  1. Augustus was succeeded by Germanicus

  2. How many Civilizations exist today?(Traditional Cultures not including globalization))

    0. Civilization is a spook. Name one thing that constitutes a civilization. Cities? Just a lot of people living near each other. Nothing inherently different from a bunch of nomads living around a mountain, they just get more exercise. Religion? Also a spook. Either people don't really think...

  3. Fate of the Greeks had they been conquered by early Muslim invaders

    Practically all that you say about the Greeks can also be said about the Persians. Beyond that, the majority of Copts did convert historically. Not immediately of course, but the modern population of Egypt is majority Muslim, along with being mostly the same genetically as ancient Egypt. So too...

  4. AHC: Keep Akkadian Alive

    Akkadian seems to have been completely replaced by the Aramaic language during the Neo-Assyrian Empire. So, the challenge here is to prevent the ascendancy of Aramaic in Mesopotamia and maintain Akkadian's role as the primary language in the region. Survival to the modern day of some descendant...

  5. AHC: Alternative names for Russia

    Given that the Rus name is quite early in Russian history, maybe avoid the Kievan Rus' altogether and have one of the local tribes assert dominance over all the others, and give their name to all of the associated peoples rather than just their own tribe, like what happened with the Mongols. So...

  6. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Neat idea. Here's some more for the Russian Kovner: Omsk vs. Tukhachevsky If I recall correctly, it is mentioned that Tukhachevsky is someone Yazov admires. However, he is disillusioned with the old Soviet system that Tukhachevsky at least purports to support. The two share an overwhelming...

  7. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    That's already a feature of the SBA. Up until you reach super-regional status Despotism will continually increase in popularity. If it reaches a high enough point, the Black Army will do a coup and basically be a military junta pretending to be anarchist. If you reach super-regional with Lib-soc...

  8. AHC Alternate or Surviving Languages

    Language: Novgorodian Region: Northern European Russia, especially centered around Veliky Novgorod Family: Indo-European -> Balto-Slavic -> Slavic -> North Slavic -> Novgorodian Writing script: Cyrillic (Or Latin, if it goes Catholic rather than Orthodox) Loan words: up to 10% Old Norse, up to...

  9. Have around 1 million East Germanic migrate to one place and make their culture/language survive

    I believe you may have misunderstood the thread's premise. This thread is about historical East Germanic groups, like the Goths, Gepids, Vandals, and so forth rather than eastern Germans. Not to mention that your POD is post-1900 rather than pre-1900. As for the actual thread topic, East...

  10. Catherine II (accidental or not) Germanisation of Russia

    I don't think that Ingria would be the German Protestants' choice of where to migrate to in Sweden. If they were to go to Sweden, they'd likely settle in a few places instead. Mainland Sweden, specifically in the areas around Stockholm or in the new little city of Göteborg (Gothenburg). IOTL...

  11. You have ever half planned some ATL timelines who likely will never be written?

    I might get around to these some day, but not any time soon, so I may as well post these quick ideas I had not too long ago. The Manichaean Empire Rome converts to Manichaeism rather than Christianity. The religion would obviously be altered in some ways due to the conversion, and the TL's...

  12. AHC: Norway-Finland-Scotland

    The hardest part is going to be getting Novgorod in this union. The easiest part is getting Scotland and Norway unified. There were already opportunities IOTL for that to occur by marriage. There could also feasibly be an invasion by Norway under some pretense or another which leads to them...

  13. Kingdom of Skype, or the Medieval Kingdom of Estonia

    I was simply using Teutons as a synonym for Northern Crusaders, though I see I should not do that in the future. And I originally thought that the Livonian Order began as part of the Teutonic Order, only to be separated later. However, here, the Bishopric of Dorpat cannot exist, due to the...

  14. Kingdom of Skype, or the Medieval Kingdom of Estonia

    A fair point. I'm just not entirely sure what to replace the word "charges" with. Estonia, prior to the decimation of its population by Crusaders and Plague, is commonly estimated to have a population of around 200 000, so your estimate is quite accurate. As for Estonia requiring good foreign...

  15. Kingdom of Skype, or the Medieval Kingdom of Estonia
    Threadmarks: The Early State

    Lembitu was, as many war time leaders were, not exactly the greatest leader outside of war. He actually had little to do with Estonia’s continued survival after its initial war with the crusaders. Most of his role was to serve as a uniting figurehead for the individual tribes of the Estonians...

  16. Hark! An Explorer's Untimely Demise! (The Early Death of Columbus)
    Threadmarks: An overview of Spain for a while

    “A Espanha sempre regerá as ondas!” -Attributed to Mem de Sá, Spanish Naval officer from the 17th Century Spain’s history is a long and storied one. From its Roman roots, it has been conquered by Goths, Arabs, and then by native Spaniards. From there, it was split into three main kingdoms...

  17. Hark! An Explorer's Untimely Demise! (The Early Death of Columbus)
    Threadmarks: POD

    “January 12th of the year of our Lord 1491 marked the last day a man from Genoa named Christopher Columbus walked this God-given Earth. He had spent his days wishing to explore this world God has given us. He was a fine man, who unfortunately had to suffer through the Great Pox in his last...

  18. Your Ideal European Borders?

    This is the only acceptable map of Europe:

  19. AHC - Baltics dominated between Lithuania and Estonia

    If you want Estonia, and not the Baltic Germans to split the Baltics with Lithuania, then you need a PoD in the Baltic Crusades. You'd either need Estonia to Christianize and unite by itself before the crusaders come, which I find unlikely, or for Estonia to repel the crusaders and at least...

  20. Protestant Reformation Causes A World War

    You could in theory make the Thirty Years' War even bigger than it was in OTL by having a few key changes. Get the Ottomans to invade Austria and then get the Safavids to invade the Ottomans. Bring Poland-Lithuania against the Turks and get Russia to attack the Poles. From there get Indian...
