world building

Yesterday I posted a map about the rise of a socialist party in the United States. After getting some feedback from there and other places I concluded that while I'm satisfied with my PoD and events that happen in the USA, I'm not so happy with how I handled the rest of the world. I guess I was...

(EDIT: THIS ONE IS NON-CANON NOW. I'M MAKING A NEW ONE) Back in early 2020, I joined a fictional Nationstates Roleplay in an amino community I was in along with a friend. For the roleplay I conceived a somewhat generic Filipino state known as The Kingdom of Greater Tagalog. As the roleplay went...

Hi all, I've been lurking around in this forum for years but I never felt like I fit in. Though I'm quite interested in history, my other interests are a little different. Over the years, I've been quietly working away at my own alternate history project, which I call Atlas Altera. Now that I'm...

I was inspired by this thread. https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/hypothetical-germanic-city-names-in-a-germanic-occupied-eastern-roman-empire.489148/ So lets say sometime during the 600s or early 700s during some war with the Arabs or Persians they invade and colonize Greece . What...

Good day to all, This is my first thread, I would like to introduce it as a world-building exercise, that takes the idea that the Frankish Empire survived to the modern-day. It is not a very strict Timeline, and I did not research every consequence and butterfly that the survival of the Frankish...

Hey all, I've been big into worldbuilding recently, and wanted to start a collaborative project here! Basically what I want to do is start by drawing the coastlines, then move to topography, then climate; after that there will be room for speculative evolution/anthropology/history, and people...

I was curious about if there's a map depicting each capital city on a map. I only got Washington, New Delhi and Moscow down. I want to include each capital in my map. Not each capital in the world. Countries: Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, UK, Iran and Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Poland...

Okay, so I found this map of Africa on the Imaginary Maps reddit: ...and I have been picturing an Africa in an alternate Earth where the lands of Turkey, Iran and the Arabian Peninsula never physically existed. Combine all of those features, and how would Africa's landmass be affected...

I currently live in a corner of what meteorologists call "Tornado Alley", and to be honest, I am getting fed up with hiding in bathrooms while the Reaper's Scythe spirals through my home town and threatens to undo years of hard work in one blow. At the same time, I live somewhere between the...

The Colossus of the New World A Collaborative Graphics TL "When we get a good quote to open the TL It will go here, for all to see. For now this spot waits, filled with empty words. It yearns for its moment. Its time to shine. It's gonna be waiting for a while though. Did I trick you into...

In an alternate Earth, Pangaea Ultima is not a projection 250 million years in the future, it is current. In this challenge, there are six alternatives to this alternate Pangaea Ultima, with that blue dot being the South Geographic Pole. In each of the alternatives, per the position of the...

Aside from the hocus pocus magic which became more pronounced as S.M. Stirling published more novels, there is a general agreement that the first 3 to 6 novels were good reads. Then it went downhill even though I will admit that I have read all of the novels. As mentioned in previous posts on...

I intended it as a map for a RP game (low fantasy Early Medieval setting with players controlling countries after fall of the great Empire) but it did not gain much interest, so I've decided to create new "world". With possibility of converting that into Crusader Kings II mod. First sketch of a...

Preface: Mods, if this doesn't fit in this forum, feel free to move it. This book blurs the lines between a bunch of forums and is more related to Alternate History Books in a meta sort of way. My family knows I love maps and cartography, but doesn't know that I am big into Alternate History...

Hello fellow alt-historians, You might have seen my post regarding the Holy Britannian Empire in my World of Nightrise project. On this map, I have depicted london as it was in the County of London (OTL 1889-1965; TTL 1869-present*), however, given that the "modern day" year in which the world...
