  1. Plausibility Check: Mali as a Modern Major Power

    Without rewriting a lot of history and butterfly gore, potentially not. A rising power in the same sense as India or Brazil? Yes. But a great power in the same sense as China, or even Canada? Not really no.
  2. What happens to Isabella II if the Carlists Win the First Carlist War?

    Britain. They can swear new oaths or being kicked out of the service, if they're lucky. If not they're tried and jailed, most likely to be pardoned within a few years. Most facing such prospects will rather go into exile. No more or less so than they were of Isabella. No.
  3. AHC: French Republican Calendar still in use

    Keep the French Republican Calendar, which very minimal to no modifications, in use up until the present time.
  4. Map Thread XII

    Please, please, let it be a parody. :eek: :(
  5. Paris Peace Conference 1919 - biggest mistakes not relating to Germany

    Well obviously, it was the peak of the ages of imperialism and nationalism after all, but surely some things can be different from OTL.
  6. Paris Peace Conference 1919 - biggest mistakes not relating to Germany

    Alright so we've established plenty of things that caused more problems than they solved, and how/why things couldn't go drastically different from IOTL (e.g. a WWII-esque UN/NATO treaty system), what could be changed for the better?
  7. AHC/WI: Dewey Defeats Truman

    I'm sure this has been done to death before, but how could Dewey win the '48 election, and what would be the consequences? How does President Dewey handle the end of the Chinese Civil War and PRC control of the mainland? What about Korea? Or the Soviets becoming a nuclear power? What happens to...
  8. AHC: At least 3 Parties in the US

    Britain's Liberal Democrats, as pointed out by Meadow up thread, aren't a significant party in the sense that they're never going to take control. Canada's Liberals are much the same way. They're more a protest vote against the two major parties than they are a viable political platform...
  9. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    e_latin_empire = { color = { 150 105 56 } capital = 496 # Byzantion short_name = yes allow = { OR = { religion = catholic is_heresy_of = catholic } e_byzantium = { has_holder = no } e_roman_empire = { has_holder = no } custom_tooltip = {...
  10. AHC: At least 3 Parties in the US

    The issue isn't the electoral college, it's first-past-the-post. You see the same thing in Britain, Canada, S. Korea, etc.
  11. AHC: Curb Schwarzenegger

    Terminator seems quite late, Arnold was already a big star after the two Conan films. Changing his casting in Terminator just frees him up to do other roles; perhaps we see the third Conan movie produced.
  12. Paris Peace Conference 1919 - biggest mistakes not relating to Germany

    But the Entente, with the sole exception of Wilson, wasn't interested in a lasting peace. Remember the US had a completely different experience in WWI than say France or Britain. For all the talk of the War to End All Wars, at least in my reading, none of the participants were interested in...
  13. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    RoI patch notes. Release date confirmed for March 25th. As well some new screen shots. Pretty excited :D
  14. Malê Rising

    Venezuelan Hitler-esque stupidity there. Attack all your most powerful neighbors all at once, sure why not! :rolleyes:
