Description
OWB - Darkness Falls
------------------------------
11th July 2025
- Removed custom bookmarks as it was causing compatability issues with other mods.
- Fixed a focus description bug where east and west were the wrong way around.

Compatability fix for submod OWB - More Custom Paths.

14 November 2024 - Hotfix
- Updated for compatibility with OWB update 5.0.10 and HOI4 1.15
- Temp fix for missing icon for Within The Blizzard. Affects vanilla OWB too.
- Went back to vanilla high elder promotion event when seizing control of Lost Hills. Should see less instances of Immortal not being in charge.
Let me know of any issues here or on Discord.

19 August 2024 - Hotfix

5 August 2024 - Hotfix

3rd June 2024 - Version 4.1 - The Northern League
WashBOS:
- Added a dedicated focus tree section for The Northern League. The player can now invite the Broken Coast to the Northern League, just like the AI.
- Lots of bug fixes for edge cases relating to decisions and focuses by other nations.
- Oregon Chapter should no longer steal your Montana puppet.
- If Lost Hills falls before you join the Western BOS, you can take up the mantle of the BOS.
Timberline:
- Re-jigged the Pilgrim focuses. Should work much better for the AI now.
- Lots of bug fixes for edge cases relating to decisions and focuses by other nations.
- Can now choose between Montana and Dakota Chapter. If everyone dies early, you can go it alone too.
------------------------------
4th March 2024
- Updated for 5.0 compatibility. Let me know of any issues through comments below or on Discord.
- Added event for WBH when The Cause disappear
- Changed Bone Dancer focus to only be available if WBH actually owns it (not owned by allies)
- Added a Brotherhood of Steel bookmark, so you can easily pick BOS nations while DF is running
------------------------------

Darkness Falls on Oregon. Can Abel, Bear Bunyan and the Timberline stand against The Immortal?

Welcome to Darkness Falls 4.0, featuring a revamped Washington Brotherhood tree, an expanded Troll Warren tree and a brand new unique Timberline tree!
Over 500 new focuses, 50+ new events in a tightly linked story.

As The Immortal, delve into the mysteries of the P-1 complex, reforge the remnants of Lance Squadron into a true Brotherhood of Steel nation, and then decide your own fate: Seize power in the Lost Hills, become Absolute Elder in Seattle, or support the Lost Hills as they turn the Western Brotherhood of Steel into the mightiest faction in the wasteland.

As The First super mutant of the Warren, accept Timberline aid and advance your technology, so that you can better stand against the Immortal. Learn how to engage in diplomacy and invite fellow Super Mutants to your faction: Thradd's Chimerean Pact and Whoz Land. Or join forces with the Timberline, who may have a proposal you can't refuse: The return to Mariposa backed by the steel legions of the Oregon Chapter!

The Timberline stands at a crossroads. After integrating The Cause remnants, what path will it choose? Betty and her super mutants wish for a clean start, as the Northwestern Unity. Dipping is voluntary. The Seraph Pilgrims have little use for mutants. Their leader pushes for closer ties to both The Children of the Gate, and the Seraph Lords to the south. Should the Rotpurgers survive, they too can embrace the path of the Pilgrim. The true faith will come to the rest of the world, by fire or sword. In Walla Walla, Bear Bunyan sees the NCR as his best hope for survival. He is preparing an expedition to make the long journey to Shady Sands. With a bit of luck and a bit of aggressive diplomacy, the Oregon Territories will form the northern frontier of the expanded NCR. Cascadia needs to be civilized, one way or another.
Unless they turn to The Cause remnants. Abel has moved his troops and equipment to Enterprise.  Their bunkers are ready. He just needs the go ahead, and the Oregon Chapter will be born. He too stands at a crossroads. Does he stay true to the ideals of the Midwest and Glorious Purpose? To stand against the Immortal he needs allies. Perhaps the Montana Chapter could be persuaded to join forces? Betty could be sent to the First with an offer of alliance: A carrot so sweet they can't say no. Or he could walk the same path as the Immortal: Align with the Lost Hills and the Western Brotherhood of Steel. Help them reclaim California, and hopefully convince the Elders there to banish the Immortal from their ranks, for if the Immortal gets appointed Absolute High Elder of the Brotherhood of Steel, the outlook is going to be bleak.
Whatever the path, one thing is certain: Cascadia is about to go up in flames. Whose side are you on?


The plan is to release each path separately. The BOS and NCR paths are fully playable right now, but the NCR will get a major revamp next. The Pilgrim and Unity paths will be expanded later.
All of the paths will be available as game rules for the AI, so if you fancy a late game challenge, set these manually.
Thanks to Berrick for helping out with events, GFX and brainstorming.
Thanks to Basta for Warren focus tree icons.
Thanks to Discord Submodding for all their assistance.
Thanks to everyone who provided feedback during the beta.

thanks

Tibbs, you mean the music? It's the main theme for the video game Flashback, arranged for Amiga by Raphaël Gesqua. The original was by the legend Jean Baudlot and Fabrice Visserot.
Tibbs 14 Sep @ 6:22pm 
question: what is the theme for this mod?
Jacobheder 2 Sep @ 12:01pm 
ok
SilverHood  [author] 2 Sep @ 10:33am 
Jorde, yes it is. There's some minor funkery that can happen, like if Lost Hills goes Steel Plague, they can invite WashBOS to their faction before WashBOS is ready in terms of DF focuses, but that's the only issue I've ever encountered.
Jacob, if you already have the tech, then you'll end up with a bonus to manufacturing instead.
Jorde 1 Sep @ 12:39pm 
Is this compatible with Lost Hills Expanded?
Jacobheder 1 Sep @ 12:30pm 
as a follow upp about the quest line, could you perhaps add some more rewards for it. since RNGsus could bless you with the scavange mechanich and give you vertis, compleating the quest would insta unlock the transport vertis and if you already have those you get the cas vertis. just suggesting so that the entire quest line does not become redundant after one lucky dice roll. speaking off suggestions, you could do a post ncr war win focus about going to the air base like you already did with the enclave.
SilverHood  [author] 1 Sep @ 6:44am 
WBH will probably still have their Vertibird quest line. I might add in another way for them to get them, so you don't feel forced to take them as part of the event chain.
Ghost, the way it's currently planned is kinda like Lanius and the Legion. You'll be in the NCR, but wont be able to call them into your wars. Eventually you can join as a full member, or go your own path, and form a settler coalition.

I have an question im new here so feel free to make some corrections to me but.

for the Independent path like it will be its own unique branch rather than the path of pilgrim or mutant correct. If so what will the paths look like example I want my Timberline to form Oregon and pretty much become similar to the NCR style government but not bending knees its NCR or Brotherhood laws and just be its own nation or will their be more authoritarian path along with it?
Jacobheder 15 Aug @ 12:39pm 
will WBH still have their vertibird "quest chain" or will that be changed/removed. and will they still be limited to the manpower law you get when you rebuild the brotherhood? also a question about the current version, is the expeditions the only way (beyond possebly getting it through scavenging) for the wbh to get vertis or is there other ways to get the last bits of the verti manuals?
