Great start! Theirs already been a few Ransa victorious timelines on this board-i cant wait to see your interpretation!

Yep. War and plague. And famine. And fratricide. In this case at least, the game perfectly mimics what Westeros will be like after the war of the 5 kings ends.

War is hell. I am playing in the Roberts rebellion scenario as Willem Dustin ( husband of Barbary Dustin in the books.) After slaying the kingsguard, things were looking up: i had a son, Brandon, powerful alliances with the Ryswells and an OK army. And the Eddard Stark died of natural...

Well, having finally won as Robb stark, i've now turned my attention to winning as Stannis. Unfortunately, in every single playthrough, he has gained the LUNATIC trait, meaning vassals that previously only hated him, now believe that he is the spawn of Satin ( or the Westerosi equivalent) and...

Steffon caught me because i didn't want to disband at Harrenhal and lose alot of men. So it tried to get to friendly territory only to be intercepted.... Its Renly i'm facing-hence why no Maegary marriage. And depite having the Reach and the Stormlands, he's losing against Dorne, Crownlands...

Derp. I meant natural causes, which still meant no sense. Anyway, i did indeed try all these steps. Unfortunately, Renly didn't die ( so no Maegary,) i defeated Tywin at Harrenhal and rescued Arya only to be immediatly curbstomped the Ser Steffons army before i could escape and disband, and with...

Playing as Robb stark is ridiculous. On onel ets play, the greyjoys invaded ( easily defeated.) Then the Lannisters ( both armies) captured most of the Riverlands. Then, just as my big-ass army was returning south robb stark died OF OLD AGE AT 18!!!!???? and then Brain dead Edmure Tully STARTED...

Seriously? what is with the support of Alfred the great? I know Richard III has a " fan club" but..... I for one would enjoy a " Viking" victory TL ( Alfred dosn't even have to die-if anything, him escaping to Frankia to continue his fight could be more interesting.)

Of all the PODs of the war of the roses, this one has, to me, been one of more interesting. In 1452, after successfully eliminating his rival the duke of Suffolk, Richard, Duke of york, rose up in rebellion in order to "clear the realm of bad governance." In truth, it was an attempt to eliminate...

Yay! It's not dead! Just a thought-this assassination attempt seems utterly out of the blue. Is this really just his cousin going mad? Or is this part of a larger conspiracy?

Good points. For the sake of this WI, lets say that Edward is killed, but both his brothers escape.

One of more forgotten battles of the Cousins ( or war of the roses)- despite being close to London and, more significantly, the site of the earl of Warwick Richard Nevilles, the Kingmakers death. In a plot almost out of game of thrones, The earl of Warwick had helped the early of Marsh ( future...

Actually, in medieval England it was a legal REQUIREMENT to carry a sword/dagger around with you at all times ( except in homes or in cities) to kepp the peace.

An estimated 40,000 auxiliaries, including Chinese and maybe Islamic engineers and auxiliaries, accompanied the mongols to Europe according to some accounts.

Doesn't the Song have more people, more unity, and more cities than any European kingdom. Indeed, at the time of the first Mongol invasion under Genghis, just 1 Chi'n city contained more people that the entire Mongol nation. Comparing this to the smaller, less populated and less unified European...

I really think you underestimate the sheer disciplined, fast moving, utterly ruthless killing machine that is the Mongol army. This force is not only (by this point) larger than most European forces, its also much more advanced, much better led (Tsubodai, Mongoke, Guyuk, Batu) and more...

I'm not to sure about some of this. If the POD is based in the "dark ages" 1200-750 BC, then the butterflies will eliminate the Persians, medians and other cultures that historically appeared post POD.Indeed, if we're talking about a middle eastern power like the Assyrians, than the Lydians will...

To add petrol to a fire, the macedonians prior to the Archaic/golden age greece was colonised mostly by Thracian, Illyrian and Paonian greeks, before mingling and adopting Dorion greek culture and people. Hence why Alexander had to prove his greek linage as a descendant of the Heraklede to prove...

I think Alfred the great would count for being both a good administrator, warrior and planting the seeds for what was to be "England." Hywel Dda of wales should also count, for uniting the whole of wales. despite huge cultural and geographical differences, and also for making laws that, for...
