Okay, continuing on the "Kaiserreich Red Alert" idea: Iron Empire (Reichspakt, aka: Imperial Gemany and Subject States) The Iron Empire is the "Elite" faction. Most, if not all of their units are more expensive than their Syndicalist or Entente Counterparts, but in exchange much, much more...

I wonder how a Command and Conquer: Red Alert style game would work. Like, obviously there would probably be three factions from the start, rather than just two, namely the German Empire, Syndicalists, and the Entente, but how that would look in detail is a bit murkier. German Empire, though...

Maybe Chaos, instead of taking people's vices and turning them up to eleven, it instead takes a person and grinds them down until they serve nothing but the Collective that is Chaos, with each God, rather than representing emotions, just represent specific tasks or fields of expertise, and any...

Manga, and by extension Anime, came into being when the American Occupation Force, after WW2, brought comics along, a format the Japanese later adopted for their own folk stories and legends. If you have some way of bringing comics to China, the same might happen, especially since you can't...

If China more or less takes Japan's OTL place in the Kaiserreich Timeline, at least in terms of popular media, wouldn't that lead to a fetishization of Jian swords in pop culture, in the same manner as Katanas were? For those that don't know, Jian are considered the swords of cultivated...

Is that a reference to a movie from this timeline, or is it made up for Kaiserreich?

That depends on who wins the 2nd Civil War. If the Combined Syndicates of America win, then it would be an oppressive Monarchy or Oligarchy, that might even have Chattel Slavery ("Break the Chains" and all that). If the American Union State wins, then it would likely be a 1984-style nightmare...

I wonder how the Mecha Sci-Fi Genre would evolve, considering that much of it was heavily inspired by Heinlein's work. I mean, someone will come up with the idea of fantastical, humanoid or bestial machines, controlled by a human pilot, eventually, but Heinlein basically laid the foundations of...

Thing is, Beowulf either knew or genuinely believed he could take Grendel with his bare hands (he was a huge braggart and had a very high opinion of himself, while also being a bit of a larger-than-life figure with a reputation of slaying monsters). A Norse person with a more "grounded" mindset...

Seeing a death in combat as honorable, and getting just brutally murdered with no way of actually fighting back, are two wholly different things. Especially if the death is long, drawn-out, and extremely painful. And even the Norse weren't so crazy as to charge some superhuman monstrosity while...

Which would also add a good deal of Mystery to the mix, especially if the victim/s don't know why a Draugr is after them.

Draugr are essentially the Dead coming back to life to enact revenge or to finish what was left undone. Norse Horror featuring Draugr, or a Draugr-like creature, would likely be less Zombies, and more sonething along the lines of Terminator or Jason Vorhees. A malicious, unstoppable, and...

How much would change for the Native Americans, if the tribes living in and close around the 13 Colonies, as well as those that already had some trade or diplomatic ties with the Colonies, had offered their aid to the americans in the War of Independence? Fighting the british in asymetric...
