Great start, I'll be following this. :)

If we get either Harbaugh brother out of this, this season might just be worth it. For me John would be preferable, but I doubt we'd be lucky enough to get one, let alone choose. Also there was a thread on mgoblog today saying that there were reports that John was not interested in the U-M...

lol, I was wondering if you were going to retcon Brady Hoke winning a Super Bowl in light of yesterday. *sigh*... I don't think Michigan will win another game this year. :(

Jason is really Alexander-esque in his ability to escape death, isn't he? :p Interesting to see how you brought up Jason solving the Gordian Knot, and how that obviously contrasts with Alexander. I imagine that was very significant. As you warned, Jason definitely has some challenges ahead...

THE LIONS WIN A PLAYOFF GAME WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I definitely understand what you mean on Brady Hoke. The Notre Dame game was my breaking point with him too. From what I've gathered Lloyd didn't want Les Miles to succeed him at Michigan; Lloyd...

Well, besides Rome salting the earth (which is a legend), those are good points -- Rome probably would be less hostile to Carthage in conquest without Hannibal. And it is possible that Rome might agree to peace and keep Carthage around until a third war -- I just think it's more likely that Rome...

I'm hoping to get something up on Friday or during the weekend. I've been a lot busier so far this semester than I expected to be. Classes, getting a job, managing a club, re-establishing a social life, and working on getting everything prepared to go to India next month has kept me very...

Hmmm... good points. I know you know a lot more about how Rome got involved in Greece than I do, so I think I'll bow to your opinion on this. My assumption was that there would be more of a pent up jingoistic energy after TTL's Second Punic War than IOTL, and the east is a natural target...

I have to disagree with those saying that the Iberians would abandon the Carthaginian army. Hannibal's Iberian allies were very much bound to the Barcid family. They had fought with and against Hannibal's father, Hamilcar, and Hannibal's brother-in-law, Hasdrubal the Fair, and had grown to...

As someone that is depressed with the current state of Michigan football, has the Browns' success using so many former Michigan players affected the trajectory of Michigan football? I have to imagine Lloyd would be using the Browns' success to his advantage.

Excellent updates sly! Exciting to see Jason's invasion underway. :cool:

I love how this is written, feels like the Twilight Zone! I look forward to more.

Thank you. That's an interesting idea. :cool: I have yet to figure out what exactly to do with the Jews ITTL, but it would be neat (and ironic :D) to have the resurrection of a native Egyptian dynasty be dependent on Jewish settlers in Lower Egypt. I've only just sorted out my computer...

I am sorry for derailing the thread, but I appreciate the help. You mean the DirectX installer, right? I ran that a million times before downloading the DirectX End-User Runtimes thing. Whenever I run it I get this error message: And I can't find DXError.log or DirectX.log on my computer...

It's in C:\Windows\System32 for me too. If I could ever figure out how to do a screen shot I'd post one. I did run it, at least I thought I did. I followed all of the steps according to this site: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/restoredx9dll.htm . It said extract and copy it...

Thanks for the response. :) No luck though. I can't figure it out... I manually put the d3dx9_41.dll file that came with the download from the first link alongside all the other DirectX stuff, and still the computer says that the file is missing. I followed all the instructions and still it...

Interesting update. I've been kind of waiting for Demosthenes to enter the fray; I wonder if he'll accomplish more ITTL.

Can anyone tech savvy help me out? OK, so this has been my odyssey. I had to replace my hard drive recently, so I've had to reinstall Crusader Kings II. It worked great before I got the new hard drive, but now it doesn't work. When I press play, I get the CD Key pop up; when I press play...

Well no, not in Caesar's day, before that actually. Bituitus and his father Luernios exercised a lot of influence across south-southeastern Gaul, and Gaul was in the process of urbanizing. Then Rome broke that up in 121 BC, defeating Bituitus, bringing the Allobroges under Roman rule, and then...

The answer is probably no one; as Blackfox points out, Rome had a number of quirks as a state that worked to its advantage that other states were unlikely to have. That said, I've always liked the idea of an Arverni-unified Gaul filling that role (or close to that role) in a world without Rome...
