  1. Horus Triumphant - an Alternate Antiquity timeline

    Thanks for the compliment! No dynasty lasts forever, but the 30th dynasty has been quite succesful all things considered. Thanks! Always great to hear people are enjoying the TL.
  2. Map Thread XX

    Given the shit people like Stalin and Mao got away with, I've always felt that an anti-Chikalito revolt required not just someone finding him indulging in post-murder necrophilia, but the right person finding him.
  3. Byzantines reconquer southern Italy and Rome by 1100, how does Christendom develop from there?

    Yes, and each lord and each of his vassals had their own castles, which made dislodging them very hard. You can wreck that lord's army on the field, but it is far from over.
  4. the best movies never made

    Rumour has it that Clarence was chatting up a Miss Granger at the time and was a couple of minutes too late to save him.
  5. Byzantines reconquer southern Italy and Rome by 1100, how does Christendom develop from there?

    Read page 10. And back then they were also able to recruit large numbers of green civilians and train them into professional soldiers within months. Warfare has changed a lot since the advent of cavalry.Soldiers took much longer to train than in the days of the Republic. We would have to agree...

    Economic effects of less Spanish colonization of the Americas?

    This can be made easy (and the effects more interesting) if there is a strong state in Morocco to threaten the Spanish. One of the main problems after the Reconquista was that they now had tens of thousands of idle men who only knew how to fight and many of whom had rather large debts to...
  7. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Looking back, I see that I described the setting sun on the evening of August 20, 1914, in the Chapter entitled Green Flash, posted on March 30, 2020. That is 24 hours ago in story time, and almost a year and 100k words of writing time.
  8. How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    For me, I disagree. IOTL, the Gilded Age was driven by northern industrialists, and their main market was also the North. US industrialization was driven by its huge internal market, and we all know the North accounted for the vast majority of the US population, industries and cities even before...
  9. AHC: Have Hawaii dump the Union Jack

    I would think the easiest way would be that soon after Hawaii's illegal annexation the US simply imposes a new flag on their new colony, perhaps during the patriotic boost after the Spanish American war.

    No G harder then Kenny G

    So Death Row Records earns some mainstream appeal by getting Kenny G of all people. Now that's a POD I'd never have imagined.
  12. AHC: Have Hawaii dump the Union Jack

    This would require a POD WAY before the 1990s. You can get either independent Hawaii (although it would have to come out a wave of decolonization rather than remain independent or a fascist Britain with a post 1900 POD, even if neither is likely, but doing either one with a POD in the 1990s is...
  13. How realistic of an option was France joining the commonwealth?

    I was thinking that France joining might lead to an effort to create some sort of economic integration for the commonwealth. Back in 1956 I believe most of British trade was with the commonwealth and adding France to that would make it more likely that they try to push towards a more involved...
  14. Rise of Ultralight helicopters

    Someone watched one too many Bond films.
  15. Economic effects of less Spanish colonization of the Americas?

    It realy depends on if Spain still goes to war now it has less money or if it does not.
  16. How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    I'm betting they'd try and keep it until they collapse due to war, revolution or dissolution. They'll just try and industrialise with slave labour, with mixed success.
  17. Wilson dies of a stroke in 1918 President Marshall allows Italy the Treaty of London Territories

    Yugslavia might not be so happy when it has not so much of coastline.
  18. Rise of Ultralight helicopters

    according to Hillar's museum it was supposed to carry 8 rockets a MG and 2 wingtip missiles !
  19. Golden Age comics PODs

    ...not be amenable to broader inclusion. Unless you can sell Marvel's writing staff more generally on something like the Registration Act concept, or *Civil War as more than a miniseries or sales gimmick. (You'd also need to do it before the book goes into reprints, & probably before its sales...

    Rise of Ultralight helicopters

    Are those engine nozzles on the ends of those rotor blades? Yes, yes those are! Good God that thing would be loud!
