Well, not how I would have done Illinois, but it's definitely "flag worthy", unlike our current flag :D Are you doing all these from a modern perspective or with a PoD at the start of the state that allows these? Chicago's flag is a good flag, though with a downstate perspective I'm...

You know, I'd actually never thought of the portraits as the idealized artist concept versions, but that makes a lot of sense. I just want to know why when I get the peasant woman witchcraft event they're always marked as ugly but the game picks the most beautiful portrait every time :p

Eh, I think we might have a bit too much backseat driving when it comes to this TL. While I was generally fine with how it was going, I can admit there were issues, as said in my previous post. The author has now made changes. Let's not badger him too hard and take away from his ownership of it.

In the spirit of submitting new things instead of nagging about the past (and about how people liked my last suggestion :p ), I have a new idea. The Waters of Life Stilled: Show the effects of the destruction/non-existence of a major river. For example, it could be a scenario where the...

Heh, well my ruler just died unexpectedly. He was in his late 60s, so not too unexpected I guess, but he had a lot of + health modifiers. Left to his own devices his first son actually turned out not too bad, just meh stats and arbitrary. Letting his brothers on the council was good enough...

Heh, funny. I've recently found myself "relaxing" my rulers grip on intrigue, in hopes someone offs his first son who's a real piece of work. Failing that, I've actually been gaming gavelkind for the opposite reason most people do, making it so that my second son will have power as a Duke of...

Hey, whether or not they're a travesty has little to do with how realistic or plausible they are ;)

So despite playing this for years, I only learned about 15 minutes ago how to tell how many troops an enemy can raise rather than just guessing :o On the bright side, my Ireland was able to verify the new 7 year old King of Scotland was indeed suffering a severe lack of confidence from his...

Obviously not a knock at your map making skills, but those borders for IL and IN are a travesty :p

Continuing with 2008. Reminder Maine is 5 EV, but the program doesn't show it correctly. President Powell proved widely popular in his first term. The economy continued to rebound along with his economic reforms, or despite of depending on who you ask. His keynote achievement was the...

Well personally the details I would want would be the responses to the attacks we just had. I mean, the TL is Korea focused, for obvious reasons, but I personally prefer a global view. Beyond that, however, how the attacks are handled domestically can have *wide reaching* effects. I'll use...

By comparison, I have a rather mundane complaint. The "hotline" actually reverted to a telex machine, so that mistranslations are less likely. Aside for one brief period the direct phone is just Hollywood ;) That said, I think while the North Koreans are being a bit crazier than I'd give...

And here's a quick guide to the alternate EC change. Grey is no change, red is loss, blue is gain. One seat change is 30%, two seats 50%, and 3 or more is 90%.

And 2004. (Note: Maine is incorrectly displaying as 4, when it should be 5 in this TL) By 2004 the fragile reconstruction was starting to be hampered by global instability. Economies were starting to get rolling again, but that only led certain groups to regain enough capacity to start...

And continuing on to 2000. The 2000 election truly does see the return of a normal set of election year theatrics. Though popular, the people are growing a bit tired of the Democrats program to revitalize America. Many believe it's time to moderate measures and begin resuming a global role...
