaust>have to start a civilization from scratch, which could have been done with the other 86 tribes already, making the entire thing pointlessThe plan is retarded.Killing Caesar and convincing Lanius to give up on conquering the NCR is ironically the best path for the Legion.
>>727667308Before reaching the mojave, the legion had already been capturing ncr territory in west arizona and pushed them back to this point. Without the mojave contest, they can just continue the same strategy as before and progress. It will probably only get very hard as they approach the capital, but most of everything else is likely free, after getting through the mojave.
>>727667634you can say the plan si dubm but real world figures have done this kind of gamble before. real world dictators gamble until their luck runs out. You can see Caesar gambling and winning and well, it might blow up in his face.
