  1. Kind of alternate history but...

    Man, this is worse then 1984. It's like this: Take 1984, get in some WH40K grimdark, and FallOut (of course), and combine those. Now, put this cocktail in a microwave oven for an hour and you get this game. Or, as a possible war scene would be: There were nothing stopping those Celts...
  2. What Would They Think?

    He could still console himself with the fact that his code of law is one of the most influential codes on Earth. And that his bloodline survives and (in a way) still sits on a throne - the Swedish.
  3. What Would They Think?

    The most positive reaction could potentially come from Brazil. They don't certainly expect themselves to have 2 10 million+ cities, a strong position globally and a economy that, while not perfect, thrives. And lots of international prestige, especially in sports.
  4. Europa Universalis III

    My finished HRE from Burgundy Game - I took it slow to explore other possibilities then "CONQUER CONQUER CONQUER!". My Burgundy years were at first, pretty easy - ganied the position of Emperor quickly and kept it. Then it got bad when France started to DoW me. Those wars went on - losing...
  5. WI: Marco Polo brings back the Art of War

    You need someone to win a battle with one of Tzu's ideas as a factor in the outcome by a big and decisive margin. However... I'm not keen on those chances either.
  6. New AHC: Battles that Happened Otherwise

    Napoleon manages to reestablish his position in Europe pre-1812 after some long tough years, and eventually, the Bonapartists can breathe a sign of relief. Battle of Magnano, 1799, Rev. France vs. Austria
  7. Consequences of a Ottoman Granada

    How about extended and intensified divisions amongst the Christian kingdoms, culminating in the small states having much more distinct and different cultures by the late 1300's (assuming that someone doesn't unite Iberia)?
  8. Asian Invasion

    All right, I'll take the former, almost ASB route. You could have a more devastating Black Death in Europe (maybe it mutates along the way) and still it will not fix the problems of the Chinese society and needs. To put it simply - China needs to be divided and locked in a state of conflict...
  9. Things that look like ASB but aren't

    The very existence of civilization. A hunter-gatherer would probably ask: "How could our descendants keep so many people under control?"
  10. DBWI: WI humans lived longer?

    OOC: Then again, in this world we can assume that disruptions in the cell level occurs at a faster rate, thereby making the mid-30s look like the OTL 60s.
  11. DBWI: WI humans lived longer?

    Then we would be as just a burden for our society as a whole. People have noticed the effect of aging in each other (and some reportedly in animals). Theoretically, the effect would increase in severity until the body can't take it anymore. Let's say that people would be living skeletons in...
  12. 10th-13th century PoDs

    How about the Marinids reestablishing a foothold in Spain during their invasion (with a possible conflict involving Castile as POD)?
  13. When did the Roman Empire become Byzantine?

    I personally say the division, which firmly established two separate states with separate identities.
  14. Favourite "Total War" game?

    Rome. I still play Vanilla sporadically.
  15. The Most Overused POD Situation

    Anything involving Hitler, and a lot about Stalin.
  16. Highly underused PODs with great potential

    Thanks a lot. :D What if Asoka's state had held on longer in India?
  17. Highly underused PODs with great potential

    Has a 19th century Chinese Civil War been used?
  18. Highly underused PODs with great potential

    Oh, mixed the names up. Anyhow, the Parthians could send raiding parties to Roman-held areas nearby, but would that be a stretch for their logistics?
  19. Highly underused PODs with great potential

    What if the Parthians tried to push the Romans further back after Carrhae?
  20. Video Game Map Thread

    My old RTW (1.0) game as the Greeks, which I began exactly a year ago (and ended 1 month later): Legend: Beige - Me. Blue - The Britons Red - The Roman Remnant of... Gaul? Tan - The Iberians White - Carthage Orange - Scythia Rest are to insignificant to cover.
