The taming of the Commonwealth - The raider war of 2289

[@Rainbowhawk1993]

I absolutely love this. This is more or less how I imagined how the Commonwealth would operate after the ending to the game. The Minutemen and the Brotherhood form an uneasy alliance to purge the commonwealth of threats while the Railroad egress to escape the Brotherhood’s wrath.

[@nexbil01]

I have some vague ideas of where to go with the railroad but probably nothing that will come up till at least the end of the year.

This is basically how my vanilla game plays, wt the addition of the RR, and it's sweet watching a bunch of vertibirds swoop in and halo drop troops when a MM or RR patrole need heavier firepower., or even Witness the AI's interacting with each other, if a patrole passes by a check point, or are in controle of POI. No need to hurry, because the AI took care of those raiders or bots or whatever, and all I gotta do is stand back, and let them have it

I wonder how the Minutemen would react if the NCR showed up in the Commonwealth.

[@nexbil01]

probably depend on how the NCR behaved. If they showed up and said "this is ours now", they would probably react badly.

[@ft5821]

@@nexbil01 I also wonder how the Minutemen would fight the NCR. Would the Minutemen adopt guerrila tactics and turn the Commonwealth into the NCR's Vietnam or would they fight using conventional warfare? Another thing I wonder is if they'd be "clean" with one another. Would the Minutemen accept an NCR trooper's surrender and make them a POW,or would they just shoot them even while they surrender,and vice versa (altho I doubt the NCR would shoot surrendering troops since they seem to have rules for that)? Because I can see some soldiers struggle to fight one another. Hell,I could see something like the Christmas Truce of 1914 happening between small pockets of Minutemen and NCR troops.

[@nexbil01]

the NCR would be at the end of a very long supply chain fed by slow moving brahmin caravans. Most likely that they could hit hard at first but would soon be running out of their own supplies and forced to scavenge which would make them vulnerable.

I figured that would be expensive as hell. Sentry bots chug down hundreds of rounds per fight and possibly power cores too. They also use legs so unless the minutemen managed to clear all roads, the sentry bots would have a hard time trying to Reach settlements like templines bluff

[@DontLook2265]

Going a similar route with my game. After the Institute was destroyed and the Brotherhood and Gunners were driven out, The Mayor of Sanctuary Hills, a guy I named Trenton Williams won the Presidential Election of 2288, with Gwen McNamara as his Vice President. In his first term, he wiped the Gunners out in the New York area and finished off the East Coast Brotherhood in the Capital Wasteland. Both territories were annexed (even Amata was elected Governor of the newly formed state of New Columbia, which is the Capital Wasteland). Williams Won re-election in 2292, then Vice President McNamara won in 2296 after defeating A Senator from North Landon (the state I’m calling the Hartford, Connecticut area) named Richard Norris. Her running mate was the Governor of Baltimore (the state bordering the Capital Wasteland/New Columbia). In her term, she dismantled the remaining Slave trade from The Capital Wasteland that retreated to the Sun Belt. Currently in my timeline, she lost re-election to a Philadelphia Senator (the Pennsylvania area) named Quinn Cunningham. He promised to focus more on domestic issues rather than foreign issues that included encouraging funding for a Police force for each state. My Hancock is still mayor of Goodneighbor, but may be eyeing a Representative Seat, or he may throw his hat in the ring in 2308 (considering how popular Cunningham is, he’ll have a better shot at winning in 2308 than in 2304) love this kind of stuff and I can’t wait to see more!

[@DontLook2265]

@@nexbil01 I’d agree. If I do get into KZbin and have the time for it one day, I’d do it. I really like focusing on the fictional “political” aspect of the Commonwealth. I just generate random names and make up backstories for them. Of course, if they’re pre-made characters, I just explain how they got into politics. Blake Abernathy for example is a Senator from Boston. The Minority party leader in the Senate is also Rosie (one of Dave’s former wives from the Republic of Dave). Meanwhile in the Council of Representatives, Abraham Finch is the majority leader, while Earnest Roe, the former Mayor of Canterbury Commons is the minority party leader. Maybe one day, I could suggest a Presidential election coverage via radio in the Commonwealth? I also happened to notice there’s an extended Presidential term limit (Hancock got three terms if I’m not mistaken). Maybe you could do a coverage of his potential successor.

Damn man! I finally found your channel again. You really have a great way to tell your story in a concise and precise way. With knowledge of the game locations, strategy, roles. Even if fallout 4 has enough recycled elements from the saga, honestly it's tiring to not see new features. Minutemen and railroad fit greatly with boston theme. Maybe, instead of the bos there could be a prewar faction similar like the real life massachusetts national guard, many ghoulified officers and members and armed and splintered, maybe having ties with the gunners and be used for the minutemen to form a federation. Supermutants only limited to Trinity, some wandering ones occupying settlements or Downtown skirmishes. You could make a diamond from the broken and half finished game that is fallout 4. For me it's been years since trying to write and continuing a long ass fanfiction. Any chance I could shamelessly steal some ideas of yours?

