map request hey everyone! does anyone happen to have a North America map with 1850 divisions on it? i'm looking for one that i could use the UCS on, ideally. thanks!

warning, this is a different type of post than most of you are used to! it isn't a timeline yet, but when i write the After Action Reports for all 4 games (Crusader Kings, EU3, Victoria and Hearts of Iron 2) I might either post those here or I might make a timeline. It won't follow history and...

hmmm this is a really good "what if?" i wanted to let you know that first. secondly, i think the world would have been stranger. quite a patchwork of little empires and cultures all over the place. carthage never really had the manpower to go on huge conquests like rome did, they would have...

what do you mean by landlocked? do you mean a nation calling itself china develops and remains in the interior of the region we currently know as china? or something else?

actually...i was thinking (dangerous right? lol) if you have a group of dedicated ice breakers, you could possibly keep the james and hudson bays open all winter long. it would be very expensive, but if canada had no other choice, than it is possible. then, you could operate it year round. i...

i am sure the area could support a higher amount of people than it currently does, although the maximum limit would probably be well below 500,000. Hudson Bay does freeze over. not entirely, but it does get blocked from the Arctic...

nazi pop culture i am imagining a lot of really repugnant and odious bands like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussian_Blue_%28duo%29 lol.

here's a POD Professor Barry Fell (America B.C., etc) is correct. Phoenicians, North Africans/Libyans, CeltIberians and others extensively traded with and settled North America as early as 1500 B.C. not only would this make the American Indians resistant to Euro plagues, but when their...

you do bring up some legitimate points, but i don't think he was writing this setting strictly as a "what if" scenario. there are clearly liberties taken with what would most likely happen. in the first three books though, he does show the evolution of the girls' tolkien based group.

well, if we are strictly in the realm of ASB here, why not just make it so that there is an ore, say, Orichalcum, which, when subject to heat, has unusually strange properties, such as the ability to cancel out the mass of objects. for those of us rooted in science, i dunno, say this Orichalcum...

alright listen, here's the deal. read the books. they are fun, it is an alternate history story, and you get to debate in your head what you think would most likely happen, as opposed to what happens in the books. what people have to remember, and what they always fail to remember, is that...

sequel i remember there was talk of a sequel for a while. something where the president was going insane from his "telepathic link" and the aliens returned as a menace. either with a second mothership or survivors on the surface ruins. i remember reading it in one of the comic or sci-fi mags...

i would love to respond to this, but i am almost entirely ignorant of the state of the spanish empire at this time. do you have any sites showing this information by any chance? this is a really interesting POD.

awww he is from Belgium, english probably isn't his first language! he deserves a break! ; _ ;

ye gods well, if this happens, the allies are well and good effed up the a. the USA is cut in half at best, with ashfalls in excess of ten to twenty feet across the breadbasket, and even places like Chicago, Minneapolis and Detroit covered in a smothering blanket. Millions would die in the...
