I've been quietly reading this tl for some time, I usually feel somewhat lost as what to comment, however, I'd like to air my appreciation for the timeline in general. Been reading this for months now, and I am never disappointed. I really like how the Andreas/Vlad thing isn't straight out good...

Absolutely awesome for Georgia. I wish them the very best in their actions against the horde, as in my EU3 games I like to take charge of Georgia against the Golden horde. :D I also enjoyed the part on Novrogord Lithuania, and the previous update on Genoa fighting off Milan and the Pope. Much...

F-yes Al-Anadlus survives! F-yes Genoa doesn't get wrecked! F-Yes looks like we're heading into a possible Roman war on the Italian peninsula! I'm also deeply intrigued on how the Avigonese-Orthdox relations will pan out as both of them become more disgruntled with the Pope in Rome. I'm not...

No! Long live Al-Andalus and Genoa!

Hmmm....Jihad? So now all Muslim states are more hostile toward the Byzantines than they already were? Maybe I'm reading a little too into this as the wording didn't seem to affect the Muslim Byzantine soldier, sounds like a bad omen though...

Awesome update! I'm sensing future implications between the Kings of Poland and their new Slovak vasal state in the future clashes with the Sejm...interesting stuff! The Serbian expansionist dream was also fun to read about, and the mercenary knights they have out for hire. I wonder, when...

Yay, the empire reunited! An interesting way to end the war too, for sure. The end of the tribute to Serbia and Bulgaria...do I sense a Northern campaign (or a southern one from their perspectives) upcoming? Would this new dynasty risk the earlier treaty with the Hungarians or do they consider...

Just spend some good time reading this in one setting, fantastic TL! How long are you planning to continue this on till? The rise of nationalism could be very interesting in this scenario. Loved the five sided civil war, very original idea, pulled off well. Wish Venice and the Byzantines didn't...

Well, if there is absolutely no way for them to join the entente, then what if they decided to play it safe and stick to neutrality? (I'm assuming that is something more realistic though I could be wrong.) I mean Cook already pointed out it would slightly hamper the Ottomans, and obviously...

I don't have a source, but it actually is quite likely, given the legacy of the Balkan wars (especially the 1st) and Bulgaria's territorial ambitions. Hell, even without the Bulgarian flank secure, you've still got a potentially dangerous Greece, and the entente that could attempt an attack via...

Pretty much what the title says, what if allied diplomats had been successful in either keeping Bulgaria neutral or winning it over completely to their camp? How would this have affected the other powers involved in the war, and how might the outcome of the final peace settlements change for...

Excellent timeline, thats all I have to say really.

Except that Nazism never arose as a political ideology in this tl, and the communists, for the most part turned out much less brutal. :p I have just been trolled, haven't I?

Excellent update, I am loving this mini-prison story! I have no idea where this is going, and to me, that is a good thing, it is making it engrossing reading. Thank you Expat for taking on Rast's posting duties!

Interesting update! I'd say more, but until we hear of the Swedes' reactions, what is there to say! I do wonder what those letter entail that could possibly be of such value with the dire situation Poland is in now...
