Shut it, noob. I have been Dirk_Pitt since before you were a gleam on Ian's computer screen!

Ah finally got mah new laptop(the keyboard is sexy, BTW), so now I've gotta reinstall steam and my games. All is, so far, right with the world.

Well, it was developed on the developers' spare time so no development time was waste on it. It's a fun little bonus.

When the Aztecs invade all I can think is... "GOD DAMN IT, HARUHI!"

France in this point was having trouble with Mexico. Why would they go into California? Your scenario makes very little sense.

He was, graduate of West Point mind, but apparently he was of poor quality.

On a 1943 D-Day, I actually started a thread about this very subject a while back and the general consensus was that it was perfectly feasible and the only thing that stopped it was perception of German strength and British fear of returning to France too soon. One of the points was that the...

Avoid Spain and Russia and you've got a shot, not a perfect one, but a shot. The Napoleonic wars would last a while though, until the British public get tired of the never ending war. Or go the Code Geass Route and have Napoleon invade Britain:eek:!

You couldn't do it very well with the Current status quo(you could, but it wouldn't be a very good analogy though). Maybe a semi-limited nuclear war that leads to a "Mad Max" scenario?

This is easy* Get a Stuart popular with the French people, said Stuart leads a revolt against an unpopular French King, that Stuart becomes King of France with a claim on the Kingdom of England. Done! *'Bout as easy as using the Empire State Building as a butt plug, though...

Not really. The US would still have the industrial power house of the North, the vast agricultural lands of the Midwest-Great Plains region to attract immigrants, and the huge mineral wealth the far west to feed the factories and financial sectors in the east. They'd also have vast potential for...

So THIS is what a Godwin'd Derailed Thread looks like... Rather depressing.:( But back on topic, I 'gree with idea that Cromwell stood little chance of creating a long living dynasty. But I guess it could have happened. Weirder things have happened.

I'll be honest and say I did a poor job of explaining him in the OP. He ultimately said that before the 15th century that there were no kings or queens and that the ONLY authority in Europe was the Pope. And on Oral History versus Written History, it was mostly the implication, his tone and...

That is due to the much more ridged command structure in Starfleet by this time and the adherence to the holy writ of the "Prime Directive". Not saying you're necessarily wrong though. The Prime Directive is a pretty stupid trope.

To him the Kingdoms of England and France didn't come into existence until the 15th century. And there wasn't a mercantile class until the 16th century. And of course progress is bad and having no written history is good.:confused::mad: I had to place my fist in my mouth to prevent myself from...

Very much this.

If the Romans have a better Post-1261 I could see them doing better in the Balkans. Not as good as OTL Ottomans, but better.

Brenin Uthur I Pendragon of Prydain Magna, Prydain Parvus, Alba, Iwerddon, and Asturias, has been crowned Emperor Uthur I Pendragon of Prydain Imperium Brenin of Prydain Magna, Lord of Prydain Parvus, Alba, Iwerddon, and Asturias. In other news, my wife, Breniness of Asturias, is a...

I'm guessing, based on the title, that you have the two come back together at some point? Interesting book. If I get myself into some money I might just buy this.

So somehow the Russians are able to fight on for one more year(hell it's even possible that with the Russians still fighting, and presumably doing better against the Germans, the war might end a bit sooner than OTL). What does the Post-War world look like? I doubt there will be a Poland...
