Rather pathetic looking, it does control pieces of those states though. A strong ruler could perhaps make it larger though, a lot of rebelious counties that act as independent countries, many petty states within states. What's on the western frontiers of these states? Do we have to populate and...

Words have different meanings around here, just like the word "barrel" means tank.

Um, isn't Georgia supposed to be one of the Eastern Seaboard states that is part of the United States? In the United States it would be the Dutchy of Georgia and run by a Duke, at least that was my impression. What states should compose the United States? How about Massachusetts, Connecticut...

I think you have ruins or you don't, if the ruins exist people will exploit them, that probably means entire armies equipped with full plate mail as scrap iron and steel would be so cheap, its more of a GammaWorld type scenario. The Roman Ruins didn't have so much steel in it, New York Ruins do...

Here is a map of Medeaval New York, it is basically the British Headquarters Map of 1776, but it is a world of horses, carriages and wooden ships in the Medeaval ages just like in 1776 only with the absense of gunpowder weapons so the layout is the same. I'm assuming no ruins, I'm not assuming...

That is scary, someone in charge of his country would be in a much better position to betray it. I think a character like Arnold if he decided not to betray his country then, might look for further opportunities to betray it later, he might attempt to make himself dictator, we might have an...

I think a nuclear war that targets the cities would kill city folk disproportionately, wouldn't it? One thing I know about cities in America, is that they contain disproportionate percentages of minorities, they are over represented in the nation as a whole in the cities and underepresented in...

He responded directly after my comment, so I assume he's responding to it, if he don't like what I said about Hitler, he can say so! If he really objects to what I'm saying, and it wasn't about my joke on Hitler, then he can respond to some of my comments that he finds more objectionable, but...

I have a suggestion then. Have you ever read the book Riverworld by Phillip Jose Farmer? He got all his characters there by having them wake up mysteriously on the banks of a river, everyone who has ever lived wakes up on Riverworld, and all those people had previously died and had thus been...

Actually, only Florida is subtropical, most of the South is warm temperate, it simply has longer growing seasons and mild winters.

If you collapse all the buildings most of the surface of Manhattan will consist of piles of broken rubble concrete, glass, steel etc, even if nothing works, much of this material would still be available for the forging of swords and armor for example. If you wanted a suit of full plate mail, a...

I agree, lets let the South remain the South and lets not turn it into west Africa or Haiti.

He's running a gossip mill, sharpening his knife and making a personal attack! No sense of humor. :rolleyes: What's the rant about making a joke about Hitler doubling for Charlie Chaplin? Is this attack Tom Kalbfus week, or am I just not properly in line with your views about things? I notice...

I have a question. I know you don't like to talk about origins, but what are we going to do about Manhattan? How would you like to portray it? Does it resemble the Manhattan in the television series Life After People? Are there huge towers overshadowing everything with broken windows, trees...

What's there to read? This is your first post, unless your refering to the "Japanese goddess." I think the most obvious way for Russia to colonize America is through Alaska. I can imagine a timeline in which the Russians expanded through Siberia through the Middle Ages, then crossed over into...
