  1. COMMAND & CONQUER QUESTIONS

    I'm writing a tl that's taking me about 500 years on red alert actually. I don't have Einstein teleporting Hitler but yeah I reckon so. RE GDI ranks why you applying pay grades? For a story or?
  2. Map Thread XXII

    To be fair to KR it's a hangover from when the mod used to be on older versions of HOI and there were limits on the number of nations you could mod in. Gameplay wise in HOI4 you may as well fuse them because NZ and Australia aren't super fun or impactful to play in vanilla. Australia usually...
  3. Hitler's relatives in Nazi Victory

    Hitler enforced this sort of bureaucratic Darwinism, where his underlings were pitted against each other while he held this untouchable mythical status. I believe the idea is that the cream of the crop will rise up as they wean each other out while they curried for favor from the big boss...
  4. Zimmerman denies the telegram

    Yeah you're not wrong, USW wasn't for no reason
  5. Hitler's relatives in Nazi Victory

    As said above, they'd probably be in various states of wealthy entitlement and protection. Maybe a few relatives get elevated to cushy positions using their family name. Some will abuse, some will use it, some might be disgusted by it. RE kids, my understanding also that he wasn't particularly...
  6. Zimmerman denies the telegram

    That's not how quite it went down though. The reality is a bit more nuanced. Ironically, the Germans used the American embassy in Denmark and from there an American telegraph line and company to transmit the coded telegram to Mexico. Berlin had been doing this for a while, as they thought the...
  7. Bush,Congress,Cabinet killed in 9/11

    From taxes, no. The only other constant in life aside from death. :p
  8. WI: North Korea caused 9/11?

    "ERYBODY OUT TO GET AMERICA, THE RUSSIANS, THE KOREANS, THE CHINA, THE NAZIS, THE HEZBOLLAH. UNITED IN ONE THING! THEY ARE TOTALLY JEALOUS AND HATE OUR FREEDOM." Seriously though North Korea is a hermit state led by pretty awful people, but the simple fact is their rhetoric, pursuit of nuclear...
  9. Map Thread XXII

    Admittedly though, I managed to get a pre-screening of the film and its... Kinda silly by the end?
  10. WI: 'Dune' (1984) is released in it's full four hour original, effects on franchise?

    Honestly it should have left more of the book out. I like david lynch but Dune is just incoherent as a film. Making it 4 hours is just going to make its disjointed narrative even more obnoxious.
  11. Axis joined-up thinking?

    To answer your question, no they couldn't work to a common goal. Neither was planning for a long drawn out war, it just kinda happened. The Allies meanwhile after a point knew that they were going to be in it for the long haul and planned accordingly. In the case of Germany and Japan, you had a...
  12. Osama bin Laden is captured or killed at the Battle of Tora Bora

    The objective was to also dismantle the Taliban to deny al Qaeda places to hide. Killing Bin Laden would have been a significant blow to al-Qaeda, but the US were still looking to dismantle the Taliban and leave behind a government that could resist the return of the Taliban or any other...
  13. AHC: Make college rather than high school the popular setting for media within academic settings or focused on academic protagonists

    I think this is key, most people attend high school, not everyone goes to university or college. Id also argue the stories in both are fundamentally different, movies in school tend to be about navigating the social environment of puberty. Movies set at college and university tend to focus on...
  14. How big of a threat would a united Germania be to Rome?

    Yeah if you're writing a narrative you get to be in full control over a time span that long. Authors choice essentially
  15. How big of a threat would a united Germania be to Rome?

    If you have the Western Empire survive with its borders on the Rhine, for like.... Another 500 to 1500 years, who knows how strong or weak the Empire is. You're just completely making things up at that point, nothing about Europe is recognizable.
  16. The Other Countries in a Cuban-Missile War Victory

    I think there would be a bit of a power vacuum for a while. The other thing to consider is that a lot of the US's nuclear arsenal would have been expended or destroyed. I imagine that there would be little political desire to see money being spent on expanding the arsenal, especially since their...
  17. The Other Countries in a Cuban-Missile War Victory

    Too be honest, I imagine the US would be forced to turn inward for a bit. Even if two dozen cities are hit, we are likely talking major population centers, New York, Los Angelos, Chicago, Houston, Miami, San Antonio... That's tens of millions of people dead, millions more injured and suffering...
  18. White Repatriation as part of the Anti-Apartheid movement

    I feel like this would only work if South Africa exploded into a horrific race war that the white population was overrun somehow (not really sure how that would even happen considering they'd likely hold a military advantage, nuclear weapons and probably international sympathy despite Apartheid)...
