  1. Map Thread XIV

    Hmm. Upon consideration, the Pakistan bit bothers me: Islamic political fundamentalism was hardly as powerful, or as radical, as it is today in the 1950s. Groups like Isil are the results of the failure of secularism over decades, the examples of other successful revolts, and in the case of both...

  2. Map Thread XIV

    Continues to be grimdark interesting, Beedok. It's a more even cold war, since the USSA started from a far higher point, development-wise, than OTL Russia, while Russia, in turn, had a lot of catching up to do if it's to reach OTL US per capita levels. Still, things will tend to tilt in Russia's...

    I was hoping to change back. I'll have to try to prod CalBear again (he didn't reply to my message) or maybe contact Ian.

  4. Rememberences of Map Contests Past

    The next update is probably this weekend, if that's what you mean. (We seem to be lacking a "puzzled" emoticon, but perhaps I am blind to the subtle expressions of these new smilies and overlooking it).

  5. Map Thread XIV

    Well, nationalism is hardly a big thing in 1450: Austria-Hungary, after all, lasted till 1918. If I were looking for Alternate Disasters for the Byzantines, the Mongols should be kept in mind. They might find an empire intact inside its, say, 1173 borders rather more tempting a target than OTL's...

    WIP (slooowly) in progress: the US from the DMZ comic series. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMZ_(comics) ) Dark brown are major militia/insurgent groups, light brown minor local pro-rebel areas, peach/tan preexisting state structures cooperating with or at least staying neutral with respect to...

    Curious what's happening to the rest of the Mongol world for one thing... Here's an ASB scenario map, writeup here. https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/asb-settings.158644/page-128#post-12400813

    And that's me, Bruce. Not sure why I am now bm2617: I was just trying for a new password.

    Butterflies: the cause and solution of all our AH problems... :) Nice map, as usual. How centralized is the HRE, and aside from Venice and the Scandies trading, is anyone getting into the Western Continent Colonizing game?

    Lots and lots of image googling with "outline map" and "europe" as search terms. Couldn't give you the specific page I found this one on, sorry: I used microsoft 98 paint, and it's rather finicky about the sort of image files it will allow me to color in. This one I found after downloading 7 or...

  11. Justinian Double Blind

    Even if Justinian had conquered western territories, the Empire would have lost them again during the Arab wars: it took nearly a century for the fire lit by the Hassanite heresy to burn itsef out, and for much of that time it took most of the Empire's energies. The Arabs even took Egypt for a...

  12. Same-tech world

    Well, the "Areas of first preference" were roughly comparable technologically in the 16th century, at least for Europe, East Asia and the Middle East (The Indian ocean area seems a bit more backward, judging from the way little Portugal blew through the local opposition): the Europeans weren't...

    Greetings and salutations. I was inspired by this and the preceding to make a map: it's the first time I've been using this forum, so my apologies if it doesn't come through on the first try. Bruce
