I like how the explosive effects of saltpeter was discovered, I like even more that it didn't exactly be a hit overnight. These things take time, awesome. Ceylonia is both trouble independent and conquered. I don't know whats going to happen, but I feel sorry for the common man of Ceylonia...

I was wondering what the relationship between Rome and Tibet is. I mean they have such a long border. I love the concept of the Elephantis Maximus. The though that something that was first military, than civilian, will become used as entertainment is quite cool. And, I think, origonal...

I like the concept of expanding the roadways to be used with elephants. It completely fits the way you have set Rome up. I mean first they built the roads to cover all areas of the expanding empire, and then they update it when new techniques are developed. I can see them creating a...

On the timeline forum, I am not sure. I do know that all timelines there must have at least 2000 words (which you easily pass). But on being finished or no, I am not sure.

Thats cool, I was kinda joking. While I would like Rome to conquer as much of the world as possible, some areas are better independent than conquered. So its all cool. You scare me with the hinting of strnage things. While the fact that I know (as you directly told me) that Rome will in the...

Thats cool. Of course I'll like it. As long as the Roman Empire continues to exist as a solid single entity and takes over the world, :D I'll like it. As this timeline progresses I like more and more what's happening.

To be honest, I didn't realize how populated and large the Azores are in OTL. They are a pretty nice stepping stone and territory. Are you planning on having a war between the Wei Empire and Rome? I really like how almost all cultural groups within the Roman Empire have had an Emperor at...

Yeah, thats true. Thinking about it now, I can think of half a dozen examples of just that. So, still using what I said but adding what you said, why not have him come into power. He rules as the First Man for a few decades and does a lot of reorganization. At the end point of his life he steps...

I have to disagree about killing off Octavian. During his rule he tried to preserve the Republic as much as possible. What you need to do is have him realize late in life is that Rome could operate an Empire with the Senate in charge. Maybe he decides that what he did was a means of perserving...

I love it. Especially the Atlantis - Azores part. Its quite cool.

I like the spread out nature of Roman cities. Using such bastions of Roman culture as the corner stones, it really does make sense how Rome staid strong. In the OTL, Rome itself was the bastion for Roman citizens, all other places were part of the Roman Empire but not really *Roman* for the most...

This is quite good. I was wondering, though, if it would be possible for you to make a map. I have found that maps make understanding the political situation so much easier.

I like it. I think that the way the events played out are quite plausible considering the timeline. You know, I just had a thought. Rome has the concept of adoption that when one adopts a person into his family, the individual becomes of that family completely. In this, if the last of the...

That actually sounds awesome, I really like it. It also makes sense, I mean the leaders of the Empire (in this case the Senate) are going to make sure that they can do all that it takes to make sure Rome survives. By adding this admendment, they get what they need. Plus, I really like (after...

I agree with Sargan, I feel sorry for Vespasion. Is Attilus actually loyal to Rome. I mean if he is and what he is doing is to remove a threat to Roman success, I have no problem with what he is doing. Loyalty to Rome is great. At the same time, the moment he takes up arms against Rome he...

Thats cool. So I'm guessing that Chao Lou will fall to the Romans, just like Rome fell to barbarians in OTL.Personally, I think that a small, but strong, Chinese state would actually be better for Rome. In otherwords having the Wei Empire survive with a somewhat lesser territory than all of...

Just to clarify, cause you mentioned you weren't so sure about its meaning. Imperator was orgionally an honor paid to a general who had won a great victory; later conferred upon the sumere head of the Empire. Thus, the closest to the word Emperor in the ancient Romans was Imperator, that is...

Yes and no. I actually do what to know how the Roman legions would do up against the Chinese military. Its part of me wanting to know all things Rome. At the same time, yes, it could be an interesting part of your timeline. That is, of course, if you choose to accept it.

I like it. The acceptance of Indian culture makes sense, as does the adoption of most things. I really like the elephants. The way you introduced the steam engines was awesome. I like how it was by looking into the past. The entire knowledge loving Emperor concept is simply beautiful. I have...

Lets, for the sake of arugment, say that Rome has conquered India, Parthia, and Arabia. How would Roman legions that have all that do against the Chinese army. Logiscal issues aren't really issues in this because Rome has control right up to the boundry. I was just wondering how the fighting...
