  1. Discussion: Who had the WORST claims to being the successor of the Roman Empire?

    All of them are bad, except Medieval HRE and the Papacy/Vatican. But since San Marino cannot even marginally assert the claim, I'll pick them as the worst.

  2. Last Light of Gaul: the Domain of Soissons endures

    It might become a name for region around Soissons, however. But yeah, Gallia will remain as Gallia, albeit with linguistic evolution.

  3. The Aztec Empire reforms itself?

    The No 1. will probably make the reform rather unpalatable to many within the Aztec Empire, especially the other two members of the Triple Alliance. As odious as the Aztec demands could be, it was relatively autonomous and light-touch system. And in case of the rest of Triple Alliance, it...

  4. Keep One Confederate General Loyal to the Union

    What about Josiah Gorgas? His absence could seriously hamper the CSA's logistics.

  5. earlier machine gun 1850s

    Mitrailleuse exists. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitrailleuse It's not exactly a Gatling gun, however.

  6. WI: Francisco Solano López captured alive

    Honestly, from what I read, Mitre or Pedro II might just execute or assassinate him even if he gets captured alive.

  7. AHC: Keep the Shun dynasty around

    What if the Manchu still passes the Shanhai, but unable to conquer much beyond that and the Shun consolidates in a way @darthfanta suggested, resulting in a border similar to the Northern Song-Liao?

  8. Alternate Migrations general discussion

    The Franks were known for their piracy in the English Channel during the Late Antiquity, so how about them?

  9. WI: Suleiman takes Vienna

    It will deal a major blow to the Hapsburg, but I am not sure if the Ottoman Empire will be able to conquer beyond the Vienna or keep it for many years. They appear to have reached the limit of expansion in Central Europe with Hungary.

  10. AHC: Larger Christian Minority in Japan

    It's still only around a quarter of the population (Protestant, Catholic, and the rest combined), while over half of the population is an atheist/agnostic/cultural Confucian.

  11. What other strategic sites could the Romans build a new capital in?

    But would it be sustainable?

  12. The Fall Of The Old World

    The anti-Irish sentiment was always there, considering all those posters are from OTL. This is just intensifying and radicalizing it.

  13. Osman Reborn; The Survival of Ottoman Democracy [An Ottoman TL set in the 1900s]

    No idea about how WW1 may go. So far it doesn't seem that different from OTL WW1. It really depends on how the German invasion through Belgium may go. On the Balkan, I think Ottoman will suffer losses in Albania and North Macedonia, but I see the stalemate coming soon. The problem for...

  14. WI: Magellan and co. win the Battle of Mactan

    How can they win except not fighting in Mactan, anyway? Magellan had a few dozen Spaniards and several hundred native allies, against over a thousand warriors.

  15. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Even if the Pttomans royally screw up the war at sea, what prevents them from rolling over the Trebizond's frankly terrible army? It will probably be inevitable, but you should delay it since, as I said above, the current Trebizond army is just terrible.
