  1. Crown Imperial: An Alt British Monarchy

    Uh Oh. Our Vic's going the same way as George IV's first wife isn't she. Uh Oh.

  2. Crown Imperial: An Alt British Monarchy

    Alaska would make a lovely christening gift imho.

  3. Crown Imperial: An Alt British Monarchy

    Always looking forward to new updates. Always happy to wait. Take your time kingy.

  4. Crown Imperial: An Alt British Monarchy

    Continuing your commitment to fantastic updates Opo, thanks so much. I have to be honest, I've surprised myself realising how much I enjoy reading about the jewellery. Garrard's is probably the character I most look forward to turning up. Big big fan. Carry on forever, please.

  5. Crown Imperial: An Alt British Monarchy

    Just dropping in to say that over the last few weeks i've been reading my way through this timeline, and I have absolutely loved it, though I'm now in that awful position of having to wait for updates rather than binging at one's leisure. I think it's really a incredible bit of work how you've...

  6. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Alas that Attar was butterflied ittl and we'll never know an Andalusi version of his Conference of Birds.

  7. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    I dunno, as you enter some kind of quasi renaissance in this timeline you may well be seeing a historiography of imperial legitimacy emerging between the main powers. The East will claim theirs from holding the City, the West, both Christian and Muslim, will claim their from ruling sovreign...

  8. AHC: A Hellenistic philosophy becomes a sort-of religion in medieval Europe

    With a lot of twisty jiggery pokery, you could probably get something going like a Neoplatonic Cult of Hypatia (the Martyr) in the Greek diaspora ports of the late classical/early middle ages around the Eastern Mediterranean. You could potentially see these people becoming a Mercantile class...

  9. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Not to be a Debbie Downer, a Roland Wrong-flag, a Vexatia Vexillologist, but St. George is unlikely to develop a cult in Angland in this TL sans The Cruades, so St. Alban, or maybe Cuthbert, are most likely to become the National Saint, if the concept exists. As such, the likely flag on this...

  10. WIP Map Thread

    I am planning an ASB TL, where an inexperienced apprentice inter-dimensional being gets it's remit wrong, kidnaps the UN General Assembly, and forces them to redraw their borders on the proviso that they can not reclaim former de jure or de facto territory. It is mental. These are the first 12...

  11. WI - An African country creates an analogue to Mount Rushmore

    One could possibly imagine Gaddafi in one of his most Pan-African moods commissioning something in the hills south of Tripoli. If I'm picking four, I would guess he would go for Himself, Mandela, Haile Selassie, and probably Mugabe, knowing Gaddafi. But this isn't really ASB, is it, just a bit...

  12. Why wasn't the earth apple a more successful crop?

    You can buy them from some good greengrocers in the UK, where they're grown as a garden plant and treated as - and commonly called - the perennial sunflower. I love them, I think they are delicious. But I do commend Gerrard on his accuracy. Seriously. Comparing them to legumes or brassicas is...

  13. Henry V Greatest English King?

    I think I would only agree with you on the Edwards, and perhaps Elizabeth I as being superior to H5 - the others you mentioned were particularly nasty pieces of work that the Kingdom could probably have been better without. Especially the Bastard. My personal choice would be Aethelstan, who...

  14. AHC: Most Distant Possible War in Ancient Times

    So what you really need is for the Harrappans to sail to Egypt, hire a local fleet and sail on again to conquer Tartessos, in order to take over the western market of metals and thus prevent the Indus Valley collapse. :D

  15. DBWI: Can Britain remain a superpower?

    Minnesota stronk. However, without profound constitutional reforms, representation and equality of the colonies - particularly in Africa - and perhaps even a confederal arrangement with the former Dominions of Canada, Australia and New Zealand, it seems the vim and pluck that got us through the...

  16. Jewish state in Europe?

    Northern Ireland. Just for lolz.

  17. What if Pres. Reagan had been relaxed about lesbian and gay rights?

    No sex before gay marriage would certainly have been an interesting Republican slogan, as well as experiment in social engineering, while attempting to solve the AIDS crisis.

  18. The Lucky Country: Protect and Survive in Australia

    For the same reasons the metal railings and lamp posts were taken from the streets of Britain during WWII. We're their materials so essential to the war effort, no, but did they indicate that times had changed, yes. ITTL hundreds of thousands of civilians have just had their lives literally...

  19. The Lucky Country: Protect and Survive in Australia

    I've long had a soft spot for Tas and now I know it"s because of a latent paranoia and desire to survive the apocalypse. This is excellent stuff. Excellent excellent excellent.

  20. AHC: Make Australia technologically advance by 1500

    You need to first Aboriginal settlers to avoid slash and burn land management, and to domesticate the herbivorous megafauna, instead of predating them for meat. Also, Australia was not without native crop packages entirely, just without those early accidents that initiated the idea of...