The Romance of The Boston Kingdoms

[@faithlesspancake4800]

So I already said that an alliance between the BoS and the MM is unlikely but I think I should explain why I think that is. This is gonna be a long comment but I like writing about fallout so whatever. Before I start explaining I should say one thing: I get that a lot of people want the BoS and the MM to get along because the BoS are cool af and the MM are the good guys. BUT the BoS are NOT the good guys. I don't understand how people are still defending them. So let explain why the two factions will never get along. 1. The MM are flawed and not all of them are selfless good guys and I know that. But you know who is a selfless good guy? Preston. Preston is supposed to show the player what a hardcore MM is. And guess what. Preston hates the BoS. If Preston dislikes/hates the BoS then the MM dislike/hate the BoS 2. The people of the commonwealth dislike the BoS and don't trust them. No one invited the Brotherhood to the commonwealth they just showed up and wanted the people to obey them. They have no respect for anyone who isn't Brotherhood. They even call the GENERAL of the MM a "civilian". The BoS don't protect settlers like the Minutemen do but they still demand food from them and have no problem with intimidating anyone who doesn't comply. 3. The Brotherhood don't care if a settlement is under MM protection or not. They'll still demand food from it 4. The Brotherhood HATES non humans. Guess who doesn't. The MM. The Brotherhood attacked the railroad just because they help synths. The BoS would never allow the MM to recruit synths , friendly super mutants and ghouls. I mean their damn leader was ready to kill one of his best soldiers/friends just because he was a synth. You really want me to belive that he would sign a treaty with a ghoul? No. Just no. 5. The BoS would never allow the MM to become powerful and they would definitely not help the MM create a government/nation with an army. If the MM destroy the institute then BoS soldiers will say things like "I don't think I like the Minutemen having this much firepower." or something along those lines. They are are clearly uncomfortable with the fact that the MM are getting more powerful. They have made it pretty clear that they want to be the ones in charge and that that they'll only allow other factions to become powerful and have a lot of technology if they have the same goals as the BoS. The MM don't. 6. I get the MM not wanting to attack the BoS because they have more soldiers in the capital wasteland but if elder maxon is killed then the BoS loose not only their leader but also one of their most fanatical members. If maxon dies then maybe the Brotherhood will realize what they're doing is wrong. But even if they don't they still wont be able to attack the commonwealth. I mean the first thing the MM do is destroy the airship. The airship took years to build and the MM destroyed it in minutes. The BoS probably wont do the same thing again. But it doesn't really matter how the BoS retaliate. Any attack on the commonwealth would probably fail. After the airship is destroyed the BoS would need to prepare for an invasion and in that time the MM would have time to get ready and become more powerful. Also almost no one in the commonwealth likes the BoS. If they attack then the people will start joining the MM to fight them. And to be honest it doesn't matter whether people will fight under the banner of the Minutemen or not because they will fight even if they don't like the MM. The commonwealth doesn't like the BoS and it has made that pretty clear.

[@nexbil01]

It's not really about factions liking each other. it's more about international politics and disliking others worse. In WW2 the western allies and the soviets worked together not because they liked each other but because they hated the nazis more. Preston may not like the brotherhood but he hates gunners, raiders, ferals, and super mutants more. Besides which, the BoS has something that he needs. The MM don't use tactics and strategy is a foreign concept. The MM started out as a militia of armed civilians. The ones that do use tactics and strategy are the BoS. Again nothing to do with liking the BoS but recognizing the need to work with them. The BoS does hate non humans but a lot of people in the commonwealth do as well. Diamond city kicked out all the ghouls, covenant was founded on the basis of hating synths, Desdemona from the RR does not trust the MM because she knows that some humans hate synths. Even some members of the MM hate synths and ghouls. So there are plenty of people in the commonwealth on the brotherhood's side on this issue. People that would appreciate the BoS position. Not to mention that the BoS have a reputation and a cachet that really no one else does. More than a few dirt poor farmers or city dwellers would love to ally themselves or work with one of the most powerful groups on the continent specially if their enemies are your enemies. Another point. After the institute was defeated there was no commonwealth. Not as a nation. There was the MM but they're not a government. The commonwealth is dotted with small independent settlements and cities but no single identity. People in diamond city and goodneighbor would not necessarily get along and opinions vary from settlement to settlement. So there is no single national identity yet. It takes a big event to forge a nation. Something that the BoS is willing to provide limited aid to. Would the BoS allow the commonwealth to rise? Yes. From the BoS point of view, a civilized neighbor is preferable to anarchy and lawlessness. We have precedent for this in game. The western BoS worked with the NCR when it first became a thing. The split did not come till later. So a stable government is preferable to anarchy that could one day spill over onto the capital wasteland. Maxson. A lot of people make Maxson out to be a crazed single minded despot that doesn't listen or negotiate. They don't remember that he brokered the deal that got the outcasts reincorporated into the eastern BoS. All the while keeping the Lyon's pride faction of the BoS happy and not splitting off on their own. In addition Maxson was raised watching both high elder Lyons and his daughter and their style of command. So Maxson is capable of listening and negotiating. Do the MM and BoS have to have the same goals? No. We right now do not have the same goals as our allies. In fact we argue with our allies all the time. But that doesn't mean that there aren't points of agreement or things that we cooperate in. As allies they run things their way in their countries but they can still co-exist with us.

