No, It's a mater of gameplay compromise (there is no other nearby culture group in which it makes sense to put them in, and creating a culture group for a single culture is not a wise decision considering gameplay experience), a flame thread on their forum, where it enraged Albanians (they'd...
Why not Yugoslavia? In otl, we had Yugoslavia without Bulgaria or Albania being part of it, although everyone agrees on Bulgarians being South Slavs, and many consider Albanians being South Slavic for the large part (well, at least the guys over at Paradox Interactive do, as seen in EU IV) .
Questions of Montenegro, Albania and Kosovo become also very interesting in this scenario. This Yugoslavia would almost certainly have ambitions in entire Kosovo and northern Albania, and Montenegro becomes either fully integrated part of it or its puppet state. I can potentially see a...
In the 19th century, a general course and the very ideas of Yugoslavian union were formed, based on the union of German people into a single state.
In order for Yugoslavia to happen in Serbia, a standardisation and a reform of Serbian language was made, but was done in a way that a literary...
To me new, Microsoft Surface seems like they finally "got" the consumers. But I am a Linux type of fella, so we'll see... Question is how plausible it is to happen in 2008-2009? I say there was a decent chance, if some changes were to be applied (Yahoo acquisition and reorganization around it...
If Microsoft were to invest 45 Billion, it is reasonable to assume they intend to protect their large investment. What would that include? Integration of MSN/Live/Bing with Yahoo products, where in after a year we would see only one elegant enhanced version that should be better than both, so it...
But would it be a failing company if it was to become part of Microsoft Corp? Maybe joined together with Microsoft, they would be able to have an upper hand on Google?
Yahoo was bought by Verizon couple of months ago for only 4.8 billion. Now compare that to 45 billion in 2008 and you see something went terribly wrong with Yahoo. They were beaten badly by Google.
What would Internet look like today? Where would giants like Youtube, Google, Facebook, etc. stand today? Would general user experience on the Internet be better or worse? What about privacy protection issues?
I have an idea. Civil war emerges in USA in the time of great depression(which is even worse than in OTL). America gets through a rough civil 10 years lasting war, only to become fascist and a lot weakened. Britain, Canada and Mexican forces together attack and defeat them after they go on a...
Very nice work. I enjoyed reading it. Quite a few questions i got here.
1. About a kingdom of Serbia, it is supposed to unite with Bulgaria, because of the marriage? When is this going to happen? Did Bulgarians help kingdom of Serbia during '85-'87 war with socialists? How come they (Serbs) are...
Supposing cold war continued, and multipolar world persisted through 80s and 90s to 21st century, perhaps by tottally different Gorbacov politics, and lets say Boris Yeltsin never got to be a factor in USSR, can we see Yugoslavia surviving nineties? If so, what happens with non-aligned movement...
I am wondering when was the right time and what should have been done, (probably in the 1980s), in order to prevent civil war, nationalism and violent break up of country 10 years later? What would that scenario look like? How would that reflect on today's world?
