First of all, I don’t think this counts as ASB. Sure the hunnic migration probably occurred for climate related reasons, but I think there’s enough modern historians who believe the Hunnic migration was caused by the collapse of the Xiongnu Confederation that we can reasonably have the Xiongnu...

Introduction Oescus, Moesia Inferior 468 AD Dengizich, son of Attila. After the disastrous incursion over Roman Thrace, Dengizich, son of Attila, decided to stop the aggressions and agreed to make negotiations with the Eastern Roman magister militum Anagastes. The conversations took place at...

Lately I have been researching the Western Roman Empire and I have been making a mapgame of the usurpation of Magnus Maximus and I have asked myself the following question: What would have happened if the destinies of the West and East were reversed? that is, the Western Roman Empire manages to...

Say that the West Roman Empire managed to survive the perils of the 5th century, and at least lasts several more centuries. Rome also IDEALLY manages to keep her borders on the Danube and Rhine in Europe, or at least keeps a similar shape. So it can’t just be the Byzantine heartland with half of...

Okay, people like to quibble with the term “Dark Ages” for this era, but it does seem to be the case that historical records for the broad period of late Antiquity through the early Middle Ages are often rather spotty, perhaps as a result of periods of instability. For that reason, there are...

On 370, the Huns would expand south from AD 400, they would initially decide to expand South Instead which would make the Huns powerful. The Huns would join the Hepthalites in attacking the Sassanids this might have meant that the two Roman Empires would be freed from threats from the steppe...

An idea I had recently is that Flavius Aetius, the famous late Roman general, stays under Atilla and serves under him, rather than going back to Rome, becoming a reverse Stilcho almost. Changes early in his life, along with disgust at the intrigues and corruption of the imperial court, lead him...

While Atilla himself is famously known as the "Scourge of God" and the woe of the Romans, what happened after his death is not as famous. The Hunnic Empire didn't last very long after Atilla's death, finally dissolving and dispersing after a power struggle between his different children. What if...

One of the largest and most influential language-shifts in global history could be traced back to the invasion of Europe by Attila the Hun. Before the Huns most of Europe spoke various Indo-European tongues with Latin being the prestige language; the Attila's hordes crushed most of the 5th...

Attila's empire pushed several barbarian tribes west into the roman empire, with him himself being one of the first threats to Italy in a long time (other than annoyed Roman generals). So what if he never rose to power and started burning down east and central europe?

Challenge: With a POD from 450s to 700s, make a group of Huns survive in either Europe, Eurasia, the Caucasus, or Asia. So, make a modern-day Hunnic Ethnicity, after Attila, either a small ethnic group, or a large nation of Hunnic People. Bonus points, for a modern-day Hunnic nation(s), and...

What if, at the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains, Theodoric I survived and Attila the Hun died, rather than the other way around?

Your challenge is to keep the culture of the Huns around to some extent until at least 1000 CE. The POD must be after the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains.

Whether you believe the traditional story that Attila the Hun died of a severe nosebleed after celebrating his marriage to Ildico, the fact remains that he lost his life in 453. But what if he didn't? What might change if Attila lived significantly longer?

According to the video embedded (timestamp 30:30) Fritigern sent multiple envoys to the Romans before the battle of Adrianople. What if rather than continuing to deal with the Goths militarily, the agreement was made with a condition? Rather than simply King of the Goths and retreating - the...

In honor of the show Vikings coming back on the 28th of this month I was wondering what is your favorite barbarian invaders? The Huns? The Visigoths? The Turks? The Goths? The Mongols? The Vikings? What did they do that you like about them? Bring about the end of the Roman Empire? Largest...

Your mission is to have the Huns settle in Gaul. Bonus points if they take the role of the Franks.
