  1. A Shift in Priorities

    You just reminded me of the movie Lord of War, I think that will be my name for Bauer now. Plus the EVEG have leverage/liability with their own private military now, I think Bauer see West Africa as just a power base, whereas the Turks are nationalists and more confined in what they're willing...
  2. More Tiger Economies

    Well one thing (And by far the most important) that all those tigers had that the first-world for some reason seems reluctant to adopt is a massive national education plan with long-term objectives (whereas here it seems like something politicians pay lip service to, teachers and students aren't...
  3. Stock Marke Reaction to a Sino-American War

    Oh no, that was just referring to another post in another thread, like I said not entirely relevant but the idea's there.
  4. Stock Marke Reaction to a Sino-American War

    Huh, it seems to me that people are going for the destroying Chinese government completely (and sometimes industry&aspects of modern society, or in the case of the Gorges Dam genocide) route instead of the least damage route. So I like to ask, is this war for America's/China's/world's best...
  5. A Shift in Priorities

    I don't know, maybe we could post small details, such as a post on the artistic taste of southern Germany compared to northern Germany. You know something that shouldn't affect world politics but would add flavor to the time line. I was thinking someone stumbling onto radiation and not knowing...
  6. If Japan's economic bubble had never burst...

    Not possible, there's simply the physical fact that an average Japanese person cannot possibly be twice a effective as an average American given the same tools. Japan will hit the limits of an economy for the size of its population and demographics, but its consumer confidence will's reponse...
  7. Make your ideal AH-game

    Yes, and for an expansion pack they can bring in the age of divinity where the Colossus of Rhodes tears itself from its bolting and joins the fray... against the invading Poseidon of Crete.:D Sailors vs The Sea.
  8. Make your ideal AH-game

    I personally would prefer a Rome Total War with more logistics, more realpolitiks, and more details in general. It is one of my personal favorites. Logistically I would like to make the seasons longer, and with the accompanying food problems . You know, get the feeling of real historic...
  9. Reagan impeached

    I'm not an expert on American presidents but would this get rid of the Reaganomics policies? Or the massive military build-ups? Neither of which helped the American economy and decayed the American government's ability to react to events in the future.
  10. China successfully pockets Eighth Army 1950

    A little nit-pick, the economic boom wasn't a result of the lower military spending, it was a result of positive expectations and large amounts of available capital resources.
  11. China successfully pockets Eighth Army 1950

    Read up on your history, especially the treatment of Montagnard natives and Buddhist in south vietnam and the explusion of the Chinese in north vietnam . I'm not using blanket expressions , just proper classification. And why yes I did mean Klepto thank you for pointing that out. First of...
  12. China successfully pockets Eighth Army 1950

    Yes, yes domino theory. You take completely different social and geopolitical situations and group them together just by insisting that they border communist nations as the sole reason for them all to turn communist or to fall to them. The PLA did not have the naval capabilities to take...
  13. Make your ideal AH-game

    Post what your ideal AH-game(s) would be like, real or just waiting to be made (or or ideal game, it doesn't need to be AH). Be creative, and be detailed in your description Just some pointers: What features would you like for it? What do you want it to look like? Is it the cool sheen of a...
  14. China successfully pockets Eighth Army 1950

    Well I think the thread is asking about the implications of such a event occuring, not the possibility as long as it is possible.
  15. WI: No K-T extinction

    I am aware of the extreme disadvatages of my octpusses on land, but I'm convinced that intelligence if given a start can eventually work past that. The only reason I have them on land is for fire, they don't have to live on land , just use the fire that requires air. I know that all my ideas...
  16. WI: No K-T extinction

    Yes but not ones with a civilization, and it doesn't have to be a mass extinction. I just need a reserve for them setup in, the extinction can be local, or it could just be an area that doesn't favour/sustain particular predators, I just need a relative well sized area cleared for a small period...
  17. WI: No K-T extinction

    That's why I suggested some mild evironment devoid of too many predators. Just like how homosapins originated from a dangerously small genetic stack of a couple thousand or so, probably due to some catastrophic event that drove them to near extinction to facilitate a clean slate where they would...
  18. WI: No K-T extinction

    I like to point out that certain OTL octopusses' intelligence are on par with dophins and chimps, some species are already hunting in packs, and are capable of limited amphibious breathing and mobility (but quite frankly how little we know about the deep is sad). 65 million year can do that...
  19. WI: No K-T extinction

    Well going back to the discussion of alternative intelligent lifeforms, I'd like to contribute a few things. An intelligent lifeform's Unlikely to be a flier, simple mechanical limitations of a large head and aerodynamics. Unlikely to be fully-aquatic mainly due to oxygen and fire...
  20. Venetian Survival

    Venice doesn't need to possess the area, the area just need an way to accept Venetian ducrats and some way to bring the wood to Venice. Maybe something like a playhouse/resort for the aristocrats of Europe, something to leave a good impression upon the next generation of ruling elites. Venice...
