Interesting, I'm not really familiar with the Majapahit, but they look quite interesting from the brief overview I did of the Wikipedia article. I'm sure I could derive a good amount of inspiration from them. I suppose potentially I could even make it full out alternate history with that as the...

Here's a map I've been working on recently, and my first real effort at map-making. It's a map of part of the Indonesian archipelago in an alternate fantasy world, where it is the home of a very wealthy and powerful maritime Empire (though not very centralised - lots of kings and princes rule...

Thank you! And I suppose at this point I should thank Hnau and Maniakes for all their help with this TL so far. This would not be possible without your help.

Correct! That is indeed my POD. ;) I'll try to get the next chapter written and posted before too long, but it may be a little while as I have university and various other time-consuming activities to contend with.

Defender of the Faith Part I A Royal Prince I Duke of Albany [1] On Wednesday, 19 November 1600, shortly past midday, in the grim confines of Dunfermline Palace, ‘the fort on the crooked Linn,’ a second son and third living child was born to James VI of Scotland by his...

You did well with that map, though. That's what matters. Not necessarily winning.

That sounds like the sort of thing I'm looking for. What book is this? I'm trying to find good books on the Thirty Years' War.

Anyone? What event could spark off a war similar to the thirty years' war in OTL? Perhaps something in the newly-independent Dutch Republic, or another event in the HRE, as in OTL, but something other than the defenestration of Prague?

I'm currently working on a TL with a strong focus on an alternate 30 Years' War (probably won't be 30 years long, but has similar qualities to OTL's conflict). Since the POD takes place over a decade before the outbreak of war in OTL, I'm thinking about giving this TL's *Thirty Year's War a...

For diamonds to not be discovered in the Boer republics. Before the discovery of diamonds, the Boer republics were regarded as not much of a threat; with diamonds they were able to become wealthier than the Cape Colony. They were thus able to create their own railways and to access the coast...

Max Sinister's Chaos TL is based on that premise. As is my own Empires of the East scenario. I stopped working on it, since I don't know enough about the period and it's too ambitious of a project, but the thread I created for it has plenty of discussion on the effects of Genghis Khan dying...

I believe it's because a lot of the elements of celebrating Christmas that are retained today were first introduced in the 19th Century. Like how the Christmas tree (which originated in Germany) only really caught on in Britain after Victoria married Albert (in 1840). And then of course...

He was next in the line of succession. Here's a list of all the children of Charles I and Henrietta Maria (except for the three who died at very young ages, and would be long out of the picture): Charles II (1630-1685) Mary (1631-1660) James II (1633-1701) Elizabeth (1635-1650) Henry...

His brother, James II.

The OP is talking about the 1857 rebellion...

Not all of India was involved in the 1857 Rebellion. Only the North-east region along the Ganges was affected. There were fears amongst the British that the Sikhs of the Punjab would rebel as well, but that did not come to pass. Even so, all of southern India should remain under British control...

Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta were among the earliest EIC colonies. The EIC gained the right to tax and administer Bengal in 1757. Similar powers were gained in Bihar and Orrissa in 1764. Most of Mysore was in British hands by 1799. Half of Awadh was ceded in 1801, and the rest became essentially...

Voted for Alex Richards. Really liked his Alsace-Lorraine maps.

I really like this one.

Yeah, I agree. That was a very nice touch. I voted for Haiti though, for having the most interesting story behind it.
