Go go Stilicho! Round 2, Barbarians versus Rome seems imminent.

I don't remember, why is Thomas called Crouchback? Something with spine? I have a good feeling about Demetrios and Konstantinos. They are going to be... interesting. That Edward bit (with ghosts) was very powerful. Go go Ferdinand V and Benedetto! Giambattista somehow reminds me of...

Wow! I am really glad I managed to catch-up with this timeline! It's believable, original, but the British Monarchs are giving me a headache. I do like Thomas though. The Crusade and the Venetian Expedition are especially epic. I never realised that Ak Kounly was so powerful to spawn three...

Yes! One of my favorite timeline ideas, cliche or not, is a (longer) living Alexander. I'll be looking out for this.

I have recently been reading the "Carthage must be destroyed" by Richard Miles, and some of the figures of armies he mentions are simply astronomical. When I tried to check them up (the universal quick and dirty way, wikipedia), similar figures appeared. So, my question to those in the know...

A very nice update. Perhaps the Iberian Crusade would be a better title than the Spanish Crusade, if both Castilians and Portuguese are prominent? Oh, and Thomas is hilarious.

I don't know why, but I am getting a strong boss vibe from Charles. Can't wait for more updates about him.

A quality China wank, one that seems well researched and that has good background explanation? Sign me up!

Well, I'll be definitely following this. My total ignorance on the subject of Bulgaria has long since been due to be rectified.

Hm, perhaps I misremembered the Chandragupta bit. The main failing I can find with Ghost on the Throne is how enthralled the author is by the figure of Eumenes. Oh, and I wouldn't call it melodramatic. The word has an unfortunate ring to it. However, you can see that Romm, by the style of...

I think I read something similar in a book a couple of months ago. If memory serves, the book was called "Ghost on the Throne", by James Romm.

You are alive! :D Personally, I would like to see more Brasil, Francia and Eastern Empire.

Always reading, rarely posting. Sometimes, I long for the facebook option of "liking" posts.

Great TL, and a fascinating subject, of which I sadly don't know much. Hence, most of the time I can't make out head from tails on the history flow, the powers/kingdoms that be and other general information. A map could possibly do wonders. Also, I think that your literary parts are...

This thread and the previous responses deserves a detailed analysis which I at the moment I am incapable of delivering. So, I'll just mention some basic requirement and basic problems for the OP's request: -Kingdom SHS (future Yugoslavia) has two main factions, (in)conveniently consisting...

While I really do like cultural updates, especially yours, which are the most-detailed and "flavoured" I have ever seen, I still feel like you are tiptoe-ing around the main dish (the great war) which I can't wait to start heating up.

Sigh. I am well aware of the fact that Vojvodina is part of AH. As far as I understood the original poster, one of his questions was if Serbia acquiring Albanian territory would stop them from trying to take some of Austria-hungary's, and I answered that whatever the circumstance, Serbs will...

Uh. I don't think it's possible for Serbia to ever willingly give up on Vojvodina (at least the southern 2/3), because of the cultural significance of the Serbs there. As for the thing with Albania in 1912/1913, should Serbia acquire its coast, it would likely be ready to give Bulgaria the...

Sounds great. Eagerly awaiting for more.

I just wanted to drop by and say how impressed I am with the tl so far. Of the recent posts, I particularly liked the Portuguese update (and with some bias on my part) and the Serbian Wolves. :D
