Thank you! *And* I got Marguerite's name wrong. I think, though, a very young Edward of Westminster would have the same problems as his father. Thisis probably no help at all to the OP, but I think Reginald Pecock ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reginald_Pecock ) could be realistically...

Could Margaret of Anjou have a different personality? Or, much earlier, find some reason to think Edward of York (Edward IV's father) is better as an ally than an enemy?

Thanks for those very clear and satisfying answers. Also, compliments on the interesting kuru and the muvelu; and their consequences. (a very small isolated population of denisovians probably wouldn't be viable in the long run, so I withdraw the suggestion, except for adventure stories.)

Thank you for that latest update. I especially love the first contact between the Potosi and the Sad Ho, with both men trying to make sense of the other. Perhaps there could be room for at least a small relic population of predominately, if not pure, Denisovans somewhere in the Andes or...

I think if you do intend to make them able to survive only on a highly carnivorous diet, that will do it. They'll fare worse even before agriculture, in the seasons of little game. If they adapt agriculture to stock raising, it will still mean less return for the labour. If you wanted, since...

I love the neanderthal Nile farmers being there for the fishing. Will they be introducing plant crops into their fish farms, or do you feel they're more carnivorous than our own branch? I did wonder if they might, not really domesticate hippopotomus, but control and crop their populations...

I'm afraid I don't speak Spanish; but I think the carrot idea a good one. Belfast's excellent suggestion might lead to a complex utilising fish and/or waterfowl farming?

Interesting and original. Subscribed.

Just reminding you that, though not as good as horses, bulls can be an effective riding animal. Also, in the larger equine populations, 5% immunes give you a breeding hersd. Will you throw dice to find out who gets them?

Perhaps more horticulture than agriculture; not so much grain as leaf and root crops? I think the Mesolithic people were heading that way.

To start off with some obvious things: Epaminondas dies earlier or later Phillip or Alexander dies at Chaeronea Refugees from the Ionian Revolt...another Greek colony in Magna Graecia, one influential man in Athens or Syracause.

This is good and convincing. Would you have time to interpose an occasional note about the everyday life, the institutions, and/or the arts; especially how they differ from otl?

Thank you for this splendid Near East update. Yusuf and Mozorov are both very interesting, and I hope they turn out as well as they'd wish. Fingers crossed for both the Ottomans and Persia!

Loving this; the Antigeneia and Muwatalli scene is just right. Thank you for the good historical notes and map, too.

A few basic suggestions. Celtic kingdoms in south Britain and Gaul. The Spanish Celts last much longer, much stronger. Persia might stay Parthian longer, and expand more. Even so, there's room for a strong Seleucid state to its west/northwest. It would be interesting to see the Hellenic...

Subscribed! I find this area of history very interesting. (And there's just a touch of Sutcliff's post-Roman Britain, which I like, too.)

I don't know much about this area of history, but I'm following this tl with interest. Besides being original, it seems to me to have the right scale of detail.

Lord McCartney's mission to China took clockwork, though it didn't go down too well. Would any customer be interested in the others' art? If one place is definitely ahead in some science (medicine comes to mind) apprentices might regularly chose to emigrate. You'll already have taken into...

Pirates or hostile powers?

That first chapter's certainly well written! I'm subscribed.
