  1. Photos from Alternate Worlds

    I'll admit the resemblence, but that wasn't the intent. Actually, I tried creating a model of OTL Napoleon II's head using FaceGen, aged it a bit, and then Photoshopped it onto a portrait of Napoleon III.

    Napoleon II, Emperor of the French, in 1841

  3. Question: WI longer-surviving Ministry of All the Talents?

    I suppose the obvious thing would be to have them put off Catholic Emancipation efforts for a while, as that's what ended the Ministry IOTL. Having Fox live a bit longer might improve things, too. I can't say whether that would make the Ministry last longer, but I know Napoleon had great...

  4. "The Caesariad"

    Oh, what a tremendous first chapter! It's too bad that Caesar is dead when the real story begins. I would have loved to read more of your take on him. You probably picked about the best way for him to go, though. At least he got to take out the Parthians. That makes me curious as to which of his...

  5. "The Caesariad"

    This TL excites me so much that I've had to briefly cease my lurking! I tried to do a similar TL a couple years back (even with the McCullough characterizations in mind), but I just didn't have the time or drive to keep it going. Good luck! I eagerly await further updates.

  6. Napoleonic victory with the invasion of Russia?

    I agree with this. Specifically, make sure Bagration has the command. He wanted to pursue a much more offensive strategy in 1812, proposing that the Russians meet Napoleon in Poland.

  7. No Peninsular War: Thoughts and Questions on a Napoleonic Victory

    I'm beginning to think that Junot's invasion of Portugal can't be avoided. This is my current idea: John submits to all of the French demands, as per the initial POD. This, I propose, very slightly softens the French attitude towards him and gives him a slighter greater sense of security...

  8. No Peninsular War: Thoughts and Questions on a Napoleonic Victory

    You're right that the plan to evacuate to Brazil had been on the table for some time (was it Sousa who had proposed it a few years earlier?), but I don't think it was by any means a foregone conclusion. For some time, Araujo supported siding with the French! In the end, the Royal Family only...

  9. No Peninsular War: Thoughts and Questions on a Napoleonic Victory

    I'm delighted by the responses so far. Thank you so much! Oh, as do I. I merely thought, as you do, that they could do a bit better than they did IOTL by 1812. If Napoleon manages to make peace with Britain, though, might he try to go forward with some sort of Ottoman adventure like he...

  10. No Peninsular War: Thoughts and Questions on a Napoleonic Victory

    I agree that it's very difficult to get Britain to accept Napoleon's dominance on the continent. My thinking is that the British economic situation must become so dire that they're forced to be pragmatic and accept peace, or at least an Amiens-style truce. If the situation IOTL in 1808 was...

  11. No Peninsular War: Thoughts and Questions on a Napoleonic Victory

    Hello, all! I’m considering writing a Napoleonic victory timeline. I have a number of ideas in mind, but wanted to bring them up for discussion first. This way I hope to avoid elements of a “Napoleon wins at Waterloo and then invades England”-level of implausibility and won’t have to go back...

  12. Let the Dice Fly High! (yet another Julius Caesar timeline)

    First, a quick map showing the loyalties of the Roman world The Catonian War – Opening Stages At the war’s commencement, Caesar possessed an army nine legions strong (formerly eleven, until the Senate had stripped two away). He entered Italia at the head of only three legions, with the...

  13. Let the Dice Fly High! (yet another Julius Caesar timeline)

    The new chapter should be up within the next few days.

  14. Let the Dice Fly High! (yet another Julius Caesar timeline)

    Thank you so much for the postive comments! I really do appreciate them. I'm making progress on the next chapter, but in the meantime, here's a little visual dramatis personae to help you keep all of those Roman names straight. Gaius Julius Caesar, Proconsul of Gaul and Illyricum Julia...

  15. Let the Dice Fly High! (yet another Julius Caesar timeline)

    Let the Dice Fly High! (yet another Julius Caesar timeline) "Alesia," Gaius Julius Aristarchus, c. 1550 AUC Hello! This is basically a reboot of the Roman TL I tried to do a while back. That one was a little dry, and I eventually lost the will to continue it. Now I’m more informed and...

  16. Crassus in the Roman Civil War

    I say he'd have supported Caesar. Crassus had been an ally of Caesar's for some time, and had solved some of Caesar's financial problems in his earlier career. Plus, Crassus had some personal animosity toward Pompey and many of the boni.

  17. DBWI: Horse Cavalry

    I know that most people say that horses are too skittish and impossible to tame, but what would it be like if ancient man had managed to domesticate them? Could they have been used to the same effect as, say, elephants? OOC: After so many WI cavalry threads, I thought this was appropriate (and...

  18. Suebi Superpower

    Someone's been studying their Proto-Germanic. ;) It looks very interesting so far. A powerful Germanic confederation this early in history could really shake things up.

  19. 'modern' Roman military images, 56K BEWARE!!!!!

    Wow, that could have been my exact post. I'm a CivFanatics-viewing, AH.com lurker myself. Excellent work, Wyrm! I look forward to seeing more in the future.
