You're not wrong, but it was a little more complicated than that, since the controversy started when Drew was still writing. There were a couple other reasons. One was that, as a popular timeline, the Gumboverse had numerous "follow the leader" timelines that were making people sick of dystopias...

NUKEMAP can't go higher than 100 megatons.

The Hohenstaufen Emperors heavily emphasized a continuity with Charlemagne (and through him, the Roman Emperors) - according to the Staufen worldview, every Catholic monarch was a vassal of the Emperor. This was largely ignored in France, to be fair, but as mentioned in the background post Henry...

Thank you, but I can't claim credit. I've adapted the writing style used by @Carp in the TL Sons of the Harlot Empress, where the intention is to present the TL as an in-universe pop history (albeit one translated into OTL American English). It's a style I've used once before, but hopefully this...

Background - Richard I, Philip II, Barbarossa, and the Third Crusade When Henry II of England died, it was not under happy circumstances, for he was in the midst of a civil war with his own son Richard, the Duke of Aquitaine and Count of Maine. The conflict had arisen after the death of...

The Lions of Europe An Alternate History of the High Middle Ages From L to R: King Philip II of France, King Richard I of England, and Emperor Henry VI of the Holy Roman Empire (all pictures taken from Wikipedia) In the final years of the twelfth century, conflict raged between the Kingdoms...

This is going to be an odd request but I'd like an easy to edit map of the late Eastern Han China with its provinces.

I can guarantee that someone, somewhere, will try to (re)make the Indo-Greeks

It took clicking through the site several times, but I managed to find the scenario in question: http://web.archive.org/web/20010625144811/http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/4123/andrew.htm

Hey can people start spoilering the reddit posts? They load after the rest of the page and make it hard to read this on a phone.

So I decided to record my first playthrough as Tuscany (my usual go-to for testing out new mechanics). Matilda di Canossa (d.1101) Matilda di Canossa inherited the Duchies of Tuscany and Spoleto on the death of her brother, Federico I. She matrilinially married Hugues d'Ivrea, a descendant of...

I think the AUS suffers as a concept because the original one in HOI2 was such a weird grab-bag of figures, not helped by the last minute decision to shift their base of power from the Plains to the Solid South (which also removes what I think was the initial point behind the CSA's initials, a...

Part of what happened was that alternate linguistics just don't interest me and trying to come up with new word when OTL Welsh would work just as well was a surefire way to kill interest for me. The real reason, however, is 2019 was not a good year for me and I was simply under my covers for...

Hmm, alright then. In that case, I'll post this little mini update The British Language in Legacy of the Dragons. As I said in the OP, I'm not a linguist. I couldn't begin to tell you what a voiceless alveolar fricative is to save my life, and I'm looking at the Wikipedia article for that right...

Like I said in the OP, I'm not good with the technical aspects of linguistics, and sources on Old Brittonic are hard to come by. I'm kind of stuck with Modern Welsh for most terms as a result.
