Inspiration and Special Mentions
You may be thinking that some of this seems quite familiar, as though it has been done before, and that is quite true. This mod draws heavily on the concepts of three other mods, combining the best bits of all of them:
Compatibility
This mod includes some new lines of dialogue which are not voiced. OBSE -Elys- Universal Silent Voice is recommended.

- Three new Imperial Legion Forts in the wilderness of Cyrodiil are the home bases of the Legions in Cyrodiil.
- Fort Brazollus Dor, on the northwestern tip of City Isle, houses the Heartland Legion.
- Fort Rislav, in the Imperial Reserve far north of Kvatch, houses the Colovian Legion.
- Fort Tharanus, in the backwaters far east of Bravil, houses the Nibenean Legion.
- Each fort, built in the vanilla "fort ruin" style, is equipped with a dining hall, training area, chapel, smithy, barracks and Commander's office.
- Each Legion now has their own armour, allowing a more diverse presence for the Imperial Legion in Cyrodiil.
- The Imperial City Watch are now all equipped with the official Imperial Watch Armor, formerly only seen on Palace Guards and Watch Captains.
- The Palace Guards themselves, along with the Imperial Watch Commander, are now decked out in the elite Imperial Palace Cuirass, formerly only seen in the Ultimate Heist and Light the Dragonfires quests.
- The Imperial Watch armour is now wearable, and can be used by the player.
- The Imperial Legion Battlemages at the Arcane University have been updated with new Shadow Legion armour.
- Additional Imperial Legion Soldiers have been added along the roads and inside some of the inns which didn't already have them.
- All Guard "Directions" have been tidied up, with new Directions added to the Legion Horsemen explaining their different patrol areas.
- Horse Armor for all Imperial Legion Horses (vanilla and those added by this mod) is provided in a separate file.
Special Thanks
- DagothBalls for Ethereal: Armor Imperial Legion Edition, the new armour of the Heartland Legion
- Oddbasket for Imperial Armor Replacement Elite Black, the new armour of the Colovian Legion
- Oddbasket for Imperial Armor Replacement Royal Gunmetal, the new armour of the Nibenese Legion and the Shadow Legion
Inspiration and Special Mentions
You may be thinking that some of this seems quite familiar, as though it has been done before, and that is quite true. This mod draws heavily on the concepts of three other mods, combining the best bits of all of them:
- The concept of Legion-occupied forts is well-known to players of SilentResident's ImpeREAL Empire - Unique Forts and Guinefort's eponymous Legion-occupied Forts, but I wanted something that didn't take away any vanilla dungeons or create very tall towers in the landscape. The three forts added by Legions of Cyrodiil are vanilla-style, but in unused locations.
- The concept of different armour for regional soldiers has been explored before in Regional Legion Soldiers by Ionis and Brotrooper's Colovian Legion and Legion Reformed. What I wanted to do here was provide that different armour with a consistent style across all Legions - made possible by the fact that Oddbasket used DagothBalls' original texture as a template - without removing the vanilla Legion armour.
Compatibility
- Compatibility patches are provided for Roads of Cyrodiil, Talos Bridge Gatehouse, Diverse Guards, Oblivion (Nouveau) Uncut, Better Cities, Region Revive - Lake Rumare and Unique Landscapes. The Roads of Cyrodiil patch includes versions with and without horse armour as separate downloads.
- No patches will be made for ImpeREAL Forts or Legion-Occupied Forts since this is intended as an alternative to those, but they should still work alongside it (just without the new armour).
- Will not be compatible with any other mod that changes the armour of the Imperial Legion Battlemages, the Imperial Watch or the Imperial Legion Soldiers.
- Should be compatible with mods that edit the Imperial Legion Foresters. Something like Imperial Forester Armor and Legion Forester Outposts are recommended alongside this mod.
- Should be compatible with other mods that edit the Imperial Legion as a whole (like Fort Akatosh Redux and The Imperial Legion V4 Part 3), as I do not touch the Imperial Legion faction or the vanilla Legion armour itself (just who's wearing it).
- Should also be compatible with any Legion Armor Retextures which only affect the vanilla armour (it might just be harder to find any vanilla armour...).
- Any other mods which make the Imperial Watch Armor wearable by the player are not required.
- Any other mods which add Horse Armor to Imperial Legion Horses are not necessary, unless you're wanting a different texture.
- A number of fixes/changes from the Unofficial Oblivion Patch are included (some are not).
- Bash tags included for Wyre Bash.
