  1. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    Perhaps a later 20C development of POL resulting in the early 20C emerging car designers resorting to other methods of 'engine power' There was Electric and other methods of powering early cars - perhaps they become more popular by necessity Maybe a 'no Great War' scenario 'retards' the...
  2. The Forge of Weyland

    Great to see you back, especially with an update straight away. Looking forward to more.
  3. AHC: Replace the main cash crop of the CSA / Southern USA

    I don't see anything in that article that indicates the south could replace cotton with rice. If I had to guess, I'd assume that the US domestic market was the primary consumer of southern rice. That goes away with secession. There's a difference between a resource being merely economical and...
  4. Gary Seven-based Star Trek spinoff replaces TNG

    A timeline with Gary Seven meddling with past events could have been used for the TOS reboot.,
  5. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    If we’re going with a August 2nd or 3rd POD for Souchon, one that only begins to change British action on the 4th, there would only really be two battlecruisers in position to interfere with Goeben. It was Indefatigable and Indomitable that chased Goeben when it was headed back to Messina, but...
  6. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Uh except I did and it died instantly.
  7. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    It would be pretty crazy. Besides pushing the development of more efficient cars earlier and probably a lot of interest in "alternative" fuels and propulsion (as occurred IOTL in the 1970s and even to some extent in the 1960s), I see it as having three significant effects that are relevant to...

    An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    Who's the artist for this?

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Eh. I disagree. The problem with that argument is not that it takes into account economic incentives (which certainly played a part), but that it refuses to give medieval people the same benefit of the doubt that modern people are extended in the same breath. If you refuse to believe that there...
  10. AHC: Make Canada more heavily populated

    ...the population, easily. 2) the Church, instead of keeping habitants tied down to their existing towns and parishes, spearheads the settlement of *Ontario and *Michigan. 3) British conquest still happens 4) come the American Revolution (if it comes), and many Loyalists flee to Canada. 4a)...
  11. WI Napoleonic France one century earlier

    Also, the idea isn't really supposed to be a France wank, though this timeline will probably start out that way. After all, OTL 1700 France dominated Europe and had a strong and well led army. Though since Turenne was not around, it had no generals of Napoleon's caliber. However, presumably...
  12. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I know I shouldn't have laughed but I already know I am a bad person
  13. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    Perhaps the Naval A4's used retarded bombs. There appears to be at least one photo that indicates the navy had them.
  14. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    As someone who is Russian, is kinda done with gopnik Adidas squat tripaloski jokes, and enjoys BTS a bit, I feel conflicted about this. Besides, it's not like there weren't any attempts to cash in on kpop craze in Russia.

    U.S. has more successful nuclear power with waste stored on site, and therefore no transport and reduced NIMBY.

    ^ I don't support Yucca Mountain. I think you'd be much better off hauling it all to the Hanford Site and reprocessing it there. The place already handles nuclear reprocessing so there isnt much a NIMBY problem (if any) and its an easy place to secure. Ideally you'd develop a Generation-IV...
  16. WI: Władyslaw Jagielłło converts to Orthodoxy

    It 'd be cool if Poland adopted Church Slavonic. By ,late 1300s the languages were still reasonably vlose to be intercomprehensible @Jan Olbracht @alexmilman
  17. Rome vs Unified Eastern Mediterranean

    Sounds good👍. Tells me a lot which I've already learned about the Roman conquests of Greece and other places and brings some context to them
  18. AHC: Replace the main cash crop of the CSA / Southern USA

    According to wiki, rice was extremely profitable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_production_in_the_United_States#Early_history Ditto for naval stores. By the time of USA, much of the timber of Europe was already harvested. The only reason forestry wouldn't be just as profitable in the US...
  19. Gary Seven-based Star Trek spinoff replaces TNG

    You'd have to replace Teri Garr as Seven's secretary. Teri Garr reportedly had a very bad experience shooting Assignment Earth and still refuses to talk about Trek to this day. Lansing was also starting to decline health wise in the late 1980s so a Seven series would have to occur much earlier...
