Looking forward to reading this one as a fellow Venetophile!
Would actually love to see some overlapping from my own Venetian TL here as the 1500's arrive, seeing as it's the actual history so why wouldn't it be... (because deep, deep in my head I hold my TL's history as reality... Does...
Hey all,
Just a quick update, because you're entitled to one. As is obvious by now, this TL is on hiatus, unfortunately. Long story short, I'm incredibly busy at work and writing this AH consumes too much time. In order to ensure my focus is on work and work alone to effectively do my job...
Hey all. Just an update:
Firstly, just to hedge anyone from asking first, a new part will be up shortly.
Secondly, in writing and based on some of the questions being asked in the discussion, I realize the last few parts, and the next few (most likely, depending on how I decide to play...
Maybe my suggestion of dynastic ambitions was over the top, but I think the intent to gain lands works just the same.
I agree. I'm curious as to whether this can be exploited to ensure Normans flock to Italy in with greater numbers.
Good point.
Understood, they were not there in vast...
Kindly excuse me if this is ASB, or my logic/scenario is off; I openly admit I have very little knowledge of this subject, which is why I request your assistance in critiquing and advising!
I’ve become quite interested in the Normans in the last few months. After researching them, I’ve been...
Happy New Year all, welcome to 2014! I'm sorry to all for my sudden hiatus.
For those who may be interested, after the storm the entire family decided to take a different approach to the holidays, having all further festivities up in cottage country. I left the computer with my work files...
Also Sketchdoodle, the TL was edited by CalBear so that part 1 is now a prologue. Everything before the 2nd part 5 has been brought ahead to normalize the number scheme.
True, good points, but as a whole I must disagree.
As you've correctly said, "the Iberian kingdom was somewhat exhausted of the revolt". In terms of the revolt, other than the added massacre (at no cost to the Spanish royal army) it played out as per OTL, which leaves Spain with enough...
That's smart, I may have to do this too.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions everyone! Much appreciated. Coincidentally I've recently been stressing to find good material on topics such as the Habsburgs specifically, as I see this TL naturally involving central Europe in the very near future, for...
Looks like somebody's been wikiing ahead!
Sorry if it came off confusingly, I couldn't think of another name for the runaway comunero sect. The answer is technically no. The ones who survived are the ones who had wanted Charles deposed before the tax and government reforms, but are content...
Part 31, La Masacre
Early September: After months of small naval skirmishes, including a separate large Ming Chinese victory at Tämäo in May, the main Portuguese fleet from India meets the Otto-Veneto-Sino-Malaccan alliance fleet off the coast of Colombo. The Portuguese armada consists of 23...
Firstly I think it'd be easier for your cause if you can keep Spain and France out of Italy early. Once they come in, they don't actually get out, at least until it doesn't matter anymore (see option 3 for this to really apply).
That being said, there are a few scenarios that quickly come to...
Thanks! I'm glad everyone seems to like it :)
My apologies :o
You're right, they will be appearing more so in later parts, but the Venetians have already contacted them. If you recall, the joint Otto-Venetian mission sent into India to search for allies against the Portuguese is when the...
