often fought as fanatics, to the death. Soldiers of the core nationality - Romans, Mongols, Persians, etc. Most conscripted nations usually just "go through the motions" and when confronted by pointedly capable opponents, surrender at that first opportunity. This is contrary to actual History, where it has been demonstrated time and time again that draftees for the most part do NOT willingly throw their lives away just because their new masters command it. However, in FNV all legionaries are shown to be suicidally committed to the Legion. All of them were militarily aggressive empires that would conquer neighbors, and then draft the conquered nation's military forces into its own army. There are also the Aztecs, The Persians, the Mongols, the Zulus, the Napoleonic French Empire, etc. There are several obvious examples in History upon which Caesar's Legion is based, the Roman Empire being the obvious one. And swimming up the pipes (or whatever it is the legion does to get inside the dam) seems highly implausible.
And the assault was launched in broad daylight to boot (cant remember if the time depends on the player's actions). The topside of the dam is largely an open killing field with several towers, and the NCR has plenty of snipers and machine guns.
Obviously that would be quite imbalanced game wise, but lore wise, it seems that the bulk of Caesar's army should be highy ineffective except during night raids, etc.Įven the assault at hoover dam as potrayed in the game makes little sense. Each NCR trooper should be able to take on several legion recruits (guys with machetes) easily in most conditions. Sure, NCR troopers aren't exactly like US army rangers, but the service rifle is still a 5.56mm semi automatic rifle. Historically speaking, what happens when you get a bunch of guys with melee weapons to charge guys with firearms? A lot of dead natives during european colonial conquests. Most of the lower ranks are very badly armed and armored.
