  1. XCom2: After the End

    I see what you did there. :p

  2. WI: Stilicho escaped from his execution?

    After Olympius' coup against Stilicho and his supporters, Stilicho lost the control of the Western Roman Empire, being executed on the morning of 22 August 408 after leaving his sanctuary at Ravenna, following the letters signed by Emperor Honorius. It is said that his men wanted to defend him...

  3. AHC: Islamic state on Iberia

    Change Al-Mansur's regency and education of Hisham II, making the young caliph a strong leader and ruler. This would avoid the years of constant fight of the generals for the caliph's control, leading to more conquests in the north (Al-Mansur and his son Malik went as far as Navarre and...

  4. The Weighted Scales: The World of an Aborted Rome

    OK, that does work, South Iberia (and Northwest Africa) ends up being Punic-dominated ITTL anyway.

  5. The Weighted Scales: The World of an Aborted Rome

    There is a thing that can't be overlooked, Gadir and the comercial league made by former-Tyrian colonies on both sides of Gibraltar's straits. The Barcids went to Iberia (probably without conflilts, because there no archaelogical evidence of such) because, after the First Punic War, they needed...

  6. WI: J. K. Rowling is a Canuck

    Actually, she wrote part of the first book in Portugal, some of the names and places (like Slytherin Salazar) are based from her time in Porto. Even the Dementors, they were created due the depression she had after her failed marriage with a Portuguese journalist, reason why she left Portugal...

  7. Homefront (or how Korae manages to pull of a Red Dawn and curbstomp the USA)

    If the trailer wasn't already ASB, the timeline shown on the devs video seals the deal. Korean Federation annexing China, India, Central Asia and part of Iran in 2021.

  8. Need help in building a timeline

    Forgot to add something, the story is supposed to be on a more socialist-leaning world (than our capitalist-leaning world), but not one where the Soviet Union is supreme, but one more like a parallel version of ours, with the SU replacing the United States. So, using the events that I said...

  9. Need help in building a timeline

    I'm trying to build a timeline for a friend's story, but with already defined events on it. The events are: - Soviet Union manages to keep the missiles on Cuba - United States wins the Vietnam War - No hippy movement - No Pinochet coup d'etat - Stronger OPEC embargo - No Thatcher Is...

  10. Cronus Invictus: An Alternate Console Wars (Something a bit different)

    If Microprose had a better fate, there wouldn't be a Firaxis. :p

  11. Cronus Invictus: An Alternate Console Wars (Something a bit different)

    Microprose. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_MicroProse_games It deserves a better fate than in OTL.

  12. Rebirth of an Empire "O Renascimento de um Império"

    United Nations of Europe. It's clear that he is using Portuguese on the words of easy translation. And calling someone else native language "wierd writing" really doesn't help your request.

  13. Rebirth of an Empire "O Renascimento de um Império"

    Well, I prefer the other center of worship, which is way closer than Cristo-Rei for me. The Almada Forum. :p

  14. Rebirth of an Empire "O Renascimento de um Império"

    I can answer to that (since I live about 5 km from it :p): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristo-Rei Basically, is the same, built 150 years earlier.

  15. Cronus Invictus: An Alternate Console Wars (Something a bit different)

    I'm seeing ATL Windows 98 (and future versions) being more gaming focused, since Microsoft entered earlier on the gaming war. This might even hurt the compatibility of the other OS, more than OTL, making them less important. Or maybe the opposite, with someone releasing a true gaming OS for...

  16. Cronus Invictus: An Alternate Console Wars (Something a bit different)

    Indeed, that's the right question. As far as I remember, Saturn was the first that had a network addon, if I'm not wrong, and Dreamcast was the first with online gameplaying. But with the early introduction of a harddrive on a console, it's easier for developing a network connection on them.

  17. Cronus Invictus: An Alternate Console Wars (Something a bit different)

    This is huge. Are Nintendo, Sega and NEC preparing anything to fight this? Now I'm really interested who will the first to get internet connection on its console. By the way, it's Blizzard now? Wasn't supposed to be Silicon & Synapse? :p

  18. Cronus Invictus: An Alternate Console Wars (Something a bit different)

    I also have the game somewhere. :D But the game came out too late, on a time when the 4x games were a dying breed. But, yeah, if Blizz managed to release it, but more streamlined and mainstreamed than OTL, it could had a chance. But it's fun to hear Bill Roper on the trailers. :p

  19. WI: DC Comics and Marvel Comics Merge?

    Obligatory Amalgam Comics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amalgam_Comics

  20. Cronus Invictus: An Alternate Console Wars (Something a bit different)

    Just back to the gaming for a moment. I just found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGZwGyKkIkw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPnLL73Wmvc&NR=1 These cancelled games trailers were on the Warcraft II CD, games that Blizz were working on before they moved to Starcraft, starting the...
