Online timelines with different Age of Discovery

Which online AHs have a different colonization of the New World?

Empty America's a great example, but it's also about an alternate ASBish Americas, so it's not the best one. The Vivaldi Journeys is excellent, but it's abandoned. A Pale Horse doesn't start with a different colonization of the New World, but it ends up different with very interesting results. Mustafa the Pretender is noteworthy for having a French mestizo/mulatto Mexico. Finally, there's Chinese Columbus, which is largely fanciful but I like it and also has West African colonies in Brazil. Also there's the sadly discontinued 1310: The Year Mali Discovered America.

Got any others?

My Ancient Egypt Survives to the Present Day timeline features Norse colonization in north eastern North America, Chinese colonization along the west coast of North America, Russian colonization in Alaska, Roman colonization in Mexico and central America, Ghanaese colonization in central and northern South America, and Egyptian colonization in southern South America. Plus surviving Native American states in southeastern and central North America, plus a surviving Inca Empire in South America.
 
My Renaissance-era TLs have different colonisation patterns - in This Fair Conjunction, this is due to the discovery of John Cabot on a small Caribbean island, and his inspiring Henry VIII to colonise the Americas (Henriksburg is the main settlement).

In A Kingdom and a Horse, Richard III won the Battle of Bosworth as opposed to cheapskate Tudor. Richard accepts Columbus' offer before he buggers off to suck up to Ferdabella of Castillagon, and hence England gets first crack at the Americas, claiming the Chesapeake Bay area as New England. The Iberians - united under one king - still get a good shot at the Americas, or "Brasil", and Jean Cabot discovers the Carolinian Sea for France, while the Lesser Antilles become the Fagundas (after Joao Fagunda, a Portuguese explorer). Further north, Denmark is colonising the St. Lawrence, while Scotland has a substantial scattering of colonies around the Atlantic Coast, including Port Hope (a strongly Reformist colony, founded by a fugitive Prince of Anglo-Habsburgia), and has also laid claim to Oregon (Jameston). The Incas are still around, as the Spanish have been more focused on the East indies - including their puppet of Chapon, an archipelago off the cost of Cathay, which was subdued under the rule of Grand Duke Hojo in the 1570s.

So, yes, fairly different. :)
 
My "Falling off the edge of the Earth" has no Americas, so it's a different Age of Discovery, certainly... ;)

...But it'll be at least a few more weeks before I can get back to it. :(
