Metek himself stood in Rome in case Rome gets attacked by the Papal Army.As the forces clased their way through the gates,a group of rebels stood. "ATTACK!" yelled the commander,Volsfelk Menvter.The long and bloody battle forced its way through.The rebels lost 4,000----1/16 of their troops,and Metek's lost 5,000------1/7 of their forces.Bologna was captured and made their way through.When Metek heard this,he said,"I declare the New Roman Empire,the empire of the world."He also crowned himself king----King Matthew I.

Ok, so I'm really confused by this. Can you give a little bit of background, or an explanation on what is supposed to be going on? Or just the general concept of the timeline?
 
OK. So this guy wants a Roman Empire again because he thinks the world will not be stable if there was not an Roman Empire.So he invades the house of the pope then kills him,he crowns himself King,and he sends of and army to invade into Swizterland.He sends another army to invade the south. But the army in the north don't expect a huge surprise for them.....
 
I'm sorry, but if you're going to make a timeline such as this, you're gonna have to do a better job at convincing me that this shouldn't go into the ASB category, because none of what you've started with makes any sense, nor would be remotely possible in any way.

Also, who's "Matthew Metek" and "Volsfelk Menvter" supposed to be? I've never heard of any of those men.

I'm going to have to agree here. I have no idea what this is supposed to be, and just some guy coming out of nowhere with an army big enough to defeat all of Europe's (because he would need to do that, to kill the pope without trying to replace him) seems even more than ASB.
 
memes like in my last one,well good.btw,sorry for the confusion,but those two people are fake and I will try to improve on the story

This certainly beats the Empire of the United Kingdoms TL.
 
Where is the POD? This Matthew Metek has to be... well...

He was 11 when the western part of the Roman Empire collapsed

so he was born in 454/455 AD.

And now it's the year

the pope is...
Alexander VI.

and the Holy Roman empire still/already exists.


So, this Matthew Metek (why not an Italian or a German name? Why an English one? Nobody knows) this Matthew Matek is now 1042 or 1043 years old (ASB btw), he was given a "Roman Award" (maybe the Prix de Rome created in 1663 ???) and has 10 000 friends fighting like soldiers for him and for some obscure idea of a Roman empire - are they soldiers (and where is the money to pay them), ultra-educated lower class fighters or average Roman citizens wanting to bring down the chief of their beloved catholic religion?

Now let's turn to the question of the consequences. So this Matthew - who seems to be a commoner without any legitimacy in the medieval world - is declared king !!??? (A Roman empire? With a king? Who imagines something like this...), establishes a parliament (okay. This is now very confusing. A parliament. In 1497.) and appoints a Prime minister (a British tradition... There were no ministers or regular governments in these times, and you want a Prime minister?)

The flag looks indeed like a Roman symbol, but is a modern reconstruction. The Renaissance had other ideas of the life and symbols in ancient Rome.

Also, "invading Milan to the north and Naples to the south" isn't really easy in these times. How big is the army? There are Milan, Florence, Genoa, Naples... Really mighty and rich, very rich city states and states who would certainly oppose.

And after you start to be the Roman empire, you'll directly have problems with Habsburg, with Spain, with Austria, with the HRE...

If you really want a Roman restauration, write a TL about fascist Italy, Risorgimento, Byzantium...
 
At the very least you're writing this like a fanfic, which I can accept much more than this guy. It' lazy but I guess you're shooting the shit and I won't give you too much of a headache for it.

You might want to read a couple of TLs if you're trying to do one of those but otherwise do what you will, I had a nice laugh and that counts for something I suppose.

Oh, I missed that TL, this is really superb :D

But, as said before, nothing can't beat this marvelous timeline: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=311314
