Oof very sad the combine is operating this deep into the Pacific. If they’re in the Carolines (to the south of the Marianas, also a Spanish possession until the late 18th Century OTL) LTTW might see a complete loss of non instrumental Pacific navigation.
OTL navigators from Satawal revived the...
One thing I’m wondering since I live there currently, who owns the Marianas? OTL Guam passed to American control after the Spanish American War and Germany bought Saipan and the northern Islands.
That’s all obviously butterflied away. I could see the islands going the way of the Phillipines...
You’ve built a really cool and unique 20th century China. LTTW consistently succeeds in subverting the OTL narrative that a society needs to somehow “westernize” to keep apace of societal, economic, and technological growth. The Matetwa and Mauré are great examples but this China is definitely...
Based on the Combine’s policy towards rainforests, and their current/eventual control of the Amazon, the Congo Basin, Borneo, and New Guinea, it seems the Jungle episode of a LTTW version of “Planet Earth” might be pretty short.
I wonder if the Singaporeans were as worried about legions of Hibernian steam tricycles sweeping down the Malay Peninsula as the LTTW Germans were about Russian armarts on the Northern European Plain.
If the Pandoric War is a WWI analog and the conflict of the Black Twenties is as global as its making out to be, their Third AND Fourth World Wars saw nukes used. An 85 year old in this timeline's 2019 could have fought in the Sunrise War just to see the carytic weaponry flying all over again a...
Cool! An ENA legal system! I've forgotten whether Michigan is the name of a confederation or a province of the ENA, but assuming that plotting a death-luft attack is an Imperial rather than Confederal or Provincial crime the Michigan Assizes would be the rough equivalent of a Federal district...
Great update about Bundeskaiser Anton’s grave decision. Source B is certainly one of those touches that give LTTW a distinctively authentic feel. A musical adaptation of historically significant events reimagined with modern styles feels in a similar vein to something like Hamilton in OTL...
I first started reading LTTW the better part of a decade ago, currently on Volume 3 of my reread and very happy to see updates.
Since I recently started law school I’ve been wondering how the legal system of the ENA works, as divergences in the mid 18th century would drastically alter the...
