    ...Took me a while to figure out when did I like your post - AH.com doesn't have a Likes Given page, unfortunately.

  2. The "Where has AH.com gone?" Map Thread

    I'm still working on my map... added Bulgaria, Lithuania, Kaliningrad Oblast, Belarus, and Ukraine (including Crimea, which was Ukrainian when I was there), not done yet on Armenia, Serbia, Israel and southern Russia. On my current definitions: "visited" basically means it was a deliberate...

  3. A Map Shitpost Thread

    I wanted to say that it must be more recent, because it has the Republic of Crimea. Then I noticed that it doesn't have South Sudan, and the Libyan flag is the old green one. So maybe your date is correct (though in that case I can't figure out how they managed to guess Crimea).

  4. The "Where has AH.com gone?" Map Thread

    Same for me - I want to add my travels in mainland European Russia (and the northern parts of Ukraine) but there's nowhere to add them. I'll try to add the other places I've been to (Armenia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Israel, Lithuania, southern and western Ukraine, some parts of Russia... Tashkent is...

  5. The "Where has AH.com gone?" Map Thread

    Added Armenia (how did everyone else miss it?), and added Kaluga, Vladimir, Tver, Novgorod, Vologda, Pskov, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, and Nizhny Novgorod oblasts, Adygeya, Mari El, and Kabardino-Balkaria republics, and Stavropol krai to Russia. Also changed the Moscow city pixel to the "multiple"...

  6. A Map Shitpost Thread

    In my headcanon (and in my somehow-still-planned fanfic), Springfield, North Takoma is somewhere between North Platte and Cheyenne (maybe in the vicinity of Ogallala, which isn't on the map but appears to fit within the strip). And yes, I did draw a similar (simpler) map to be sure that it also...

  7. Planetocopia Map Thread

    Just wanted to mention that my own calculations from several years ago (back when I still had Google Earth) say that the Turgay Channel (where appropriate) might not have actually existed - its lowest point is 122 meters! OTOH, Volga-Baltic is 113 meters - much lower. And IIRC there are places...

  8. Map collaboration: Where in America do ah.commers live and have traveled to?

    I agree - at least that way we're actually likely to see some meaningful empty spaces. I recall a similar thread with countries a year or two ago. I wanted one for first-level subdivisions, but can't recall if I actually mentioned it originally.

  9. World of Gulliver's Travels

    There is perhaps a bit more added in there than there would have been if directly based on Gulliver's Travels - but I like the sheer detail (if a bit fancy).

  10. Columbus doesnt sail the ocean blue, so Spain conquers Egypt and something that rhymes with blue

    Regardless of Cabral, there's Binot Paulmier de Gonneville, who managed to discover yet another part of Brazil while thinking he found Madagascar.

  11. World of Gulliver's Travels

    I didn't realize that about the resources. Still, Russian transportation of the time is not up to the task of getting there in less than two years or so each way, and that's assuming they somehow avoid getting captured by the locals. Americans though - assuming they will still exist ITTL...

  12. Publishing fan fiction

    Which, as I recall, is how either Twilight or Fifty Shades Of Gray started out (can't recall which one, possibly both). Also, some types of fanfiction appear to count as fair use under "parody" - this is why there are so many obvious Harry Potter parodies around (Porry Gatter [my favorite]...

  13. World of Gulliver's Travels

    Perhaps even earlier: "Modelling of the tsunami suggests that most of the energy would have been radiated out into the Indian Ocean, sparing most coastal population centres outside Sumatra itself", says the Wikipedia page for the 1833 Sumatra earthquake. And the official map for Brobdingnag is...

  14. Alternate capitals?

    It could be that Middle Francia (~= Lotharingia) manages to stay around, with Aachen as the capital, and then ends up owning West Francia eventually. (Which is what I was going for in my previous post.) But I agree, it doesn't seem particularly likely. (EDIT: We might just as well try to have a...

  15. Alternate capitals?

    Couldn't a different reorganization of the Carolingian empire keep Aachen as the capital of France? [EDIT: Wikipedia says: "If Louis II had inherited Lotharingia, Middle Francia would have been reunited. However, as Louis was at that time campaigning against the Emirate of Bari, Lotharingia was...

  16. What are but two votes? - An alternate Civil War

    Should still be Litva in the 1860s (especially from a Jewish perspective). And... just caught up. Extremely nice story (though it did make me wonder what happened, say, to Japan - after all, Millard Fillmore was not President ITTL, so the Perry expedition might not have happened). EDIT: and I...

  17. A Land Fertile in Tyrants

    What can I say? Just finished, and really nice story. And I was also looking forward to the death of William of Evreux for some reason. (And also not sure if the next William won't be worse anyway.)

  18. What is the absolute latest time to save (at least part of) the Western Roman Empire?

    Absolute latest? Chararic joins Syagrius at the Battle of Soissons, handily beats Clovis' forces. Then something something morale. Realistic latest? The sheer atrocity against honest warfare that is the Battle of Cape Bon does not happen for some reason, and Geiseric surrenders properly...

  19. Most mentally unstable leader/monarch

    I'd say Zhang Xianzhong, aka the Seven Kill Stele guy. The whole "Seven Kill Stele" story appears to have been an exaggeration, but other than that... yeah, ridiculously evil - and probably mentally abnormal - Chinese peasant rebellion leader.

  20. Look to the West Volume V: To Dream Again

    So basically like Karel Chapek's War with the Newts? (Admittedly, that one is humans finding a bunch of underwater creatures that are especially useful as workers - the titular newts - and proceeding to use them as such, and essentially breed them for such. Then the underwater civilizations and...
