So from what I can understand, to have a Byzantine/Roman restoration spearheaded by the Turks, something like this would need to happen: The Latin Empire gets taken over by Bulgaria/some non-naval non-roman power The Mongols force the Turks out of Eastern and (most of) Central Anatolia but are...

Maybe the Latin Empire stays a threat for longer or Epirus takes Constantinople first and then takes control of the marmaran coast and the Turks and Nicaeans aren’t powerful enough to take each other out. The Turks could be persuaded to migrate east if the Mongol are feeling especially bad.

What if the Nicaeans really need soldiers for a war they're fighting and the Turks go further west in hopes of escaping the Mongol Horde. Could the Nicaeans allow them to settle there as long as they converted to Christianity/paid a higher tax and served in the military?

You're right but what I'm asking for is a recovery like this, but spearheaded by the Turks.

That's in line with what I meant. A turkish dynasty taking over the Byzantine Empire/marrying with the ruling dynasty so much they become indistinguishable.

Could the Turks and Greeks unite and reform the ERE after the 4th crusade? By that I mean a state in which the majority of people are either Turkish, Greek or a mix of both (all these groups living mostly peacefully with each other) conquers Constantinople and revives the Roman Empire. The...

Preventing the black death is easy, you could just prevent the Mongols from using dead bodies in sieges, or just prevent them altogether. The tricky part is getting Europeans to go to America, I suppose you could advance naval technology by 1 to 2 centuries or so, meaning the caravel already...

Either France Antartique or Brésil, the former was the name of the short-lived French "colony" (more like a few forts and a port) IOTL and the latter is the French name for brazilwood, which IOTL gave Brazil its name. Edit: Though I guess it could also be named after a French saint.

This is an English board, please type in that language or at least provide a translation. Also, wtf does French patriotism have to do with this TL, if anything they're losing here.

I think the most likely way for it to affect Trebizond is for it to affect Hungary and/or Morea. For the former, this war could allow them to annex the Duchy of Carinthia, securing their western border and allowing them to focus on the Porte, or they could get caught up in the war and the...

But you have to consider that the Ottomans are surrounded on all sides by enemies and that those enemies have incredibly easy access to the Ottomans core. Trebizond, however, has a friendly Georgia in their eastern border along with having just secured it, the only threat to Trebizond that isn't...

Abydos (hellespont)?

As long as the Turks allow them to exist and don't persecute Christians the Romans still have no reason to invade them.

Muslims have had Jerusalem for roughly 600 years by now, sure the crusade took It back but that also won't last long (and the crusaders are Catholic). Nobody except the pope gives a fuck whether or not some Turkish dudes conquer Jerusalem.

Hey @Averious, you should probably post an explanation of your TL. It doesn't seem like you're going to win, at least when I'm writing this, but it would help make more people discover your TL, if you want that.

ah, I mean, that would have caused more trouble than its worth now wouldn't it? And it's not like Rome hasn't gone through a few mad emperors.

I think they are loyal to Trebizond rather than the Emperor.

It looks like you're going to win. You have 33 votes. You should probably give a description of your TL.

Have a more successful Isaurian dynasty. They beat the Bulgarians, securing the Danube border, but lose Italy due to iconoclasm. They then use the money they gained from looting Bulgaria and the Empire's churches to rebuild Anatolia. After a while, you could have them reconquer Eastern Anatolia...
