  1. African countries grow sugarcane to sell to Europe

    I suppose the key question is - why is it that these places on the map are where the sugarcane is grown"
  2. U.S. has more successful nuclear power with waste stored on site, and therefore no transport and reduced NIMBY.

    Yes, that’s a major challenge wth nuclear power. What I’m saying is let’s make a smart decision for the next 50 years, make sure we honestly communicate with the people who will be alive then and entering the bulk of their working lives. And count on them carrying it the next 50 years, and so...
  3. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I'm not sure two tractors and three rusty tin sheds really hits the level of "a monstrous waste" of resources. Then again, this is NZ we're talking about, and the only resource it has in abundance is sheep... :openedeyewink:
  4. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Nice update, but it's Le Grand Chemin, as chemin is masculine.
  5. WI: Philip II dies in 1199 and Richard I lives until 1215?

    They were bros before foes, except for the times when they were foes before bros. So really, it just depended on whether John was being extra weasely or not.
  6. What party would Knox & Wayne end up in?

    My best guess(with a capital “G” for I readily admit I don’t know that much about Knox) is that @ first he’d be a moderate Federalist(which means he might actually agree with Jefferson & Co. on a few points) but by 1800 be a STRONG Federalist(which means increasingly reactionary &...

    WIP Map Thread

    I really like the work you have just produced. The colours are well used, and the different administrative and political boundaries are well done. Your map is supposed to be the cover for what? Do you have a link back to "Armada-2"?
  8. Rome vs Unified Eastern Mediterranean

    A unified Hellenistic state would also need to fully harness the potential economic power of Egypt to keep paying it's large armies and maintain it's massive navy.
  9. The 30 mm HE shell. The ideal weapon for use by WW2 Allied fighter planes?

    Well it'll work well in both .50 and 20mm, so take your pick really.
  10. the best movies never made

    Pixels (2015) - A Guillermo Del Toro comedy about alien invaders who mistake tapes of 1980s video game competitions sent into space as a declaration of war. The world turns to an unlikely hero, Ron Jackson (played by James Rofle, otherwise known as The Angry Video Game Nerd), a former 80s gamer...
  11. Other Portugals: What countries could have remained apart from Spain?

    Visigothic Spain has the reputation of being a rather fractious kingdom, with no Moorish crossing it could very well end up falling apart into its various 'stem duchies'. Galicia was very much a defined entity from Roman times onwards, so too were Lusitania and Baetica, the Tarraconensis as...
  12. A Shift in Priorities - Sequel

    The past resembles the future more than one drop of water resembles another. (Ibn Khaldun) The capital had two faces, thought Nurzhan Sarsekbay. There were, on the one hand, the splendid government district and the sumptuous residential areas of the upper classes – and, on the other hand, the...

    well that's what would most likely happen today if Belgium breaks
  14. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    It would certainly help not to have to start from scratch. Start up costs tend to be really high.
  15. U.S. has more successful nuclear power with waste stored on site, and therefore no transport and reduced NIMBY.

    Reprocessing of nuclear fuel was a very 1960s idea when there was a concern that usable Uranium was running out. With the deposits found in the 1970s, the idea of fast breeder reactors was already dying out before Three Mile Island / Chernobyl. As an example the Prototype Fast Reactor (PFR) at...

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

    One of the early nuke plants in my area was built in the 1960's on the same site as a coal-fired plant (easier tie-in to the existing grid). The hook with siting and storage there is the plant is literally on the banks of the flood-prone Mississippi. The coal plant was there because the bulk...
  17. The 30 mm HE shell. The ideal weapon for use by WW2 Allied fighter planes?

    For 20mm cannon, or for some other gun?
  18. AHC: reverse the fates of Eastern and Western Europe

    There is no reason why Scythians would settle down, it seems more straightforward that the populations north of the Scythians(erronouelsy called Scythian farmers by Greeks) which likely were some kind of Balto-Slavic population could invent or adopt the heavy plough from somewhere else(given the...

  20. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Which is never a good thing. Such a person is much more likely to bring down the house attempting to succeed rather than backing down and retiring from the field gracefully (assuming such an option even exists).