[@faithlesspancake4800]

​@@nexbil01 You said that the BoS got along with the NCR but then went to war with them. Well that's exactly what I'm trying to say. The BoS got along with the ncr but when the ncr got to powerful for the brotherhoods liking they immediately went to war with them because of one disagreement (I think it had something to do with technology). And that's not the only time the BoS did something like that. The BoS came to the commonwealth and immediately started a war with the institute. A bit later they started a war with the railroad while being at war with the institute. That's just stupid. Not only that but they go out of their way to destroy arcadia despite arcadia being very peaceful and far away. Do you really think the BoS wont start a war with the MM? I mean the MM (or at least your MM) recruit non humans. That's reason enough for the BoS to start a war. You also said that the MM don't use strategy or tactics. That's kind of false. The MM aren't a proper military but they do use strategy and tactics. They don't just blindly charge the enemy. If the general starts a war with the brotherhood then Preston will tell you to build more artillery (if you don't have enough already) Then they coordinate an attack on the airship. The operation even has a name: Operation deliberate phoenix. They even manage to keep the Operation a secret. When you take the castle back Preston organizes an assault force near the castle and when you arrive at the castle you and the MM discuss what strategy you should use to take the castle back. They also use ranks like general and lieutenant. Does that sound like a faction who has no idea what tactics and strategies are? And yes I know that most of the minutemen aren't trained soldiers but most people in the commonwealth already know how to handle a gun otherwise they wouldn't be able to protect themselves from threats. And lets not forget that people can be trained. There are plenty of talented people in the MM like Ronnie Shaw and Preston or the General who can train them. You are kind of underestimating the minutemen and overestimating the brotherhoods kindness/ tolerance.

[@nexbil01]

@@faithlesspancake4800 the one problem with your argument is that you're conflating the eastern BoS with the western. Many people think that the eastern BoS is now totally independent of the west and that the western branch may not even exist by the time of FO4. One of the reasons that the eastern expeditions took place was to get rid of those in the BoS that did not agree with the hard line that the western brotherhood took. People like elder Lyons. So are the eastern BoS open minded and friendly to non humans? No as I said in my previous response they're not. Are they way more pragmatic than the western branch. Way, way more. And this goes back to the question of the eastern leadership, or in other words, Maxson. Maxson had already brokered deals to re-integrate the outcasts into his chapter and take a chapter that was broken and rebuild it. The capital wasteland brotherhood had brokered deals to distribute water along with other non-BoS groups in the capital wasteland. It's no stretch to think that Maxson is pragmatic enough to deal with commonwealth leaders. And as I said there are people in the commonwealth that would be more than willing to deal with Maxson. Strategy. A bit of a difference between dealing with 1 target, the prydwen, than dealing with 3 major gunner bases, 4 fire bases, 6 listening posts, and roving patrols all at the same time. Meanwhile managing supplies, transport, and fire support. Something that not even Ronnie has experience with. Managing a war is something that the BoS did while fighting the enclave. If the BoS is willing to help plan strategy then it would be beyond foolish to not accept their help. Ranks. The general ends up being sent on missions by his subordinate which is more bethesda's fault really because they seemingly don't know how military ranks work. But other than the mention of a lieutenant there's no proof at all that any sort of military hierarchy is used. For the most part they roam round in small groups. Am I underestimating the MM? The MM just after the institute raid? no. For the most part they're undertrained, under supplied, and more loyal to their local settlements than the idea of a commonwealth. Which as I said still didn't exist as a political entity even after the institute. The MM after the commonwealth comes into being can be all that you say but at the moment they're not. But once they're organized they can be, specially if they receive even moderate support from the BoS.

@@faithlesspancake4800 Im here a year later but i want to say something: 1-Tribal politics (they are not nations so i call em tribes) are not internet fights. You can say those ghouls are porks and you need to erradicate them, and then making an agree with to supply your troops with food, ammo and hands...human hands. I don't want to put real expamples, but history is long enough to find something similar. Ideologies are not in the sphere of international intertribe politics. That's all excuses for the plebs. 2-Tribes and nations can bring aid to each other because wothiness, and two years later putting bombs in a kindergarten in east ger...you know make a cold war. Policitcs can change so fast because no ruler had since humans are in earth integrity with himself...and they debt a lot to other people who aid those to rule. So yes, BoS can be a trustly friend today and two years later make a move to annex everything you got because "i want banana". 3-Tactics. Tactics are more than just a man who knows. Is a lot of people who knows their position in the piramidal command, and normal people are not really agree with orders...and less if they gonna die for other people orders. They know how, where and when act folowing the orders of their superiors. Is more than go there and purge, or go there and throw some arty and wait untill victory. Good officials with poor troops and/or poor subofficers are like a boxing fan who never boxxed. You know but you can't. If i need to compare the "actual" MM with something, i compare with the KMT chinese army during WW2, who were more or less well equipped, they know the basics, but they was leadered by warlords who cared more about their own lands than the war itself. And the lack of officials made them a ineficcient warband really big but hard to put in movement.
