  1. Now is the Winter of Our Discontent

    Warwick is still with his Uncle as he's living at the moment so hasn't passed to him, Gloucester I was debating as obviously Isabel (Richard's ITTL surviving daughter) was female and as far as I know there was an issue with women inheriting Dukedoms and they would pass to the crown but not with...
  2. Richard of Gloucester marries Mary of Burgundy

    It's not ASB as much It's (usually) wish fulfillment. For people we know much about, like Louis XI, making him an idiot doesn't require divine intervention but it's not probable either. And filling the gaps is allowed for people we don't have much info about.
  3. Neoteros

    Alternate football (Soccer) documentaries

    So, the Totonero scandal hits even harder than it did IOTL, nice. :P Since you stated that this would be the beginning of a golden age, here's hoping the people in charge do a more competent job at cleaning house than they did IOTL after Calciopoli, that basically sent the league into a decline...
  4. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    I know it's easy to forget sometimes given the complete hash the Soviets made of the Winter War but Finland didn't actually defeat the Soviets, rather the Soviet result (I hesitate to use the term victory) was very much less than they wanted and certainly not worth the cost in resources, men and...
  5. Sun Yat Sen Lives: effects on China and WWII

    I've said this before and I will say it again. His reputation is wildly exaggerated. All ten of his uprisings were failures, he had been kicked out of Japan, Indochina and Singapore by 1911 and also by that year, he was almost broke. The Xinhai Revolution happened and he took advantage of it...
  6. The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    So there is an independent Florida in TTL 2021, I assume majority of the population will be Latino? Also I have some questions to ask regarding modern day North America, though you probably won't answer directly: 1. Are we gonna see countries in Cascadia/ great plains/ Rocky Mountain region...

    The Children of Camelot

    Oh don’t worry I won’t. I always just assumed it was an honorific and not anything major. Besides since Henry VII is Arthur’s guardian he’s the one getting the revenue.
  8. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    I think it's important to compare early Christianity with Buddhism for a comparison, here. Both Buddhism and early Christianity expanded through syncretism with local polytheisms. See e.g. Brigid the Irish deity transitioning to Saint Brigid, or the Christian adoption of European polytheistic...

    The Children of Camelot

    Just don't go crazy with it. The title is intended to provide an income for the heir apparent not anything else.
  10. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    It would probably take centuries before the population starts recovering. It's not just gunpowder, it's the trade with the Chinese that will create winners and losers among the various peoples of North America and cause conflicts and all manner of other chaos while giving them access to tools...

    The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    it's mainly because the 1930s population boom in florida doesn't happen ittl.
  12. AHQ: Best strategy for Persians at Thermopylae

    I think it wasn't all overconfidence-if going around was that easy the Persians wouldn't have engaged at Thermopylae. I suspect the logistics of supporting such a large army at that time must have been a nightmare. At least hugging the coast would allow resupply by ships. A land maneuver would...

    Richard of Gloucester marries Mary of Burgundy

    Oh yes of course! What I meant was that they seem to be talking about overwriting people’s personalities who were born before the POD.
  14. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    That is why opposite (Muscovy consumed Lithuania early or ATL Orthodox Lithuania unites Russia) is better option. Even better is Golden Horde converting to Christianity and merging with Rus'. That would allow earlier Russian expansion to Siberia. If agricultural settlement is estabilished in...

    Pop Culture Oneshot Scenarios

    ...508 - December 24th, 1971 - Lockheed L-188A) Taxiway Turmoil (Northwest Airlines Flights 1482 and 299 - December 3rd, 1990 - Douglas DC-9 and Boeing 727) * (SPECIAL) means the episode is a special one with length equivalent that of Crash of the Century OTL, covering the disaster full in depth.
  16. Richard of Gloucester marries Mary of Burgundy

    No, I've seen people overwriting personalities of ppl born after the POD many times on that site.
  17. WI: Athens win the Peloponnesian war?

    The Athenian leadership simply does not f... up and capturesres Sicily,, cutting Sparta from food supplies while adding a rich and populous province. The war is much shorter and Athens wins decisively. What would effects of this be? Obviously since southern Greece is not exhausted from war...
  18. Now is the Winter of Our Discontent

    What is that, Earl of Rutland, Warwick and Gloucester?
  19. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    Yeah I was typing too fast. I should've said "Scandinavian pride" instead. Anyways, interesting to know.
