    The Reign of Emperor Xiaomu of Han (A Han Dynasty TL)

    I wish it felt that way, this map was an exercise in suffering when it came to making it. It was a 140 AD/CE population map, with it's own colors, but it was one of best developed maps for a map of the Han Dynasty, period. Daresay, if I were brave enough this could probably be a good source...

    Was the Emperor of Japan truly powerless prior to the Meiji Restoration?

    To chime in, the main problem with any kind of 'Restoration' is the Emperor either to has his own powerbase and reliable supports, or is going to serve as some of figurehead by the hopeful powers that be, because as someone has mentioned the Emperor was powerless AFTER the Meiji 'Restoration'...

    The Reign of Emperor Xiaomu of Han (A Han Dynasty TL)
    Threadmarks: Map of the Eastern Han Dynasty, 189

    Without further ado, this abomination of a map, that I think is at times ugly, and unfortunately this site won't accept the full map at its size. I had to basically edit a population map of the 140 AD/CE Eastern Han Dynasty, and from there try and find out which commanderies still existed, and...

    Map Thread XXII

    Okay, I've finally managed to do it, even if it was a total pain in the ass, but I hope it can be read. This is an attempted political map of the Han dynasty by about 190 AD/CE for a TL I want to go get back into. All of it's commanderies and dependent states are marked and label with their...

    AH Concept: East Asian West Coast in the 19th Century

    As someone else who has planned East Colonization of the West Coast, or at least Japanese colonization it's not easy. (Mind you, I'm starting from the premise of Japan being united by the Imagawa, largely because Sakoku you can chalk up to the Tokugawa's lack of real military power to control...

    Nobunaga’s Ambition Realized: Dawn of a New Rising Sun

    I'd say from experience, culture and particularly fashion are some of the hardest things to do, and even harder to get 'right'. It would need the right mix of appeal, feasibility, and possible development especially if one wanted to consider what would fashion look in a world that wasn't...

    Nobunaga’s Ambition Realized: Dawn of a New Rising Sun

    I have some issues with this update. I get your trying to create and sow the seeds of a future conflict, but this strikes me being a bit too poorly justified from where it stands, and if this is resolved in one update, I think just too short for what you can get out of it. The names themselves...

    Here is a Map Key because I have this on Imgur and it barely loads sometime. Also this a 'new' map, that I've used on Sufficient Velocity, but never on AH.com. The format goes clan, then the province, province names that are in Bold are contested. I'm sorry about all of the colors, but there...

    Threadmarks: Par1: A Fool is Felled at Okehazama

    June 12th, 1560 Okehazama, Owari Province It was a dull gray sky with the sun obscured by a thunderstorm. In sharp contrast, the sounds of celebration echoed from the camp of the army of Imagawa Yoshimoto, ninth head of the Imagawa Clan of Suruga. Yoshimoto himself sat within his camp...

    Why no "Vlad the Impaler" types in Western Europe?

    Because you had different political systems at play. In Western Europe you seldom had to deal with the nobility without some kind of established boundaries, like a governing body. In parts of Eastern Europe, you did have nobles with considerable influence without any way to keep them in check...

    A Khanate of the Rus?

    Not really, the Mongols themselves let the Rus be and lived how they wished, as long as they submitted or paid tribute, in fact, they even had one of the Rus Princes serve as first among equals over the other princes to collect taxes for them. The Ulus Jochi was kind of adverse to living with...

    Nobunaga’s Ambition Realized: Dawn of a New Rising Sun

    I mean you could go with the Amur River War or Amurugawa no Ran. A simple solution could be, assuming Japanese Era names are still roughly OTL somehow there's always the Kanbun War, For Korea, using possibly half-assed math to try and work in a formula for Sextagonal cycle names, you could get...

    Nobunaga’s Ambition Realized: Dawn of a New Rising Sun

    This was in response to a bunch of other people. Russia going all in for what would be the Far East relatively quickly seems odd, to say the least. There's no real reason for Russia to be making plays for the Amur by even the late 1600's, Depending on what was or wasn't done with Russia, they...

    AHC: Best possible fate for Russia and Eastern Europe after Mongol Invasion

    Trying to work off this as an idea in another, If ATL Ivan V doesn't have his father rub off on him, he could certainly be less mercurial. But a democratic system of some kind taking root, might take time? Perhaps Ivan V tries to make a more workable arrangement with the Boyars, the Zemsky Sabor...

    What if Spain was a good colonial overlord?

    Define 'good' because colonialism is terrible and 'good overlords' might as well be oxymorons, the OTL Spanish had to basically contend with the fact of its possessions came what could be best described as rogue expeditionary forces who ended up trying to wrangle entire empires, and requiring a...
