Needs more detail, probably a better title too. That said, it's not a bad effort for a first timer, and a hell of a lot better than when I tried to do a TL but I think you need to include a step-by-step progression of the personal and political reasons for each new development after the POD...
What's the deal with Australia, and why does it have the New Zealand colour?
Also, nice forethought on Lake Eyre etc., most future maps don't take them into account.
This is a simplification of one of my EUIII games as Muscovy, the year is 1700, I'm allied with Wu China, Poland (including South America, and Rhomania.
Glad to see this back, everytime I see an update to this TL I get excited and you've not disappointed.
Also congratulations I guess, but that's totally the minor news here.:p
I get the feeling from that update that Heraklios' rule, however long it turns out to be is going to be a particularly difficult one, given that he needed a distracting bear and threats of violence just to make his courtiers keel.
We can only hope and pray that b444 makes the time of troubles short.
I've been following this from the beginning and I love it, but this 10th crusade is probably going to be the most difficult war the Byzantines have ever been in, even with their allies there is little chance that in their weakened state Rhomania will win.
Two things I noticed strictly from an uneducated viewpoint:
1. I'm not sure how plausible the Byzantine/Abbasid or Byzantine/Mongol alliances are and
2. You need to put more detail into your TL particularly regarding the wider world, for example, why did the Abbasids/China collapse, why were...
IMO It was either Justinian or Charlemagne. They both held Rome, significant portions of Roman territory and considered themselves to be emperor of the Romans. The only reason Charlemagne should get this title is because he held it later that Justinian.
State of the Roman (Burgundian/French) Empire in 1821
Things of note:
1. Super Quebec
2. Culturally Irish Canadian "U.S"
3. Balkanised Iberia
4. Mecklenburg in Northern Russia
5. Lithuanian/Neapolitan Africa
6. Savoy in Western Australia
7. Scandinavian lower India
8. Huge Delhi
9. Chinese Japan...
I thought I'd try my hand at converting my game to UCS.
This is a rough approximation of what I believe my EU3 game will look like in the year 1900, please note that aside from central asia, central europe and africa the majority of these borders have remained the same as when the game ended in...
