  1. Monarchs who divided their realms between multiple heirs?

    Random question for a story im writing. Other than Charles V of the HRE, are there any monarchs in history who have split their realms between heirs on the deaths?

  2. Rema Victor; Remus kills Romulus

    Now i suppose this idea requires a modicum of suspended disbelief or at least a glossing over of the more fantastical aspects of the Roman foundation myth (not that its implausible to imagine Rome being founded, or more likely the extant villages on the hills of Rome being corralled into a...

  3. Pre 1900 'what ifs?' of food.

    A few thought excercises revolving around food, which in turn requires a lot of thought about historical trade, which in turn requires thinking about foreign policy. 1. Make Britain a coffee drinking nation 2. Describe Mediterranean food if the Americas do not produce the tomato. 3...

  4. AHC: The Exodus of the Britons.

    So, of all the random things to watch, i was watching a film about the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt, Moses etc etc. It got me thinking about creating an alternate national history for a nation based on an exodus of peoples and their settlement. So the challenge is this. At some point...

  5. Star Trek: Birth of the Federation

    I owned this game many years ago, and loved it for its simplicity and downright addictiveness. Ive looked for many years, and google seems to delights in directing me to websites from which to download the game, but which in reality allow me to do nothing of the kind. Any ideas? Can anyone...

  6. WI: Alex Salmond joined the Labour Party

    If we assume this is true, what if that Labour Party canvasser skipped the Salmond household that day and he never joined the SNP, but followed his dad into Labour. Well. What if?

  7. British Florida endures: Collaborative TL

    So my thoughts are. How to create a situation in which. 1. The US becomes independent much as it did in OTL. 2. Spain did NOT regain Florida (they lose the Battle of Pensacola, which is what handed the Spanish Florida during the American war of independence),and Canada stays British...

  8. WI: Charles Dickens entered politics?

    Ive been fascinated by Charles Dickens for years, perhaps more so with his private life than his books. So I ask what would have happened if Dickens went into politics? His personal politics are actually hard to pin down. His early work as a parliamentary correspondent, not to mention his...

  9. Create a POD from 1400 onward to help Byzantium survive

    Im not looking for the empire saving as a massive unit, because by this stage, i think its beyond saving, but some form of Byzantine state, centred around Constantinople, and perhaps its immediate hinterland, post 1453 It doesnt have to be a state in any good condition, but it DOES need to...

  10. AHC. A Roman state in Italy outlives the Western Empire.

    Essentially, we all know the history of the collapse of the empire-tribes moving in for variosu reasons (migrations, invited in as an army for the empire etc), changing the racial, linguistic make up of various parts of the empire So the challenge is to have a Roman state IN Italy, presumably...

  11. Jorvik Rising! The Independent North, Collab TL discussion thread

    So im thinking up a time line whereby Harald Hardrada DOESNT die at the battle of Stamford Bridge, where the Norwegians are NOT utterly annihilated at the Battle of Stamford Bridge by king Harold (the Norwegians would have to be marching united, on one side of the river not two, and have their...

  12. The cities that nearly were.

    What got me thinking was this-if you look at these maps you will see that `Merseyside`, the general connurbation centred on and to all intents and purposes outside the area, synonymous with Liverpool is actually various entirely seperate political local government entities. Someone...

  13. What if Britain had allied with France over Germany, how would WW1 have turned out?

    We all know that Britain went to war with Austria and Germany against Russia France and Italy in WW1 (1914-1917) as a result of its alliance following the Vienna conference in 1903, but what would have been different if Britain had fought AGAINST Germany in WW1?

  14. AH Challenge. Make York the English Capital City

    Its as simple as that-think of a chain of events, POD etc for the English capital city to become unequivocably York, not London. Go as far back as you want-to Roman times if you like. IMO this doesn't mean London would cease to be the economic capital (its geographical position is clear in any...

  15. Create the conditions for Northern (England) seperatism

    ..........starting some time pre 1900 (possibly a LONG time pre 1900) My reasoning is this. The North as a general concept has many of the aspects of a seperate identity-a sense of difference from the south, various social and economic issues unique to its part of the world, and various...

  16. AH challenge-give the UK a capital other than London, starting in 1603

    ..........not England, but the UK. Basically, between 1603, when James VI of Scotland becomes king of England, and perhaps 1707 or thereabouts (when the Act of Union occured in OTL), create a set of circumstances and events that would give the UK, or what would be the UK in OTL and presumably...

  17. The British Revolution, collaborative TL discussion.

    Ive often thought that the closest the UK has ever been to a French style revolution might have been the early 1800s with the pressures that lead to the Reform Acts, the Peterloo Massacre,discontent with an unpopular monarchy and mass technological and thus cultural change as populations...

  18. Your Crusader Kings/Crusader Kings II dynasties

    So your own dynasties as played on your own games Mine is the Pateranos dynasty, a self made one using the Ruler Designer add on. All so far have been emperors of Byzantium Timescale 1066-1142 First emperor Niketas I. Major achievements, siezing Syria and Sicily, vassalising Croatia and...

  19. Crusader Kings/Crusader Kings II After Action Reports

    So, they are naturally fairly common on the Paradox website, but i thought it would be interesting for people to put AARs up here-show us your map at various stages, th de details of your dynasty, and flesh out the details with something of a story. I might try one with my hugely cheat reliant...
