  1. Map Thread XIV

    That was intended on my part for minor stylistic reasons, but I've added them onto the map if it would help.

  2. Map Thread XIV

    A short and sweet map I made for a contest. This map is inspired by B_Munro's cover of one of Imajin's maps, one I personally like to call "Saxony and the Empire." History: The origins of the modern Holy Roman Empire can be traced to the early Medieval period. Unlike in our timeline, the...

  3. No Turks in Anatolia - Where else?

    I've been working on a timeline of mine and I am increasingly finding that the PoD I've gone with puts me a head of many of the foundational stones of the modern world. One such example is it predates the arrival of the Turks in Anatolia. So, for diversities sake, I was wondering how this could...

  4. Wessex-Danelaw Stalemate?

    Then where would it sit on the Wessex/Danelaw line? Granted at this point in time London wasn't particularely important, but if it would still grow to importance is an interesting topic. Would it still be important as a mere border town between two rival kingdoms? I see two possible scenario's...

  5. Wessex-Danelaw Stalemate?

    How would it be possible for England to be permanently divided into two spheres, one dominated by Wessex and the other by the Danelaw? My knowledge of Early Medieval England is sadly not great, but from what I have read the key focuses would be dealing with Alfred the Great in some way...

  6. Looking for a comprehensive Russian/Polish history

    I'm planning on writing a timeline whose PoD is in Eastern Europe in the 800/900s, but my knowledge of the period is rather lacking. I've been looking into a few books which cover the periods of Russian history I am looking at in particular the early history of Russia into the Imperial era and...

  7. An "African" "Mexico"

    I do like the idea of Kongo, but would a protectorate be sufficient? I would assume at least partial colonization would have to take place, else you end up with something like Egypt. Following the orders of the "mother" country but still being totall distinct from it.

  8. An "African" "Mexico"

    Cape Verde isn't quite what I had in mind, for previously stated reasons. South Africa kinda works, but the impression I have of it is that it is similar to most other African countries, a bunch of smaller tribes and ethnic groups with their own individual traditions clumped together only...

  9. An "African" "Mexico"

    Choosing this tile was rather difficult, I must say. Inspired by Capricus' map, I've grown curious as to how a timeline could occur where a colonial African state can become similar to our Mexico. By that I do not mean in a strict sense, but in a broad sense of cultural mingling and...

  10. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    May be a redundant question, but what is a good beginners character in East Francia for a 867 start? Whenver I play a strategy game I will always pick the Germans if the option is given to me. I've tried the Dukes of Saxony but the damned Danes cause a lot of problems for me. Maybe a count in...

  11. Results of a Russo-Central Powers War

    How do you see the results of a war between Germany and Austria Hungary versus only Russia? I recall reading somewhere that the French were initially apprehensive in getting involved in the Serbian affair and it was Germany's greedy demands and implementation of the Schlieffen Plan which...

  12. Map Thread XI

    As a follow up to my map, is there an area of that timeline that'd anyone would like me to do another map of? It would be a more local and detailed map. So what would be interesting? To chart the rise of the Durani? The Prussian expansion into Tartary? The German Wars? I'm open to any suggestions.

  13. Map Thread XI

    Thanks, as you can guess you were a big inspiration for the map. The next one I do will likely not be B_Munroist, but when it comes to making a map of the whole world I find your style to be quite effective. The Germans didn't care much about where the Qing came from. They cared more about...

  14. Map Thread XI

    Here is my latest creation, an almighty German wank which is set in a slightly more dialled back version of my Teutonic China map. I've actually had this map ready for quite some time, but writing the back story has proven to be the biggest problem for me. So instead of writing a massive...

  15. Map Thread XI

    This map is a modernisation of map I did back in Map Thread VII, which is in itself an update of an ancient one from Map Thread V. Guess who it is in the style of. This is the world of Atompunk, in the year 1975. The United States of America is embroiled in the middle of the ‘Cold War’...

  16. Help with a German Eurasia

    I am looking for some advice in regards to a map I am working on which is a less wanked version of my German China map I did a while ago. The basic premise is that due to a series of events originating in the Early Middle Ages the Teutonic Order finds itself in control of increasingly large...

  17. Map Thread X

    A very interesting idea in regards to the Catholic colonisation of the East. I had not considered a potential religious angle to the expansion which would also help create the ethnic melagne that I envisoined the empire to look like. One of the key thoughts behind this Teutonic Empire was that...

  18. Map Thread X

    You are spot on. The Azoth-7 map is where most of the inspiration came from. There are some teaks here and there, like Japan being more based on the Holy Empire of Nipon map posted a while back and the initial idea came from a recent binge of British Siberia maps and an even older map series...

  19. Map Thread X

    Been a while since I've taken part in one of these (or posted for that matter) but the topic of the map of the fortnight contest caught my interest. The principle is highly implausible, but I liked the concept of it. I'll keep it concise as well, although if you want specifics then do not be...

  20. MotF 76: Meet the New Boss

    Been a while since I've taken part in one of these (or posted for that matter) but the topic of the fortnight intrigued me enough to have a bash. The principle is highly implausible, but I liked the concept of it. I'll keep it concise as well, although if you want specifics then do not be...
