  1. Romans cross the Atlantic

    For the last time...trolls do not eat tomatos. They eat stakes. Stay at home.

  2. Romans cross the Atlantic

    Ok, lets spell... 1 SUPPOSE THEY DID, THEN IT WOULD BE TOTALLY WORTHWHILE BECAUSE OF TOMATOS!!! 2 THIS WAS A TECH QUESTION...SUPPOSE THEY WANTED TO COULD THEY DEVELOP WHAT TECHNOLOGY? 3 YOU ARE TALKING OUT OF YOUR HAT, STOP QUOTING ME PLEASE.

  3. WI, general Crooks apachescouts were unreliable?

    The US army failed to take control of the apacheria until they under general Crook, enlisted large numbers of apache scouts. Suppose they had been really illoyal and not so effective... Or even if they switched sides suddenly...

  4. Romans cross the Atlantic

    Come on!...they totally would have sailed there fore tomatos... Thats just silly, that they would simply would not trade with a huge market like the americas... if they could, that is... Obviously they would have needed sailingships and better navigationskills to cross the atlantic...

  5. Romans cross the Atlantic

    This is more a tech-question. Suppose they know about the choclate, and the tomatoes. Could they build or develop technology to sail across the great oceans?

  6. Romans cross the Atlantic

    Well, I am sure that if the ancients knew about America they would travel there...I mean...just the choclate! mm..:) Sure enough, the vikings, polynesians and the celts did have better oceangoing vessels. And the romans were not a seafaring people. However they had a history of quick and...

  7. Romans cross the Atlantic

    On the other hand, vikings and polynesians could cross the oceans with even less?

  8. Romans cross the Atlantic

    Suppose an ancient civilisation would initiate the age of discoveries, sailing to India and the Americas... Did they have the technology to build such ships? Would their ocean going ships tend to look the same as the 15th century portugese sailing ships or would they row, in galleys?

  9. Medieval America Tk II: Discussion Thread

    Long post and an interesting one I will have to read all of it later. My thoughts are that even if there were an apocalyptic period of total disaster and chaos. People would not just forget how to read and build things. Just pick up a book or manual, and you can build an aeroplane providing...

  10. WI, Nuclear powerplant disaster cover up.

    Alright, but the fallout would still be detected right? Also consider the Fukushima leak into the pacific. Not exactly a cover up, but in away that would be a more acceptable nightmare.

  11. WI terrorist attack nuclear plant?

    Would they with a limited knowledge be able to force a disaster. A) Unlimited time. A sect places spies on the plant working for decades to achieve a full blown disaster. B) A terrorist assault takes over the plant and holds it long enough to produce a full blown disaster.

  12. WI, Nuclear powerplant disaster cover up.

    Suppose that the plugging the Chernobyl reactor leak would have failed and the Soviet government hushes down their mistake. No, thats not realistic, but what would happen if a PPlant disaster would just be allowed to live on unattended?

  13. How to be prepared for the Great Depression?

    Sell..sell sell everything, and then buy something solid which doesn´t loose value as much. When things start to go better...you buy! :) This was not so cynical? :cool: Seriously, regulate the finance sector and raise taxes when bubbling, then the reverse when things start to fall for...

  14. WI the gunpowder revolution centred around rockets rather than firearms?

    Without cannons no firearms one could assume. This would allow heavy armor troops like knights to live on, because rockets would not have that penetration power nore is it possible to use by individual soldiers?

  15. What if Arnold does a another Conan movie insted of Terminator 3

    Would he still be the Governator? Edit: Terminator (-)3 as in Conan and not Terminatormovies.

  16. Fantasy and Alien Blank Basemaps Thread

    Hyborian age/Iceage Iranistan should probably be removed...

  17. WI: Industrialized nations react to warnings of global warming early?

    Bascially what effects would that have on the economy and politics? Obviously we don´t really know the full effect on the enviroment but lets say the green solutions would help. Would the eastern block fulfill their part in midst of the cold war? Would the west even be able to control...

  18. AHC: Musicracy

    Artists and poets were probably respected but perhaps not before radio would musicians reach "stardom" with that level of influence as today. Also in our culture we allow teenagers to rebel, not as true in the ancient world. But suppose a religious cult, kind of like Pythagoras who started...

  19. High middleages without gunpowder.

    Was the trebuchet not powerful enough to break most walls at the day? Naval battles, more galleys with rams?

  20. What if europeans would have treated colonies as provinces?

    Suppose that the British Empire would have built industries and really developed their Indian possessions, or likewise with the other colonial powers. Would India (for example) go free much earlier, perhaps after WWI? Would India, rise as a major power with its on agenda in WWII. Or would...
