  1. A Difference Of Fate: A Late Roman Timeline

    Thanks! Glad to hear your liking it. You are right there will be two Imperial matches, both Daughters will marry future Emperors! As for the uniting, all this really is doing is connecting the two dynasties together. As of right now I have no plans to unite the empire as one, but plans can...
  2. United Gothic Empire?

    What if the Visigoths and Ostrogoths United? TL;DR: Visigoths and Ostrogoths unite, Franks never unite, no Carolingians, France, though having a dominant state in the area, or HRE, no massive Mediterranean Byzantine Empire and a lot less Catholicism. Also Weatern Europe is even more of a...
  3. UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    How so? The F-4, and the A-7 were about the best aircraft that could be built, with the technology of the time. The USAF should've bought the A-6 Intruder, as a cheaper alternative to, or supplement to the F-111. Joint service aircraft are a good idea, when practical. For all the criticism of...
  4. Fringeworthy(aka Stargate before Stargate)

    The random alien weapon generator is fantastic. Once rolled up a machine gun that spewed grenades.
  5. Would black population growth be higher in an independent American South

    Dont usually rural populations keep higher birthrates then urban ones for a longer period? I mean the main population issue of rural demographics is young people leaving for the cities, not lack if births.
  6. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I thought so. After all, he did say that they were claiming the project to be a superhero movie, and given that TTL's Columbia is involved and it will release in 1989, it can't be anything but Bruce Wayne's decade-defining moment to shine.
  7. WI: no alphabet

    Of course. It's the same reason why Japanese stuck to Kanji despite having a perfectly serviceable native phonetic syllabary (well, two, and yes, there's prestige and tradition too). In your example, however, Hôpital and Hôtel are pronounced differently in French as well, so it's not just a...
  8. Would black population growth be higher in an independent American South

    Yeah. Doubt the north will let them in if there is a border in the middle.
  9. WI: Germany does not support Austria-Hungary in WWI?

    And waging war over Alsace Lorraine will cost France millions and ruin it as a great power. France didn't care. The nationalist education everyone underwent at the time ensured it. How could they do it when they're not in similar position of overwhelming power over Germany? Reason wasn't the...
  10. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    It's more likely Batman with Sam Raimi at the helm.

    WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    Well, her aircraft would be ashore, along with the Pilots, that was SOP So hurt/damaged/sunk, Enterprise gets the attention for recovery However, every bit of ordnance expended on her, is less on the rest of the fleet. Look how the IJN pilots got 'Buck Fever' on sighting USS Utah, was hardly...
  12. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    That is what Johnson and Nixon did 24/7 for 40 years,
  13. Lebanon joined the United Arab Republic?

    If that does happen, then Israel/Turkey/US panic. Though the issue is Nasser did try to disband parties not entirly out of a desire for power but because he saw them as colonial puppets meant to distract/sabotage the nation and thought the army was the true national party. So more a issue of a...

    A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    Rework the WWII legacy stuff as much as possible to keep the costs contained. Clean sheet is going to lead to fiascoes. Agreed. The US "could" and "should" have looked at this existent option (metrics), too, since it was planning to fight in Europe anyway. Anyway...
  15. WI: no alphabet

    With French (and other languages as well), preserving old spelling can help differentiate homophones from one another*. An example from English - the words Hospital, Hostel and Hotel all come the same Medieval Latin word hospitale, via French, from different periods. *Other languages and...
  16. Rebirth of an Empire "O Renascimento de um Império" v2.0

    There's also the fact that, unlike experimental sciences, social sciences are a bit more difficult to study, especially before robust enough statistics were developped.
  17. What-if SMG for late 1930s and on

    Looking at some videos at y-tube, the 9mm and .45 can pierce a 3/4 in thick wooden board at 200 yds when fired from pistol, and from 44o yds when fired from carbine. 9mm video .45 video Granted, making hits at these ranges with these weapons is a challenge for 99% of infantrymen, especially...
