  1. As Befits A King

    Okay everybody, it's been about a month, but it's ready to go live, in case you've been following my planning thread. So here it is, Chapter 1. (By the way, I'm open to suggestions about the name of this TL and Chapter Titles) Feel free to discuss here as well. I encourage discussion, that's...

  2. As Befits a King - The Brainstorm

    So, I've got a new timeline cooking up, and it's a concept that has interested me for a very long time, and that concept is the survival of Alexander the Great. He was 32 at the time of his OTL death, and I'm assuming he lives 30 more years. Difficult, given what Alexander put his own body...

  3. An Alternate Fate for the Great Subcontinent?

    I have begun getting very, very interested in Indian history (and Eastern history in general), and have as such began pondering PoDs concerning those regions. The most intriguing example to me is the idea that the Muslim invaders who established their great Sultanates from the mouth of the...

  4. A Little Help...

    Not too sure where to put this. If any of you have noticed, I have taken a bit of a break from These Hills Sing of Saxon Kings, but I have the itch to really finish it off. But there is one question bothering me. It involves Africa. This is a question concerning OTL, and exactly how the...

  5. Alternative End to the British Empire?

    As we all know, the British Empire essentially withered and died. Today it's final vesitges are in the Commonwealth of Nations. But did it really have to end up like that? Might the idea of Imperial Federation gained more support? Basically, my challenge to you is to find some way to...

  6. The Survival of the BEIC

    What would be the ramifications for the continued survival of the BEIC (British East India Company)? How would it affect India, and the whole Empire?

  7. The Holy Roman Empire, and German Nationalism

    So, presume that for some reason (let's presume no Napoleonic Conquest. Use whatever PoD you like) the Holy Roman Empire lives on. How would the Holy Roman Empire have proceeded to develop, and would it have hindered or helped the formation of a unified state?

  8. AH Challenge: Largest possible monastic state

    Self explanatory. It doesn't matter how long it lasts or when it comes about, but how can we get the largest possible monastic state? (IIRC, that honor goes to the Teutonic Knights IOTL)

  9. The Coronation of the Hun

    At the behest of Nek, here is the TL. There are slight inconsistencies, but all in all I think it's polished and Subforum worthy. I hope you enjoy. :) Discussion thread here. ~~~~~~~~~~ 450 AD - Honoria’s relationship with a chamber servant is discovered by her brother and Emperor of...

  10. These Hills Sing of Saxon Kings

    Hello one and all! It's time for another TL, I suppose. :eek: Here is, as promised, the first update. I hope you enjoy. :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1066-1166 1066 AD - Harold II is crowned King of England in this year, claiming that Edward the Confessor had left the...

  11. These Hills Sing of Saxon Kings - Or, The Planning Thread for My Other Next TL

    I'm taking on two TL's at once! Why, you ask? Quite simply because I am accustomed to c. 2000 year detailed TLs, and starting at 1242 just won't satisfy that... itch. ;) I have the most basic ideas fleshed-out. William is utterly defeated at Hastings, and he is forced to remain content with...

  12. That Glorious Darkness - Or, The Planning Thread for My Next TL

    I'm taking on two TL's at once! Why, you ask? Quite simply because I am accustomed to c. 2000 year detailed TLs, and starting at 1066 just won't satisfy that... itch. ;) That Glorious Darkness is the name of this one TL that I have been sitting on for the past couple of days. Basically, it's...

  13. The Investiture Controversy

    For those of you who don't know, the Investiture Controversy arose when this guy refused to give up his right to appoint bishops to this guy. Now, is there any way for the investiture controversy to be avoided? The first link goes so far as to suggest that the reason Germany had failed to...

  14. The prodigal son has returned!

    Took a break from the forums (quite a long one, and quite unannounced [I Blame Thande], for which I apologize). But now I'm back, and have MANY ideas bouncing around in my head for another timeline. So, I decided to make a poll. I look forward especially to the opinions of the readers of my...

  15. Thermo's Next Timeline!

    All right, so I'm done with Coronation of the Hun (Expect it in the Writer's Forum by next week). It was fun, but I really want to try my hand at something that would call upon my unique style and yet still be different enough to shake things up. I decided to be a little cliche and go with an...

  16. The Tsar of All Slavs!

    If anybody here is a Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun player, then they know that one of the COOLEST things you can do in the game is play as Russia and get the "Tsar of All Slavs" event. For those of you who don't know, it is an event whereby if you, as Russia, entirely overrun the Ottoman...

  17. The One-Stop Shop For Geologic AH

    http://www.worlddreambank.org/T/TILT.HTM I find this site simply AMAZING! I've been spending the past hour reading through the various scenarios. :eek:

  18. The Glorious Revolution...

    Would the French Revolution have occured if the American Revolution had never occurred, or was otherwise put down within a few years? What about the various Latin American Revolutions? If the American Revolution hadn't occured, would they have occured? Or if the French Revolution hadn't...

  19. The Survival of Megas Alexandros

    I know, it's overdone, but this is yet another Alexander the Great thread. Those who are nauseated, feel free to turn back now. ;) Now, what makes this different from other ATG threads is that I wish to focus more on the LONG term effects, rather than the short-term effects. For example...

  20. Best Way to Avoid A World War?

    Self-explanatory. What PoD would have a 20th Century Without Tears? What would need to happen to avoid both WWI and subsequently WWII.
