The main antagonists were supposed to be China (not that it makes much sense either with that) but was changed early on so they could get into the Chinese gaming marketThe game treats everyone that's not North Korea as entites lacking any sort of agency in this situation and just magically turns into Koreans. I'm sure even IRL Kim Jong Un thinks this is insanity.
Very cool. What is the backstory for this?View attachment 831369map of the New Achean League and its 72 Free and Sovereign Republics (yes, they sadly have to also claim the Montanan ones) in the year of Athena, 237 (1990 ad/ce)color coding:
Yellow = 'Association of Montana', aka FSRs that are heavily influenced/predominately of the Episcopal Church of Achaea
Tannish Orange = FSRs that are designated as "Native American Majority" (aka have most of the population be a part of one tribe or another =/= ancestry), basically the same as the rest, just with more choice over border control
Maroon? = normal FSRs, aka has majority/plurality of population identify with the "Church of Hellas", which is essentially ancient greek religion merged with enlightment thinking and american exceptionalism
sweden settles further south in the delaware/maryland area, which leads to them keeping it (and the dutch long island) until the 1750s, where a massive wave of revolutions happens, which leads to a military dictator Ben Franklin leading a much more decentralized USA and Edgar Allen Poe creating (more like codifying, it basically already existed) ancient greek religion 2: american boogalooVery cool. What is the backstory for this?
You've gotta love how those internal borders have stayed the same for over 5000 years.View attachment 831581
The Greater Soviet Empire Circa 7000 AD
I got it off some conspiracy theory Website. All I developed about it was a specific greater emphasis on the starts but it could make sense to go from there to a specific greater focus on worship of a Stellar god known as Auseklis(Balts) or Zvezda(Slavic)
I dare you to do a map that changes borders and isn't mega Soviet commie wet dreams. You have it in you, I know it! Give us something truly creative and original. You're better than the bland, almost trolling maps you've produced. Imagine change.View attachment 831581

Ah - were they claiming that Lithuania was somehow majority pagan, despite the very large number of Orthodox Slavs in the vast majority of their territory?I got it off some conspiracy theory Website.

It is far cookkier, like Ancient religion and the Pope rewrote all of history levels of conspiracy.To add on to some of the weird Slavic nationalist stuff on here-- Francis E. Dec's beliefs about the world.
Dec believed that, in ancient times, the world was ruled by a highly technologically-advanced agrarian Slovene Empire, which practiced a religion called Astrocism, built on astronomy and the worship of the stars. He believed that this empire built both the Egyptian and Mesoamerican pyramids, that evidence of the Astrocism liturgical calendar remained in the form of the Polish names for the days of the week and the months of the year, and that 'Kolendi' (modern Polish Christmas traditions involving going carolling from house to house) were a remnant of ancient Astrocism religious rituals. He also believed that Poland was the modern-day remnant of this empire, arguing that 'Slovenia' is still a byname for the country in certain languages, and that the religion of Astrocism was still maintained in secret, even under the iron curtain. Also, the Roman and Holy Roman empires never existed, and were just propaganda to deceive people.
According to Dec, this empire built a supercomputer, for the purpose of creating an electronic encyclopaedia. Predictably, this supercomputer gained sentience, went rogue, became god-like in its power, and conquered the world. This supercomputer, referred to as the 'worldwide mad deadly communist gangster computer god' created 'prawo slavna', the first 'totalitarian superstition communism religion', and from there created the Catholic Church, along with a series of mind-control technologies referred to as 'frankenstein controls', which it used to brainwash, manipulate and mentally enslave the general population. The computer god also created the Jews, by interbreeding parts of the Slovene Empire's Polish citizenry with captured African slaves. The crusaders were the computer god's enforcers of its tyranny, brandishing swords covered in 'poison nerve jelly', and wearing helmets equipped with infrared and night-vision technologies.
Exactly when the computer god seized control of the world Dec never made clear, beyond vaguely stating that it took place 'several hundred years ago'.

Couldn't find it on AH.com, but does this map from Reddit look familiar?Hello, I am currently looking for a map that I saw on AH a few years ago.
This map represented the conquests of a Lappish prince (I think) in the Middle Ages. He led a conquest of a large part of Scandinavia, before invading and plundering the Rhine valley and becoming a terror to the Christian world.
Does my description speak to anyone?
Apologies for my ignorance but is this OTL?For any with a passing interest, this is the WIP of my 1560 map
Ottoman Empire now added.
