They are so right.
It feels cool to LARP as a Roman in addition to it being a based and stable society.
To anyone quoting me, I look like that and say that.

"stable"
None of the factions in New Vegas are in a fit enough state to take the Dam or hold the Mojave without the aid of the Courier. Helping the Legion will lead to them growing strong and their occupation policies will hold the Mojave better than anyone else (by enslaving or killing everyone in that fricking desert hellhole).
Despite all their struggles, the Legion's homelands are peaceful and free of war/banditry. They are the stable society, not NCR or House.
The Legion doesn't have a homeland. They're a roving band of glorified raiders.
Kimball rose to the Presidency because of the popularity and goodwill he earned as General of the Army in the Mojave Campaign, when he finally and permanently removed the Khans, Jackals and Vipers from California
There are no raider gangs in California either. Just like there's no government or infrastructure in Arizona.
>Legion
>stable
The Courier is Caesar's Augustus, kino
more like Caesar's Agrippa in that the Courier does all the work and excels at every task given to them but willingly allows Caesar to take the credit, and in exchange Caesar bestows rewards upon the Courier.
Octavian you mean. Calling him Caesar is like saying trannies are real women.

>stable society
lmao where did you even hear that? they're a big band of raiders that employs slaves and is only held together by a man who's about to die within a couple years.
Dale Barton says that he doesn't need guards when travelling in Legion lands and that they are his best customers as long as you don't try to sell them chems. Several NPCs also make comments about Legion lands being safe to travel in which obviously means things are peaceful.
and how is that synonym of a stable society? if you make scorched earth of everywhere you go, of course you're not gonna find raiders. they don't have an economy or infrastructures, they don't have a legal system, their money is meaningless posturing with no way to trade it, they have nothing but machetes and football gear.
Romans made a desert and called it "peace."
what the frick are you talking about? romans built a prosperous society, please stop being a contrarian little shit you're giving me a headache
Anon are you actually moronic? You have heard of history before right? I suggest you read a book and learn about the great plight of roman "democracy".
It's a historical quote.
ok nerd
>To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire, and where they make a desert, they call it peace.
It's obvious that in legion lands there are towns like primm and goodsprings, normal inhabitants who live in legion lands but are not legion themselves
The capital of the legion is flagstaff, but i have no doubt it's just a derelict favela at best. The ncr is said to have practically rebuilt los angeles and life in california resembles normalcy, the fact that new vegas still looks like a wasteland is because it sits on the frontier.
I see no reason for them not to use concrete as the Romans did, but Caesar says they are semi-nomadic which probably means they live in tents, wigwams, teepees, etc.
Actually the canon has been updated, Los Angeles (Shady Sands) has been nuked. Get your lore right.
Maybe if you're a sexless chud, yeah lmao. I hate NV but the legion only appeals to permavigins lmao.
i have no doubt real romans would be absolutely insulted at that. caesar's legion has nothing, and i mean literally nothing in common with rome.
>bull balls
need to stick my head under a legion skirt

They aren't LARP-ing. They are actually out there crucifying people and speaking Latin. This is not Roleplay, they are attempting to conquer the West.
Saying Ave every now and then means nothing. They're illiterate raiders that barely know english, most of them used to speak their own tribal dialect a few years prior.
Wrong
The Legion are also my favourite faction
Caesar is right, nothing stable can be built without a common unified culture and identity that can later constitute a nation.
The history of his Legion proves that, as he defeated hundreds of smaller tribes with unity and coordination, as well as the history of the NCR, divided and spread across multiple communities apathetic to the actual stability of the collective. It is the perfect antithesis of the old, ultra-individualistic capitalist old world and the NCR, so his authoritarian rule feels fitting thematically, a band of raiders shaped by the brutal reality of the post apocalypse.
Why did he have to include sex slavery and hatred of women to realize his vision? Spain faced a similar predicament during the Reconquista and upheld a strong warrior culture to survive and fight back the Arabs, but its women enjoyed the greatest rights in Europe (in Navarra firstborn daughters inherited over their brothers, in all of Christian Spain men paid dowry to women and women inherited with near-equal rights, Spanish last names were both matrilineal and patrilineal simultaneously). Reconquista Spaniards acted exactly like raiders, such that after the finalization of the reconquista most of Andalus reverted into barren pastures and deagriculturalized (still very much justified but it is telling).
In order to repopulate his lands and his legions, he needs women to be having lots of babies. In the Roman world, women had no political rights, couldn't work most jobs, and who they married was controlled by their father; this is ultimately what his "synthesis" is hoping for.
Again with the Spain example. To repopulate reconquered Arab lands Spain invited Christian settlers from France and Italy and created fortified colonies. The Legion does not have that privilege as there are no lands it can draw migrant settlers who share its worldview from, but monogamy doesn't inherently limit natal efficiency. Sex slavery makes them comically evil with no cause, they're like Islamic savages.
