About this mod

The 5th Cohort returns with more quests and a better landscape! Venture to the Reno Valley Basin and assist either the NCR or the Legion in conquering the region. Includes vendors, LOTS of weapons and armor, and some cool extra stuff to do.

Permissions and credits
Before I even begin talking about my mod, I wanna give a huge applause to Skevitj, because he greatly helped me out with compiling scripts and helping me work out bugs with this mod. THANK YOU!

NOTE: I am willing to hear constructive criticism, but as long as you have downloaded it first and played it through. Don't come to my mod and criticize it if you haven't even played it.
NOTE2: The Salvatores quests are not done yet. I wanted to release the Legion quests first. They will be done soon.

This mod adds a whole new world space you can travel to and the option to fight with either the Legion or NCR to capture this valley from the opposition. Both have side quests that build up to it. This mod is very difficult. You should be at least level 20 + to do it or just have a massive inventory of powerful weapons. The entire world has been redone, adding grasses, more rocks, and the world has been cluttered a little bit better.

Storyline: Shortly after the Battle of Hoover Dam, Caesar realized he would need more than sheer manpower to overun the NCR in the Mojave Wasteland. So almost immediatley after defeat, he ordered Praefectus Aelius to take one of his six cohorts to navigate behind the NCR's lines, into the Reno Valley Basin. Praefectus Aelius took with him the Fifth Cohort, Caesar's most disciplined, organized, wealthy, and lethal division, to complete this operation. Only recently, an NCR scouting party had picked up their presence. Their response was immediate and swift. They sent over a platoon to hold down the perimeter until more forces were able to prevent the sneak attack by Aelius. This is where you step in. Whether you want to beat back the Legion from the basin or help them in their conquest, the choice is yours.

Key Figures:

Praefectus Aelius: Be careful around him. Not only is he very aggressive, but also bipolar. Be careful what you say to him. He also likes speaking the native Legion Latin. Try to find a Latin to English dictionary around their camp to help communicate with him.
Major Carpenter: Commander of the NCR forces in this basin. Very stressed, but still a very confident officer who won't take crap from anybody.
Alejandro Salvatore: Boss of the Salvatores Crime Family here. Assertive when he needs to be, he holds his moral and family values, despite how corrupt they may be, above everything else in his business.

Location: The entrance to it is south of Jacobstown. To begin the NCR quest, just talk to the NCR trooeprs. To begin the Legion quests, just talk to a Senior Centurion. Note that you will have to pass through the NCR Command Base to get to the Legion Base, so you'll need to bring a disguise or kill the NCR Scout Trooper near the entrance.

This mod adds:
-An NCR questline to defeat the Legion
Includes a field hospital where you can buy medical supplies, and also a gunmaster in the field HQ who can sell you ammunition.
-A Legion questline to defeat the NCR
-A third faction, the New Reno Salvatores Crime Family, who will soon have a questline of their own. For now, they're just a base with lots of people, weapons, and chems.

-New Legion Forces:
Legion Deathclaw: Self explanatory
Optius Legionary: Low health (recruit health) but packs massive weapons
Saggitarius Legionary: Medium health, carries a sniper rifle
Imagniferus Legionary: Kind of like a more powerful Vexallarius, but actually affects Legion confidence around them if they die
Senior Legion Centurion: A Legion Centurion on steroids. Massive health, massive damage, but only two of them

-New Weapons (no new meshes for them though)
Machete Dimicatio: (Between normal machete and machete gladius in strength and damage)
Machete Compretus: (Massive damage, greater reach, but less health than a machete gladius)
Claymore: heavy, massive damage, chance of knockdown with each strike
Service Rifle Mark II: Fully automatic service rifle. Has medium fire rate with base damage


-Your own house outside the fray hidden in the valley.
Your house has:
-vending machine (put in money to get special processed foods)
-medical dispenser (put in money to get medical supplies)
-cooking oven, which works like a campfire
-Bedroom, with lots of posters
-two weapon/armor rooms
-Reloading Bench along with a Workbench
-LOTS of containers

-A set of secondary valleys that have no Legion or NCR forces, but has an abundance of Bighorners and Fire Geckos in it. Perfect for laid back hunting.

Notes:

-During the massive battles, I have made a few scripts to help it run better, but you will still need to minimize the amount of stuff running on your computer to help it run even better. You're going to be fighting more than a hundred legionaries inside that base, or facing dozens of NCR forces along with dozens of Legionaries in the NCR base. You'll need every bit of power you can.
-However, if you still see anything wrong with my mod (walls missing, floating trees, rocks) send me a message and I will fix them.
-During the final battles, you will also notice that a few NPC's may be walking into random walls. Apologies for that, but it's an unfortunate byproduct of the complex scripts. There's nothing I can do about it. Sorry :(

Installation Procedure:

Unpack the file out of the Winrar folder into your Fallout NV directory.
