    DBWI: Caesar does not conquer Parthia

    What value does Gallia give Rome? All it does is give it a massive border to defend, the only bits worth conquering were in the south. Parthia brought Rome great wealth and later, Zoroastrianism.
  2. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    I very much doubt a national HSR network is economical in the US in the Jet Age, but could see more regional network of rail lines surviving and thriving if managed properly. The big issue is that cars are ubiquitous, fast, and cheap to drive, so you'd need to do something about that. Perhaps in...
  3. In a freak coincidence, both Stalin and Hitler die during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

    Regarding Göring, the economic policies the Nazis implemented in the occupied Soviet territories were heavily shaped by him and the people under him. Göring's 'Green Folder' contained the directives for the economic exploitation of Soviet territory, including the Hunger Plan. Said Hunger Plan...
  4. WI: Alexander the Great lives to 75?

    I think the idea was that the mixtures would continue. A Greco-Persian might marry an Egyptian, or an Indian. If Arabia is conquered expect Greek and Persian brides and grooms to be provided to the children of tribal leaders there. Again, we can't be sure since there was not time for it, but I...
  5. Horus Triumphant - an Alternate Antiquity timeline

    Thanks, I just wondered if the fall of Egypt was too much of a surprise. Next update will probably be sometime next week.

    How many of those brands produced multiple models too? Not that the British stable was that much better IIRC. Sure they had fewer companies (and thus, fewer individual models) producing, but still far more than was truly practical.
  7. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    A lot of goods pass over the plains on the interstate highways, and most roads are state owned and built. Cheaper goods transport benefits everyone as they pay less for goods. Passenger trains benefit no one but the handful of riders that use them. Most roads in Kansas are built by the Kansas...
  8. Make Afghanistan Prosperous

    Zahir Shah for any flaw had kept the peace. That is key in this proposal, keep the country in peace. A Soviet invaded Afghanistan is unsalvagable for a number of reasons. Keep the Pashtun hegemony for a while, as much as i hate to say it. Pashtun tribes dont like it whenever attempts are done...

    What have you done? And what are you about to do to Asia?
  10. In a freak coincidence, both Stalin and Hitler die during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

    ...working Jews to death for the benefit of the Reich and might be slightly less thorough on the margins, the Jews of Greece for example might survive* but under him the Jews of Poland and Eastern Europe would first be concentrated into ghettos and then those would be emptied and their...
  11. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Why would he think that? Is the Spanish military intelligence organisation butterflied away in this TL as well? What about the Royal Navy? Depths of morale as in large reserves? Who are these unnamed Conservative leadership figures? Halifax? One man and a busted flush. Who else? I think you’re...
  12. WI: Alexander the Great lives to 75?

    I am not sure how mixed children turn out. If they are mixed, they will raised in both Greek and Persian cultures. They likely will not feel more affinity to either. If they also marry Persians then their children will be even more Persian. Whatifalthist expressed an opinion that Alexander...
  13. How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    The poor don't usually do right-wing revolts; generally they just support self-coups done by elite interests and/or the military. Adding a bit: When the CSA formed, Texas had around 7% of its population. That share grew to 9% in 1870, 12% in 1880, when it went from 6th most populous ex-CSA...

    Are there any good Alternate History Games on Steam?

    there's a new civil war game out called Grand Tactician that combines some of the battlefield action of Ultimate General Civil War w/ the bigger map/econ strategy of games like Vicky II.

    Thanks, fixed it.
  16. Catalina, the Black Widow

    Ooh, I love how interesting the lives of Manuel's daughters are... No doubt they will be known as a second illustrious generation! Excellent update!
  17. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    There was a story on Warships1 where Goeben's shelling of Phillipville hit a British merchnat ship, this gave Churchil the excuse to order the RN to go after her earlier.

  19. WI: Potty training your kid as early as possible becomes popular?

    Do you think the first bathroom had a chemical smell, like an annoying deodorizer? I ask because I’m probably mid-level spectrum myself. Although at age 58, no, of course I haven’t been diagnosed. If society emphasized as early as possible toilet training . . . It would make kiddos more...

    In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    To the best of my knowledge, the Saxons of continental northwest Germany were pagan until their conquest by Charlemagne, and the Slavic tribes occupying what is today eastern Germany (for instance, the Obotrites) were pagan until well into the High Middle Ages.
