  1. WI : Post Mohammed Pro-Roman Rebellions

    As title really, I was wondering what impacts that there would be if successful pro-Roman rebellions in Egypt and the Levant. So two seperate large rebellions in Syria and Egypt, whilst not endorsed by the Romans, or funded, but the rebellions seek to restore Roman Rule. Besides being...

  2. AHC : Christian Arabia

    The challenge is to make the entirety of Arabia Christian, and ideally united. Whilst working on a pre-Mohammed PoD is what I would expect, post-Mohammed would be interesting (perhaps more interesting, and dramatic). Bonus points - Lahkmids are the unifiers - Independent - Pro-Roman...

  3. WI : Alexios Hires the Latins

    Very simply, what if instead of petitioning the Pope for aid, the Emperor of Byzantium instead sends out priests and recruiters across Europe. The Komnenids were wealthier than most Empires, and hiring and drilling a fresh army of Franks and Germans to back the Byzantine forces seems as valid as...

  4. Non-ASB Ways to have a Green(er) Sahara

    Figured that since the conversation was starting up on a thread (sadly locked, I'm guessing because of Necro-ing) I'd link the thread here and link it here. https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=207773 The premise is simple, whenever you wish, prevent the expansion...

  5. AHC : Nestorian Sayoshant

    So, I brought this idea up in another thread, but I am so enthralled with it that I wanted to ask it as its own thread. How could we see a Nestorian King, not only halt Mohammeds advance out of Arabia, but be seen as the Sayoshant by the Zoroastrians? My obvious thoughts would be to see...

  6. AHC : The British Counterattack

    One of the common topics I see is that Britain was the most vulnerable region to the Vikings, which is why it was invaded more than just raided - that and Ragnar Lodbrok. So the challenge is, using whichever means you wish, for the English, British, British & Irish to counterattack, and...

  7. WI : Red Sea Expansionism by Ancient Egypt

    I've been somewhat influenced by this thread : https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=372324 It doesn't need to meet the conditions of Cape to Cairo - this is a WI not an AHC. What opportunities, and repercussions would there be of the Red Sea becoming a major...

  8. Earliest development of a functional carbine

    I flippantly mentioned in this thread : https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=372649 The idea of Genghis Khans descendants developing carbines and cannons, and using them to conquer the world. This is why I thought I'd ask, what is the earliest a flintlock musket (and...

  9. AHC : Unite Christianity and Islam

    As per the title, sometime after the rise of Islam - say post 800 AD, make it so that the majority of adherents of Islam and Christianity adopt this philosophy. Islam and Christianity manage to move past their pasts, and see themselves as part of a single religious group, no further apart than...

  10. Ending Mass-Slavery in Rome

    One of the primary blockers that comes up whenever an industrial revolution in the Roman Empire timeline turns up is that Rome was so attached to slavery - which in turn depresses demand for goods, making the economy grow more slowly, and means that the wealth in circulation is too little to...

  11. Tanukhid, Lakhmid, and Ghassanid unification

    I'm curious as to why these three tribes, all Arab, and at roughly the same time, were all similarly Christian, were never able to unite either as one force. It seems to me that it was likely down to Roman and Persian interference on the part of the Lakhmids and Ghassanids, but the Tanukhids...

  12. AHC : The One Universal, Varied Church

    Sorry for the title, probably about as simple as it could have been for the topic of the thread. I've been toying with (and positing in threads) the idea of a single Great Christian Church with various great denominations. The bare minimum for the challenge is to create a single Church...

  13. WI : Surviving British Empire

    There have been numerous discussions on how the British Empire could survive on these forums, and the practicalities of this. Now, with a combination of a chosen PoD I'm curious about what people think a modern British Empire would look like - economics, social structure, political power...

  14. WI : The Romans bankrolled a Tanukhid Arabia

    Pretty much as the OP - rather than have someone like Emperor Valens try to convert them - instead offer them support to conquer the rest of Arabia. Could the Tanukhids unite Arabia backed by Roman coin? Could they then be trusted to stay allied with the Romans against the Sassanids? Would...

  15. AHC : Institute Examinated Inheritance.

    This can be in any polity that you want to create and leave in existence. The challenge is to institute and maintain for a period greater than 300 years, a consistent Examination system that determines who is the most qualified in the dynasty to lead the family (and as such in many places...

  16. AHC : Great Aksum, Lord of Arabia

    Your challenge is to make a long-lived Aksumite Empire that controls all of Arabia outside of Persian and Roman control - before the rise of the Islamic Caliphate. Bonus points for control over Somalia/East Africa. Double Bonus Points if they create long-term stability in the Middle East.

  17. WI : Roman Empire - Foederati Beyond The Borders.

    I was wondering what would have happened if instead of giving away land in Gaul and other regions to the Foederati in exchange for service in defence of the frontier and to conquer their new homes, if instead they transported them to lands that they would have overlordship over, as reasonably...

  18. WI : Pope Pius III survived his gout?

    After the death of Alexander VI, Pope Pius III died after a 26-day Papacy. What would have happened (particularly to Italy, and Cesare Borgia) if he had managed to survive for a decade - surviving his gout?

  19. WI : Desperate Quest for a new Home (New Byzantine Homeland / Byzantine New World)

    I posted a previous thread with an unfortunately obscure title, so I thought I'd create another more blatant one. What if one of the last Roman Emperors (we will go with John VIII Palaiologos) determines that the Empire is doomed after the failure of the Crusade of Varna. Instead of OTL, they...

  20. WI : Third Oddesy

    Entirely inspired by this EU4 Mod Third Oddessy : Return to the Motherland I've been wondering about how such an expedition could have worked. The mod assumes that sales to the Venetians, or Athenians could finance the trip, and that taking books, greek fire, and silk production was a...
