📋 About This Mod
Name: Fort Akatosh Redux Version: 1. 4. 3 Author(s): onra Description ======== Fort Akatosh is a fully functional fort south of the Imperial City run by the Akatosh Legion. The fort protects the main trade routes from the east and south and could as well support the Imperial City in the event of an attack. Fort Akatosh is also the headquarters of all legions of Tamriel, under command of General Synniu Esdrecus. These days most of the units of the Akatosh Legion are stationed all over the whole empire. Only two regiments are currently stationed at the fort: the 1st Akatosh Guard Regiment and the 1. Elite Infantry Regiment. As the old Legion forts were abandoned and the Cyrodiil Legion has nearly no troops operating outside of the Imperial city, the Swamp Moth Legion has received orders to return from Blackmarsh to Cyrodiil, to support the local forces during the oblivion crisis. (This is part of our other mod \"Guards of Cyrodiil\" which is highly recommended to play together with Fort Akatosh). Fort Akatosh is located at the river Niben just beside Cropsford and comes with 4 gates, 12 watchtowers, 4 large barracks, a legion smith, stables, own prison, storages, infirmary, jakes, washhouse, Thermae ( Roman bath), legion kitchen, drill area, the mainbuilding ( featuring the HQ, the Arsenal, the Scriptorium, the Imperial Cult) and a large basement ( featuring private quarters, guard barracks, the legion vaults, armory, temple of Akatosh and interrogation chamber), Further on we have the Fort Akatosh Docks..featuring a big dry dock (with cranes and stuff), navy barracks, storages, a lighthouse, imperial trading company cog and the trading company office.... last but not least Fort Akatosh will add 6 legion watchtowers (beacons) along the Cyrodiil borders ... The Fort itself has been built in the style of a roman/imperial legion castellum by using a mix of castle meshes ( Mr_Siika), imperial architecture and meshes taken from Mr_Siikas Jurad tileset for designing it. So it has a unique military look but fits perfectly in the existing game as well. More than 100 npc\'s have been made so far , legionnaires, recruits, guards, elite guards, battlemages, officers, legionnaires from other provinces etc...all high detailed with unique names, faces, inventories, unique legion gear and complex AI shedules featuring a lot of different animations...you will see soldiers patrol, pray, eat , sleep, being drilled, taking notes, playing lute, drink, smoke etc .... Fort Akatosh will provide a lot of different services and features like merchants ( selling as well lot of new stuff and cobl items from the other provinces), training, repairs, recharge, horses, an altar to pray at, sleeping places ( from barracks up to your own officers quarters), fully scripted roman bath, fully working alchemy lab (cobl and more), enchantment altar, food and water supply (cobl), the luggage (cobl), a big library ( featurin
