  1. IRON SKY, NAZIS FROM SPAAAAACE!

    Limited budget? They had about 8 million and filmed in Germany and Australia. Compared to a Hollywood blockbuster that's small. Compared to how much you really need to make a kick ass movie that's sufficient.
  2. Map Thread VII

    Didn't make it, don't know context, but cool nonetheless.
  3. Photos from Alternate Worlds

    That was teh awesome. And I don't use "teh" lightly. But Mario communist? Nah. He collects money, stomps the proletariat and saves royalty.
  4. My History teacher is an Alternate-History denier

    So there's two possibilities: The universe is 100% deterministic. This predictable, however, see chaos theory as to how this could still give quite the headache. There are truly random variables, in which case we'll have to deal with reality in terms of probabilities.
  5. My History teacher is an Alternate-History denier

    I'd be very interested to read that.
  6. My History teacher is an Alternate-History denier

    Well, obviously you're right. Counter-factual history appears to be a recognized form of Historiography. "The purpose of this exercise is to ascertain the relative importance of the event, incident or person the counterfactual hypothesis is negating. For instance, to the counterfactual claim...
  7. My History teacher is an Alternate-History denier

    Well if history is 100% deterministic then she does have a point that history happened the way it did and couldn't have happened any other way. If there are random variables in the universe, like maybe quantum stuff then AH has a legitimate raison d'être.

    KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE! NUKE IT!
  9. Photos from Alternate Worlds

    :rolleyes: Of course they'd be naked. The EU isthe global epitome of personal freedom. Why wouldn't they be naked? Does not compute.
  10. Photos from Alternate Worlds

    Hey, that's actually not too bad. The problem with jingoistic movies is to have an enemy which doesn't offend anyone if they're shot to pieces (Red Dawn ignores this rule...). Hence why I think this genre has searched for their villains in either the past (fighting caricature nazi's or Brits)...
  11. Photos from Alternate Worlds

    :eek: That's bloody awesome. I think that the jingoistic epic (The Patriot, Transformers, Independence Day, ...) is truly one of the most misunderstood genres of movies. Shame I have no idea what kind of story an EU themed Hollywoodian blockbuster would have.
  12. Civilization V

    IMHO the Civ is very fun, but still just a history themed TBS game.
  13. So, I'm trying to simulate history

    I've been thinking(/vaguely designing) a history simulator (actually timeline generator) for a few years now and I swear it's driving me insane. I think I'm pretty far, but when I look at how you're struggling to make a dynasty creator I'm almost glad I don't have any sufficient programming...
  14. What would YOU like to see in an AH MMO?

    Basically the only reason why there would be a TL generator (if we go that way) is to generate worlds. The other option is a smaller number of pre-made environments. Players will influence their world, but the effects of this are a whole lot simpler and a lot more standard to the MMO genre. The...
  15. What would YOU like to see in an AH MMO?

    It's an immensely intriguing concept indeed. I've actually had this idea for years. Tho in my version the whole system is quite deterministic. There are some random variables, yes, but major trends are mostly going to happen no matter what a certain pivotal figure does IMHO.
  16. What would YOU like to see in an AH MMO?

    Practice makes perfect. Having a cheap tablet myself I guarantee you'll have a lot of fun with that tablet. Even if you can't draw. I can't draw either, but I still had shitloads of fun making this: Actual concept art I made for a browser based game which never made it beyond alpha (sigh)...
  17. What would YOU like to see in an AH MMO?

    I'm afraid this idea has been "occupied" by Hollywood. Besides, it's a bit too ASB. Yea, but the issue with this, is that not all TL's are equally technologically savvy. So in the end one world's technology is bound to outmatch another's. Just like it would in time travel. The CIV games are...
  18. What would YOU like to see in an AH MMO?

    I'm not sure I understand, still. It's not you, it's me. Must be slow on the uptake today. :rolleyes: BTW, I like how you said "doing anarchist things". So you're saying it's the same entire cities per world, but that they are "layered"?
