1) Did Timur die during his first military campaign? - No. 2) Did Zabulistan successfully resist the Ghaznavid invasion? - Yes. 3) Did the Mongol invasion of Japan succeed in reaching the island? - No, but maybe the Yuan Dynasty took Hokkaido. 4) Did the megafauna in Australia/New Zealand survive human migration into the continent? - Only in New Zealand. (could be due to a complete lack of humans; the Maori don't show up until about the 1300s CE) 5) Did Sundiata Keita die in exile? No.

Vinland is super cliche in my opinion. Everyone's idea of alternative history for North America is "Vinland survives" or "The Iroqois unite all the tribes in a democratic republic", or both. Anyway, 1) Yes 2) Yes 3) No 4) No (it's a nice idea, but I prefer the idea that history is the same up until the start of the LP) 5) Yes

All this voting is making me think we should improve the process creating parties to represent where we stand on these historical questions. Say, for instance, 5 parties. Each party would decide internally through a system of sponsorship and co-sponsorship a historical question that makes it to a general bill that can be voted yes or no by all the participants in this, let's say for the lack of better word, Senate. For historical questions and matters. This way we would know whom to blame whenever anything happens on our alternate history scenario (it's the populists).

I'm gonna vote No to all 5 - Because hopefully that will make the stupid ideas less likely to pass. Megafauna? What difference does that make in EU3!

It will give whoever holds New Zeeland and/or Australia a single flavor event during Victoria 2 which gives them +5 prestige. That's all it'll do. e; I'm happy that Timur surviving is in the lead. Timur owns. (even though it doesn't make much sense that he shows up after 300 years of alternate history, but whatever.) Kainser fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Aug 20, 2011 |

In the Hohenzollern LP, Otto von Bismarck showed up after 700 years of alt history. Basically, if a historical figure is awesome or interesting enough, then he's immune to the butterfly effect. Kinda like how in every alternate history that leads up to the late 20th century, Nixon always exists and is usually a used car dealer.

Everyone's idea of alternative history for North America is "Vinland survives" or "The Iroqois unite all the tribes in a democratic republic", or both. That's because there isn't much to work with and not go entirely into fantasy land. We can have a native american version of Alexander the Great or Charlemagne who unites America during the CK age and come EU3 the Native American Empire invents large sailing/steam ships, machineguns, inoculation and goes on to colonize Europe in their quest for revenge against the filthy Viking/Andalusian exploderer/invaders  (Do this Wiz)

NihilCredo posted:I voted "Yes" on that question precisely because I was curious about the answer. Eh, not quite. Having some large animals means there's a chance some of them can be domesticated for labor or war, both of which are huge advantages for whoever is around to domesticate them. For example, the Great Plains were never settled by Native American farmers despite knowledge of agriculture existing in the American Southeast and the presence of crops like corn (borrowed from Mexico) which are fairly well suited for the area. One of the main reasons is that there were no animals like horses or oxen to pull plows, so all farmwork was done by hand, which is impossible in the relatively hard topsoils of the Great Plains. Since agriculture is a, if not the, cornerstone of advanced civilizations, not having farm animals is a gigantic drawback that pretty much ensures you'll stay in the stone age.
