  1. AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    180 years should be long enough to be a fact of life. In that case the last time there was a change in the dynasty was before the common soldier's grandfather's, grandfather's birth. I think you're right though to point out the issues experienced in France, because the reality is that it...
  2. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Another studio logo for ITTL.
  3. An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Yes. I intended the “Cyprus” title/claim to Jerusalem (still they Savoy used the titles for both Cyprus and Jerusalem so was easy misunderstanding that)
  4. Challenge: Cistercian numerals replace Arabic numerals

    You could have multiple symbols back to back, each representing 4 digits. If you want to do a 5 digit number you put a symbol with the first digit in front of the symbol with the next four digits, like we do now. In effect, we're making a base 10,000 system with 10,000 different symbols per...
  5. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Good on you! I made an edit to give proper credit. And more boxes in this TL would be really cool! Glimpses of the US and Soviet Union would be nice, maybe a look at a Commonwealth under the boot of neo-Inkling thought or a wikibox about a Lovecraft/Hitler collaboration 🤔 Really whatever you...
  6. How would a presidency of Lyndon Larouche look like?

    For economics, he would institute highly protectionist economic policies, high tariffs and trade deals being rewritten to be highly rewritten in America's favor. Additionally his "reindustrialization" plan combined with the previously mentioned protectionism might be able to prevent the mass...
  7. WI: no Charles Martel

    He is either not born or born a girl No Martel = no Pepin and Charlemagne What if you then have several generations of average rulers, with possible further divisions? Having Charles Marten, Pepin and Charlemagne was like rolling three sixes in a row for Western Europe
  8. AHC: Best strategy for Carthage

    Carthage didn't even want to conquer land in Italy, Rome was just in their way. A descent plan they had was to let Hannibal distract Rome while official Carthaginian forces sized a real prize, Sardinia. The strategy was sound, but their commander at Decimomannu failed at the tactical level...
  9. Imperial Cult remains Rome's official Religion

    Interesting, I had thought though Cybele-ism though was a henotheistic religion that worshipped what is believed to be some half-forgotten Luwian God whose name escapes me.

    "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    I said that in the Univerity of Ulster when Arafat and Rabin shook hands in the rose garden. I said the DUP and Sinn Fein would do a deal in the next ten years. Paisley and Adams.I go that wrong, it was Paisley and McGuiness. I was told I did not know what I was talking about.
  11. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    Using .270 British for the Rifles and LMGs which would come in stripper clips of 10 rounds for magazine filling and a larger round - 30-06 or 7.62 NATO which would come in disintegrating metal belts of XX rounds would completely allay the issue of differentiating rifle and MG bullets as they...

  13. Imperial Cult remains Rome's official Religion

    European paganism is in inherently syncretic. AFAIK Isis was absorbed into the Roman pantheon, not separate from it. The cults existed prior to these deities being included as well - they weren't monotheistic, they tended to just uphold a specific god or goddess above the others. Mithras was...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    Another interesting thing I notice is that a lot of the French Far-Right/Fascists in the French State are split: The Original Fascists from the 1930s are all in Burgundy serving in the SS. I notice a lot of big Interwar French Fascists are Generals in Burgundy. A lot of the Post-War...
  15. WI: ATL Congress of Vienna partition of Poland

    Alexander's good intentions at Vienna indeed brought geopolitical cathastrophe to Poles in the long run.
  16. Feeble Constitution - A Red-and-Green Russia 1917 Timeline

    Britain has supplied Jewish forces in Palestine against the Hashemites, Just like they supplied Saudis, Sorani Kurds, Persian counter-government, Kuwaitis etc. So far, the Clayden White Paper has not yet become official government policy. Even if it would, Britain would have to weigh...

    The Children of Camelot

    Definitely, I have seen some people say Eleanor was meant to marry John, but Manuel found Eleanor so pretty he decided to marry her himself. With Maria alive he can't do that.

    "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    They are carrying the Union flag. If they were UDI supporters they would be carrying the Ulster flag with the red hand. Rhodesia is about the only place I think that will take them.

    Maria not dying at 34 would probably also help..

    Threadmarks: Quarter-Finals (second leg) 20-21

    The first Quarter-final leg was certainly the most prolific. With no team getting any advantages, Brazil thought they had it when Neymar scored a penalty an hour in, but Gavranovic brought it back to make it 1-1, setting things to go to extra time. The extra time saw more goals scored than the...
