Brahmin Wood

Brahmin Wood is a resource rich tribal village in the area of the pre-War city of Chicago, Illinois. In 2197 it was invaded by a group raiders led by Horus. Brahmin Wood's losses were heavy and they decided to accept the Eastern Brotherhood's conditions for protection. Eventually, a small squad of Brotherhood recruits returned their lands and rescued these primitive people in exchange for food and a portion of their older children for new recruits.

The village Elder or Tribal Father is Charon, who was skeptical to the benevolence of the Brotherhood's intentions, but agreed to their terms after the village was rescued from the hands of raiders by the Brotherhood. The shaman of Brahmin Wood is called Hawkeye, who is only vaguely interested in the affairs of the village.

Mission walkthrough
This is a training mission. You are pretty weak, so you get 2 party members to help you out. In the "tough guy" mode, you cannot save after character creation, and the game likes to crash just before entering the raider leader's tent.

It is very helpful to tag the small guns for the main character. Other than that, leave the shooting to Farsight. Stitch is almost blind, but carries a pump-action shotgun, which will be useful if you can sneak close enough to sleeping enemies. The double barrel shot enables you to kill 2 sleeping raiders for one shot. Use every corner to hide, and sneak if possible.

There are 2 harder points in this mission: After "freeing" the tribals in the tent, there is a tent with a walking guard in front of it. In the tent there is a sneaking raider, almost impossible to spot, so send Stitch in. The other is the raider on a sniper nest in the northern ruin section. Almost every time he will hit you once.

Quests and so: first talk with the elder. Than find the shaman (south part). If you free the tribals without damage to them, you gain a higher rank, and later possible recruits. Main quest: elminiate the raider leader. Then you can go home, to Bunker Alpha.

Appearances in games
Brahmin Wood appears only in Fallout Tactics as the place of the first mission in the game.
