nice i hope we will see more this is one of my favorite time lines and caint wait to see where is it going and how will this new romans hold their territory

I'm hoping that with more experience now in writing, more experience making media, and more experience in realism (Like that's going to happen) I think I can make this timeline even better. But thank you so much! That was a very quick response. Do you have any requests for media or questions on the timeline?
 
i guess best question how far do you plant for Borgia to restore roman empire and do you have idea how would this roman empire will hold their territory whit different nationality

That's... a good question. I don't wish to spoil, but I don't think that I'd ever give them the full 117 AD slam dunk, however that doesn't mean they won't change the face of Europe forever.

I have a feeling a common Christian identity, former Roman heritage, militarism, nationalism and eventually federalism might be the best ways to preserve it, whatever I end up doing with this.
 
Because reading isn't fun, I made a map for the relations!

Light Grey is unclaimed by a Realm, and Grey is neutral rather than dark yellow. Regardless, here:

As you can see the majority of Central Europe and around half of the Mediterranean hate the Borgia's guts. However, as seen by this map, the enemies enemy is my friend.

I just want to see the Romans take back Greece and Constantinople.

They already own the Viceroyality of Epirus, so it's not too far off to suggest that.
 
Make the army bigger, recruit more officers.
At the same time, invest in transportation infrastructure and set a precedent for local lords that their towns and villages Rae to be improved and expanded
 
Making army bigger is the very thing borgia needs to avoid its like inviting enemies to invade them in stead they need to make their army professional,focus on building more of elite army while not expending their numbers to much,for officers i recommend building officers school that will get educated by veterans from previous wars,for transportation and infrastructures i agree as saying goes all roads lead to Rome and one of things that made Roman empire so successful,for government i say go whit forming provinces it could give the necessary federation and ofc use divide et impera on them i dont think idea for set a precedent for local lords is bad whit in said provinces

The best thing the Borgia's can do is fund cultural/technological development within their realm, build up infrastructure and try to prevent a world coalition kicking them back to Savoy.

Cesare Borgia Part 49: The Disaster on the Maghreb, Part 1.


‘I remind you all of your duty, and the fact that as I am the appointed commander of this army by the Emperor, I shall have final say over the nature of this campaign.', Alessandro d' Medici, June 1526, demanding other generals and officers see his thinking and agree with his plan.


The war in the remnants of the Haafsid Emirate continued, with increasing casualties for both sides as Europe watched the Sultanate fall to Roman hands. Gradually, as time wore on, the conditions of the Maghreb became increasingly inhospitable due to the drying up of supplies and increasingly hostile climate. The men of Savoy, Naples and Venice were not built for the interior sandstorms of the North African interior, and constant harassment by light cavalry slowly began to cause attrition in the Roman Army. However, overall the campaign looked successful, with dealing several blows to the Tunisian skirmishers in open battle had weakened them. As such, Emperor Marcus delegated command to one Alessandro de 'Medici, one of the most prominent nobles from Florence, and one that Marcus felt comfortable as granting the generalship of armies in Africa. However, this was not to be.

Alessandro Medici had felt the defensive stance of Marcus had slowed the crushing of the 'infidel', and as such drew up new plans for a punish further into the Atlas mountains. Many of the juniors officers had preferred Marcus's strategy, as it had granted them several pitched battle victories, and hadn't inflicted too many on their own for the cost. They therefore protested this plan, stating the poor conditions the army was already facing, and that going into the interior proper would cause far more harm than good. Alessandro however, would have none of it, and believed that a decisive blow here would win North Africa. He reminded them of the fact he had been appointed by Marcus himself to lead the campaign, and as such the officers begrudgingly agreed with this new approach. The agreement was made to march into the Atlas Mountains on the 14th of July.

Upon hearing of the departure of the Emperor from North Africa, Sultan Muhammad IV Hafsid prepared for a change in strategy. He sought to wait out in the mountains to prevent large scale movement of troops, and had scouts positioned at each of the key passes within the Mountain range for movement. He was rewarded, as soon the army of 25,000 under General Medici were spotted in mid-July.


One officer spoke up inside the command tent within Tunis, saying 'General, I feel it is unwise to pursue this strategy. We have already been doing very well considering the tactics we are facing, and we should follow Marcus's original directives of occasional pitched battles and coastal city defence.'

Alessandro snapped back, 'Nonsense. We've spent almost a year in this place, with increasing aridity plaguing the landscape. We need to finish them off once and for all and incorporate this into our realm.'

The officers grumbled in their tents at overhearing the conversation.

‘I remind you all of your duty, and the fact that as I am the appointed commander of this army by the Emperor, I shall have final say over the nature of this campaign. As such, you will do well to humour me in this endeavour.'

The grumbling ceased. While the officers in the tent with the General looked at each other with a mixture of nervousness, annoyance and confusion, they nodded and left the tent.


If only Alessandro could have heard the hinges of a door closing behind him.

Hello everyone! Glad people are still around to read this. Part 2 should be out relatively soon, and that'll be the 50th Part, so I need to make it big and special.

Thanks for Reading!
