Ricochet Alias: 'Captain America', Isaiah Bradley Ricochet is a legend in African American circles, predominately due to his reputation in WW1 as an excellent fighter pilot under French command, and his unusual skills behind a cockpit. This, as one can suspect, is the origin of his name...

Caliban Aliases; ? "Mutant" Ability: Outside Eating The mutant known as Caliban is an odd one. Although he does not have powers of magnetism nor shape changing, it is a power nonetheless. In this case, Caliban's powers relates to his eating. Caliban's powers is quite literally, his stomach...

Interesting TL Fearless Leader. I do admire how you have incorporated the drive for the anti-slavery movement of OTL into Hati and the results therein. My question is on the effects that it has in the Spanish ruled part of the island? Are they following Haiti's lead in governance/religious shift?

It's an interesting idea and please continue!

Wow - that is a lot of events. I do admire the bit about Bonny being an investigator of the poisoned food incident. Will this be a drive for that person to become something like an inspector based on that experience? I do like the Secret War as well. Keep going!

RE: comment I was actually referring to the wars that the British based kingdoms seem to be having with each other and/or neighbors. From there I was asking mostly about the possibility of them allying with themselves as a federation & then moving on to some larger state.

It's good - very British-centric this time. I'm wondering if the British kingdoms are a bit more technological advanced than their European counterparts and if any of those rulers have come up with a plan to get out of their civil strife for other opportunities.

So there's a tie between the Russians and the Japanese on what could be determined as a success. I do admire how the Koreans are independent with conditions. It's very middle in the road - with the extremes being of the QA/USA - and very well written.

Just curious - Will this be ever explained?

Great stuff - Tocomocho. I'm idly curious but is the QA consisting of Spain, Germany, Austria, and Hungary? With the whole interception of the US Fleet by the poor Peruvian fleet - perhaps an even stronger presence by Spain in that locale? No easy pickings eh?

Interesting bit - it seems that the Weihu are nibbling at the frontiers with some sort of alliance between realms forming up. Any effort for a pseudo-Roman Empire coming up?

The idea sounds appealing and I am interested in seeing more.

It is a very interesting piece to read. I do like that little poem that is inserted in between the first bit and the latter portion. It seems that in restoring the Roman Empire that vast control does not always equal to total control, especially with two larger entities contesting for...

Great stuff Tynnin. I'm curious on what will happen to Matthews and if the pirate colony will see him again. Just how developed are the Merina at this time to the point that they can full participate in the pirate trade as equals (i.e. as the many captains that come and go in Port Mission)?

oooo! Bigger Switzerland! I do like how you ironed out the alternate version of the Peace of Westphalia - and the creation of the nation state. Perhaps a stronger version of democracy then for the future will develop from this?

Yeah that's what I was shooting for but it's good either way. (shrugging face but we don't have it on this board) The walls of text is rather interesting because at least it explains it in a way that the dense names used in TTL and OTL begin to go off in the distance. On the whole...

I think that's the word for Chinese influenced. I'm curious if OTL's Chinese history has been changed at all compared to TTL's different movement of peoples. Why did the longer version of those names become adopted?

It is a good concept. I do point out (along with my fellow posters) that I'm a wee bit out of my depth here about the politics of various kingdoms and sub-kingdoms of pre-United Kingdom (England/Scotland/Wales). However that does not mean I'm -not- interested in the TL. I am keeping an eye...

good stuff Jaydoh - although I'm curious on the fact of the Uygurs/Weihu... namely are they Chinese based/influenced given TTL's name for them.

There seems to be a lot of backstabbing in the southern regions of Europe. I guess in other areas there is relative stability given the stronger governments/military power (i.e. Egypt). Keep up the good work!
