Timelines you want to see done?

[Faeelin]

Out of curiosity, what would people like to see explored on AH.net? I'll toss out some I'd like to see people explore:

- Ottoman Renaissance

- Venetian Italy

- Stronger Holland

-Sweden Uber Alles!

[pieman3141]

Where Canada develops the Arrow program to its full potential (plane-launched spacecraft, lunar landers, etc.) Not too plausible, though, considering Canada wasn't as wealthy as the US. I think a Commonwealth program would be more plausible. Also... Canada becomes somewhat of an uber-middle-power, post-WWII. Not totally aligned with either side, but is somewhat friendly, to varying degrees, to both sides.

Just found something interesting on wikipedia:

Cartago ain't destroyed.

[Ran Exilis]

I really like the last three scenario's you've mentioned.

- Venetian Italy I just love all scenario's involving a great number of thriving Repubbliche Marinare and the continuation of Renaissance Italy! ...and a number of the Maritime Republics did fall under Venetian rule...

- Stronger Holland what can I say? ...a little patriottism never hurt anyone

- Sweden Uber Alles! imagine - Sweden being Europe's second Germany!
...and it is even quite possible too! (though you should really have said that in Swedish, you know, just for good measure)

...but I'm not so fond of anything involving an Ottoman renaissance though.

Not that I have anything againest this empire, but when studying my proto-TL's and scenario's, one does notice that the Seljuk and/or Ottoman empires either end up as the ruins upon which new empires are built, or they simply do not come into existence at all.

But I could really work with the other three idea's you gave, Faeelin!

...but instead of starting any projects on them,
I should instead create some coherent post to start that Blood Prophesy TL that I have been talkin' about for so long...

[Magnificate]

I would like to see:
1. Timeline where America is not discovered until mid-XVII century, featuring a fully colonised and subdued China, strong Castillian monarchy and fireworks-powered-gliders.
2. Timeline where Venice, Novgorod and Hanza develop into proto-corporate states and are major powers at XX century.
3. Timeline where Teutonic Order stays in Hungary, Poland becomes meritocratic and France balkanizes.
4. My "Skirino" timeline completed.
5. Anglo-German Alliance timeline completed.
6. Berwick timeline completed.
7. Rule Brittania! carried into early XXI century.
8. Any timeline by Tony Jones.

I will try and endeavor to do so as able, but I'm a bit tied up timewise at present.

OK, let's see whether my wishes from 3 years ago came true.

No such timeline. Still, right now I wouldn't be as interested in reading it if it was written.

2. Timeline where Venice, Novgorod and Hanza develop into proto-corporate states and are major powers at XX century.

No such timeline. As above, I wouldn't be as interested in reading it if it was written.

3. Timeline where Teutonic Order stays in Hungary, Poland becomes meritocratic and France balkanizes.

No such timeline. I'd still like to read it thought.

4. My "Skirino" timeline completed.

Never got beyond the concept phase.

5. Anglo-German Alliance timeline completed.

Not much progress here.

6. Berwick timeline completed.

Sadly, this timeline has been abandoned. I'd still love to read it.

7. Rule Brittania! carried into early XXI century.

More or less completed, might use some finishing touches.

8. Any timeline by Tony Jones.

We have been gifted with Gurkani Âlam.

2 out of 8. Not very good, but at least some wishes came true.

I'd like to see a TL where India replaces Europe in colonizing the world. I could have sworn, I'd seen someone ask if this was plausible a few months back; and the idea just never left my mind.

well, that doesn't mean that an Ottoman Renaissance can't be written...just that it hasn't yet been written.

I have faith in your ability to use Sinan and the others to the greater glory of Osmanli.

Can't promise not to make any flamingo-ups* with regard to German history, but I'm hoping the story will transcend that

*like a cock-up, but bigger.

Mattep74 once wrote something where Sweden conquers Siberia after the Battle of Poltava and then takes Australia, but I don't think it was all that realistic

I read that one. Fascinating but a bit unrealistic.

An ASB TL with a wierd war II fllwed by a wierd cold war and then a magic equivalent t the computer revolution but I cant get anyone interested

[EvolvedSaurian]

I'd like to see one with a Roman-controlled and Latin-speaking Hibernia and/or Germania.

Add Britain to that.

Working on one right now where Ireland becomes as Germanic as Britain. Would you like that?

[1940LaSalle]

* A condensing steam engine is developed earlier than it was in OTL by James Watt.
* James Madison is captured by the British after burning Washington in August 1814.
* South Carolina attempts to secede over nullification, leading Andrew Jackson to provide a military response.
* Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane are American victories.
* A more astute Secretary of the Treasury in the 1920s (Charles Dawes?) becomes alarmed at the abuse of buying stocks on margin and brings it to heel by 1927-1928.
* The various pieces of technology (wire rope; steel rails; cast iron structural members; low-speed stationary steam engines) are put together in the mid-1850s in New York to yield cable cars approximately 20 to 25 years earlier than in OTL.
* Tesla, Steinmetz, and Edison teamed up to make übercheap electric power a reality (in OTL, Steinmetz predicted that one day electricity would be generated so cheaply that it wouldn't pay to meter it).

As for the rest, I'd love to see more Southeast Asia-focused TLs.

Sorry, I meant that the Indo-Europeans only go east and south, the west would be blocked off by, I don't know, the expanding Minoans or Etruscans?

Yes, this forum seems to lack TLs focused on SEasia, hopefully that would change with me................... when I have enough time and confidence I hope.
