  1. The City of Water:A Venetian TL (Discontinued: See V2 in Industrial Progress: A Story Of Venetian..)

    Looking forward to reading this one as a fellow Venetophile! Would actually love to see some overlapping from my own Venetian TL here as the 1500's arrive, seeing as it's the actual history so why wouldn't it be... (because deep, deep in my head I hold my TL's history as reality... Does...

  2. La Serenissima: Venice, Dawn of a New Power 2.0

    Hey all, Just a quick update, because you're entitled to one. As is obvious by now, this TL is on hiatus, unfortunately. Long story short, I'm incredibly busy at work and writing this AH consumes too much time. In order to ensure my focus is on work and work alone to effectively do my job...

  3. La Serenissima: Venice, Dawn of a New Power 2.0

    Hey all. Just an update: Firstly, just to hedge anyone from asking first, a new part will be up shortly. Secondly, in writing and based on some of the questions being asked in the discussion, I realize the last few parts, and the next few (most likely, depending on how I decide to play...

  4. Can This Norman Scenario Work?

    I guess that pretty much settles it. Ah well, thanks LSCatilina for the feedback.

  5. Can This Norman Scenario Work?

    Maybe my suggestion of dynastic ambitions was over the top, but I think the intent to gain lands works just the same. I agree. I'm curious as to whether this can be exploited to ensure Normans flock to Italy in with greater numbers. Good point. Understood, they were not there in vast...

  6. Can This Norman Scenario Work?

    Anything? If the above isn't likely I'd be be curious to hear another take on how to achieve the same ends, if possible.

  7. Can This Norman Scenario Work?

    Kindly excuse me if this is ASB, or my logic/scenario is off; I openly admit I have very little knowledge of this subject, which is why I request your assistance in critiquing and advising! I’ve become quite interested in the Normans in the last few months. After researching them, I’ve been...

  8. La Serenissima: Venice, Dawn of a New Power 2.0

    Happy New Year all, welcome to 2014! I'm sorry to all for my sudden hiatus. For those who may be interested, after the storm the entire family decided to take a different approach to the holidays, having all further festivities up in cottage country. I left the computer with my work files...

  9. La Serenissima: Venice, Dawn of a New Power 2.0

    Also Sketchdoodle, the TL was edited by CalBear so that part 1 is now a prologue. Everything before the 2nd part 5 has been brought ahead to normalize the number scheme.

  10. La Serenissima: Venice, Dawn of a New Power 2.0

    True, good points, but as a whole I must disagree. As you've correctly said, "the Iberian kingdom was somewhat exhausted of the revolt". In terms of the revolt, other than the added massacre (at no cost to the Spanish royal army) it played out as per OTL, which leaves Spain with enough...

  11. La Serenissima: Venice, Dawn of a New Power 2.0

    That's smart, I may have to do this too. Thanks a lot for the suggestions everyone! Much appreciated. Coincidentally I've recently been stressing to find good material on topics such as the Habsburgs specifically, as I see this TL naturally involving central Europe in the very near future, for...

  12. La Serenissima: Venice, Dawn of a New Power 2.0

    Looks like somebody's been wikiing ahead! Sorry if it came off confusingly, I couldn't think of another name for the runaway comunero sect. The answer is technically no. The ones who survived are the ones who had wanted Charles deposed before the tax and government reforms, but are content...

  13. La Serenissima: Venice, Dawn of a New Power 2.0

    Part 31, La Masacre Early September: After months of small naval skirmishes, including a separate large Ming Chinese victory at Tämäo in May, the main Portuguese fleet from India meets the Otto-Veneto-Sino-Malaccan alliance fleet off the coast of Colombo. The Portuguese armada consists of 23...

  14. Unification of Italy?

    Firstly I think it'd be easier for your cause if you can keep Spain and France out of Italy early. Once they come in, they don't actually get out, at least until it doesn't matter anymore (see option 3 for this to really apply). That being said, there are a few scenarios that quickly come to...

  15. La Serenissima: Venice, Dawn of a New Power 2.0

    Thanks! I'm glad everyone seems to like it :) My apologies :o You're right, they will be appearing more so in later parts, but the Venetians have already contacted them. If you recall, the joint Otto-Venetian mission sent into India to search for allies against the Portuguese is when the...

  16. Victoria: A Nuclear Century

    You have my attention, just wish there was more to read

  17. La Serenissima: Venice, Dawn of a New Power 2.0

    Attached is a map of the Indian Ocean and Red Sea in 1521. In Europe, the Venetian Republic can be seen in blue, the Ottoman Empire in green, and the Spanish Empire's possessions in orange. Clarification: Overseas bases and possessions of European nations (Venice and Portugal) are shown with...

  18. La Serenissima: Venice, Dawn of a New Power 2.0

    Absolutely. I've had the map of the Red Sea/Indian Ocean for a while now that I've periodically been updating with battles as they're fought. Depending on how the next part is going to be split I may have it up for then. I'll get onto an Italy one as well. Thanks for the request. Just for...

  19. If you could eliminate one person at any given time in the last century who would it

    Many of the usual ones said above, plus Pierre Trudeau

  20. La Serenissima: Venice, Dawn of a New Power 2.0

    Venice has some strict safeguards against that kind of thing. If it does happen, as you've said, it'll be thanks to pissing off the almighty Bourgeoisie. Yes, they do in fact own you! Seems to be the trend!
