    Lands of Bronze and Fire - An American Domestication Timeline, Take Two

    It's been a very long time since I've actually read any TLs on here. Graduated with two BAs in Anthropology and American Indian studies, and have definitely learned exponentially more than I knew in 2015. One day I'll have to sit down and re-read stuff like this. I can only hope I'll be able to...

    AH Cultural Descriptions

    A 1984 35-minute satirical polemic by conservative think-tank American Pride against then-President Jerry Brown's handling of the Soviet-Afghan War. As the rebellion against the Soviet Union escalated, members of Brown's cabinet as well as private political analysts all concluded that backing...

    The Q-BAM Improvement and Core Thread

    Is this the right thread to post in? I decided to make a natural terrain & geography map for QBAM. I painted it up for the base terrain, and for the mountains/physical landforms I just ended up distorting a satellite map on a Robinson projection (Why is QBAM ever so slightly different?)...

    The Sons of Inti Shall Not Perish

    The Ah Kan Ek' will probably be okay for a while, but he'll definitely need more than information for the Itza to make it into the 18th century.

    Kingdom of Karput (1472-1760) Karafuto Prefecture (1760-1921) Republic of Karput (1921-Present) I had a bit too much fun writing this. Territory carved from The Republic of Galicia-Japan with permission from @ThirdMan2005 . Fixed the anti-aliasing issue for Sibir. Also...

    Your formatting is wonky. Replace your post with this text: and it should work just fine. In the future, right click the image and click 'Copy image address' or a similar command. If your URL doesn't contain a file extension (e.g .png) you didn't copy it right. Updated the Mesalands once...

    The Sons of Inti Shall Not Perish

    Was just about to say. "You guys know these are two different things right?" Maybe there'll be such a confusion ITTL. "No no no, chocolate comes from coca seeds. It's the leaves that give you energy!"

    It'd be a bit smaller with Arizona and the Mesalands in the way, otherwise go for it dude.

    The Sons of Inti Shall Not Perish

    I wish we had a banter economy. Though the UK would probably vastly outcompete us.

    Worldbuilding- Country by Country

    We could make things interesting and make the empire lose territory via wars/independence movements/etc. In addition to playing out for some of my own ideas, it would add a layer of lore to the map and give people something to go on if they desired. If you and @ThirdMan2005 agree.

    Oof. You wouldn't mind if I started a few independence movements around Sakhalin and Kamchatka, would you? At least eventually? Had a few ideas there. Also, that one poor dude's Baja country keeps getting baleeted.

    Oh, you wanna go full imaginary? Hail, the Dominion of the Mesalands! The fertile, semi-autonomous and defensible highlands of the Sky Islands are our homes; the sun-kissed valleys are our roads. Quake with awe as our proud pastoralists lay claim to the Great Basin! Ai̲se from us and auf...

    Simple discoveries that would radically change ancient times or middle ages?

    Don't you need at least halfway decent machining technology before you can can things in metal containers? There's also pickling, which accomplishes almost the same goal but with varying results in flavor and...food safety if done improperly.

    Cool Potential Domestications

    While I'm not contesting a potential link between aggression and fur colors, I think piebaldism is incidental to domestication and not necessarily directly linked to docility. There's plenty of animals that don't express that phenotype but are still perfectly approachable. Maybe the neural crest...

    Land of Sweetness: A Pre-Columbian Timeline

    I guess it really all depends on if the Spanish are able to gain a foothold in the Americas in the first place, even as a trading presence. A lack of apparent success could set back colonialism by quite a bit. He means to comment on the spelling -- it's "Muisca", not "Musica". That said they...

    Land of Sweetness: A Pre-Columbian Timeline

    I am somehow getting a huge Hitchhiker's Guide vibe from this entry. Absolutely brilliant. It's also, once again, eerily close to the ideas I've been having for my own TL. Well, maybe a little different. But I loved this bit.
