According to legend, Cyrus the Great was supposed to be executed as an infant by his Grandfather, the king of Media, but was saved. What if this doesn't happen? What happens to Media?

I'm curious to see your thoughts. Sparta did have the first constitution, and had a system of checks and balances over it's two kings, and seemed to have the freedom to openly disagree with the government. In theory, any Spartan man who was old enough could run for gerousia and the ephors...

Not another game! :eek: OK, I searched for it, and there seems to be no games like this so... We all make a city in a location in the year 10000 B.C., and advance our city state to become empires and so on. No histories at first. The plan is to make all of the cities first, than expand them...

What the title says. Is it any possible for any Native American nation to become powerful enough to not end up in shambles and colonized by the Europeans i.e. the Aztecs? How would it be possible?

What will follow will likely become a Jomsviking/Norwegian Wank, though I’ll try my best to be realistic. (Though I'd have to assume that a BA Mercenary Warrior Order Wank is bound to be successful :p) This is my take on the Vinland cliché, though this first post may not sound like that at all...

Does anyone have any good sources on him? I would like to know more about how his mercenary jomsviking army felt about him. If anyone has a good site on this kind of topic, please post it for me, preferably from an online source. (NOT WIKIPEDIA) BTW he is also known as Sigvaldi...

I'm sure this has been done a million times, but I'm curious nonetheless. What if Alexander the Great had not died at his early age? And what might he have done with his extra time? Other ideas than the timeline ongoing right now please.

Just wondering...

Instead of fighting the Peloponnessian Wars, make Sparta and Athens become solid allies to make a single Greek Empire, or as close to it as possible (as cooperative as the city-states got during the Persian Wars), without ASBs. Then, what would happen next? With the Spartan army and the...

Question is same as thread title. Just wondering, thinking about possible timeline, but first seeing if what I was thinking is any possible.

The question is, what if Massinissa (Numidian Prince during the 2nd Punic War), decided not to join Rome during the 2nd Punic War. His rival for the open throne, Syphax, was convinced to join Carthage afterwards, and was a neutral party in that war up to the time. Massinissa decides to join Rome...

What if the world's continents had never split apart? I know they would due to the tectonic plates and all; please don't bring that up. I just want to know how civilization would develop in a Pangaea world.

How the Axis could’ve won WWII Please help me on my first timeline. I realize the subject has been overdone, but I think this is a good idea, that I think hasn’t been used before. I have gotten the Axis to win WWII; however, I would like to get the timeline to go further. Please throw out ideas...

Who do you think is the Greatest commander in History? Not really Alternate history, but an interesting topic to me. My personal list would be: 1. Alexander the Great 2. Genghis Khan 3. Khalid ibn al-Walid 4. Julius Caesar 5. Napoleon

At church today, my priest mentioned Paul, and that got me thinking, that what if there was no Paul, or if Paul remained Saul. Would Christianity eventually have spread to the Gentiles, or would Christians focus on just converting Jews? Would Arabs rule the world, without Christendom to stop...

Everyone always talks about alternate histories with the Nazis winning WWII. But what if the Germans won WWI? Would Fascists come to power in Britain and France? What would happen in Russia? America? Or would America even join at all? How would it affect a WWII, and today's modern world? Discuss.
