  1. Hadrian's Consolidation - reboot

    Don't they already sort of have one? Thought I remember there being an update where they were re-dredging the Canal of the Pharaohs, which did the same job but just connected the Nile to the Red Sea instead of the Mediterranean.

  2. Hadrian's Consolidation - reboot

    Well, the tax hiding at least has been addressed, since I remember a few chapters where accounting was used to find various types of fraud and tax evasion.

  3. Hadrian's Consolidation - reboot

    Well apparently research disagrees with you: https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/237229-overview Also apparently two related diseases to smallpox, cowpox and camelpox, can spread through rodents, so perhaps this ancient ancestor of smallpox would still be able to do the same.

  4. Hadrian's Consolidation - reboot

    Apparently the working theory is that smallpox evolved from a rodent virus during the stone age, so maybe it could spread from them.

    What I meant was the first quote said his new wife had given him a son, meaning the King's sister, so what happened to that son?

  6. Hadrian's Consolidation - reboot

    I'm not sure if it's too late to be pointing this out, but what happened here? I was reading through the story again and an earlier post had Herodus having a son with his wife, and a later one had him having no children.

    Well they already have steam launches, maybe they won't have trains but it doesn't strike me as unrealistic that they scale up the existing steam engines for larger vessels like tugs or galleys.

    Semaphore tower. That image can be found in the semaphore telegraph wikipedia page.

  9. Rebirth of an Empire "O Renascimento de um Império" v2.0

    Alright, not the main focus of this post but there's some major differences with France and likely the U.S if the Bastille got stormed more than ten years early. What's been going on in France that the Revolution started so early?

    Why not Canada though? Weren't there supposedly Basque fishermen.that were fishing the Grand Banks before Columbus found the Carribean? I would guess that if they could do it Roman explorers or merchants might.

  11. Rebirth of an Empire "O Renascimento de um Império" v2.0

    Just wondering, what exactly is being said here? It sounds like Tipu Sultan somehow managed to occupy Goa and is in the process of being squeezed out, but he never actually got there.

  12. Hadrian's Consolidation - reboot

    Guessing that wouldn't do much good for relations with China though, I remember Justinian did that and it destroyed the Chinese and Persian silk monopolies. While I'd imagine that kicking Persia while it's down would be a good idea to keep them from having a threat again, stealing a key Chinese...

    You still have to take into account all the road surfacing material as well, remember the roads are all covered in shaped stone that takes time and labor to make.

  14. Hadrian's Consolidation - reboot

    Commodus couldn't be his heir since sons are barred from becoming emperor.

  15. Hadrian's Consolidation - reboot

    Could you explain what these are? When I saw the description the first thing I thought of were caltrops, but as far as I know they aren't known as iron lilies.

  16. Hadrian's Consolidation - reboot

    And now we get Roman clacks. Guess that's one way to deal with the issue of the size of the empire.

  17. Hadrian's Consolidation - reboot

    Not so sure about the Mongols in this timeline, they aren't due for more than a thousand years, and if the Romans are already doing mechanization and building basic steam engines and blast furnaces, I'm guessing that in a thousand years the a group of horse tribesmen aren't going to be a serious...

  18. Hadrian's Consolidation - reboot

    So I'm guessing that the spawn of Outer Gods and Great Old Ones are perfectly acceptable? Certainly a way to derail history as we know itXD.

  19. Hadrian's Consolidation - reboot

    I'm not sure if this has already come up and I just missed it, but who is Marcus Aurelius's heir? Considering he's in his late 40's at this point and has already fought and been wounded in a major war you'd think he'd have designated an heir by this point, or at least have a few ideas in mind...

  20. Hadrian's Consolidation - reboot

    Just one question, is the Brachium described here supposed to be the Mangonel or the Trebuchet? The two were fairly similar except the former was better for for lower angles. And this total leveling of Hatra sounds like the Romans are about to break out of the mountains and have a fairly...
