What follows is only suggestions.

World History.

Goal : Explain the changes from the Original Timeline so we all have a common baseline.
Part of that challenge is to fit in the player desires. 

Yes, I realize I just might be the only one who cares...

Parthian Goal : Basically, Ancient Parthia's Aracases Dynasty, claiming descent from Cyrus the Great, manages to last to the modern era. Most events in history occurred, but are modified to allow the persistance of the Parthian state, allowing a claim to 2500 years in existance. For example the Muslim and Mongol conquests were partial and Parthia was able to reclaim it's lands.

Iberia : A request has been made for the Muslim conquest and subsequent Reconquista to have occurred. This means we need to allow the Muslims enough power to conquer Spain, which means they have to have areas rich in manpower and treasure to support the capture of the African coastline and the invasion of Visgothic Spain. To implement that, I have Parthia falling, and much of the Byzantine Middle East falling for roughly 1 century. A decade after the Muslim invasion of Spain, Parthia and Byzantine start reclaiming their lands in the East, removing the support for the Muslims in Spain and North Africa. 

Byzantine Goal : Byzantium did not suffer a great territorial loss to the Muslim Caliphate, and did not fall to the Mongols or Turks. Byzantium persists today.  The version I have made has a partial loss of territory for roughly one century, and then the area reconquered. This allows the Muslims time to

Roman Goal : From what I recall Snip said, the Roman Empire did not fall in 476AD, but was diminished, and has recovered much of the Western Empire. I take the temporary split of 260-274AD and make it permanent, seperating the Western and Eastern Roman Empires and then making that permanent on the historical 330AD. This allows the Visgoths to arrived in Spain, so the Muslims could beat them later. I have modified history for greater stability in the 470s, to allow Rome to survive.

I'm not sure how Snip envisions the reconquest of Gaul and then Britain, or how they kept England, but the Norse got Scotland and Ireland.
One idea I've had is to let th Franks & Charlemange occur as historical, and when he comes to Rome to be crowned Emporer, instead he pledges alliance and fealty to the existing Roman Emporer and there is a marriage between his son Louis the Pious and a Roman Princess (who replaces Louis' OTL 2 wives).

The Civil Wars over who inherits what can still occur, and when Louis dies, the western part of Charlemange's realm become part of the Western Roman Empire, while the eastern part under Lothair can become the seeds of Germania. Rome can strip the Northern Italy portion, while the Kingdom of Bavaria and Middle Francia can stay Lothair's. Perhaps with Byzantine help ?

Germania I don't really know what the player wants. So I made it up. See above.

Norse :
Walter's working on this. The Danes did a pretty good job of capturing large areas of the British Islands, so it would not take that much to alter events and simply have them avoid the Romans, but conquer the rest either by force of arms or marriage. Alternately, Scottish/Irish nobility could pledge to the Norse as an ally to resist Roman conquest.


Notable Timeline changes are :
260 AD : Roman Empire splits into Three Empires, the Western or Gallic, the Palmyrene and the Central Empire. 
260 AD : Roman Empire splits into Three Empires, the Western or Gallic, the Palmyrene and the Central Empire. 
260-274 : Roman Central Empire riven by Civil wars. Gothic Invasion floods over Rhine, conquers Gallic Empire and seizes Iberia. Central Empire holds at the Alps, but withdraws troops from the East. Palmyrene Empire occupies the unprotected Anatolia and Byzantium.   ,
274-330 : Palmyrene Empire expands West to protect Roman provinces, over the objections of Rome. 
The Rashidun Caliphate (Muslim) Conquest of 632 is incomplete, leaving Parthia in command of two pieces of Empire- the south shore of the Caspian, and Afghanistan. The rich heartlands fall and provide the manpower and income for the Muslims to fight west to Spain.
330 AD   Peace treaty between Rome and Palmyrene Empires.[/b] Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire declared, with it's Capital in Constantinople.
454      Fearing General Aetius's popularity,  Emperor Valentinian III attempts to stab him, but only wounds. Valentinian is slain, General Aeitus is declared Emperor, his son Gaudentiu (Valentinian's son in law) successor. 
465   Emperor Aeitus dies, son Gaudentiu succedes peacefully.  Roman General Majorican pledges support. Reconquest of Gaul begins.
664-686 AD : Historic Plague in British Isles. Devastate local population, large areas abandoned.
679-690 The Kingdom of Mercia looses the 679 Battle of Trent, with King and Prince slain. Civil war follows, and the Kingdoms of Northumbria, Sussex, Essex, Kent and the Welsh destroy the Kingdom of Mercia.
709, instead of Byzantine loosing Antioch, they are victorious, allowing them to hold upper Mesopotamia and Syria.
In 724, the Parthian dynasty starts it's reconquest with the aid of the Turks and Chinese.
In 740, the Byzantines  decisively defeat the Caliphate at Akroinon, commencing their offensive.
In 740-760 Byzantine  reclaims their lands in the middle east from the Caliphate, conquer Mecca.
In 747-751, the Parthians finish the reconquest of the Iranian Plateau, and the eastern side of the Persian Gulf.

800+  : I haven't gotten there, as that starts getting into the Charlemange question, and I need to work with Walter on the Mongol hordes. I'm thinking that using Charlemange as suggested and keeping the 679 dismemberment of Mercia would allow the Romans to recapture England before the Vikings really started arriving, pushing the Viking efforts up into Scotland and to Ireland and away from the organized Army and Navy of Rome.

Thanks for tackling this. I seem to recall Darman mentioning he wanted the Green nation to be more Sweedish.

QuoteI'm thinking that using Charlemange as suggested and keeping the 679 dismemberment of Mercia would allow the Romans to recapture England before the Vikings really started arriving, pushing the Viking efforts up into Scotland and to Ireland and away from the organized Army and Navy of Rome.

While it is all up to Snip when it comes to the history of Romano Britain, I worked with my stuff under the assumption that the Romans have always been there (whether true Roman presence or rebellious Roman presence). While there is a Battle of Fulford and Battle of Stamford Bridge in my timeline, the locations would be further north than the OTL locations (which would put them in Roman territory) so they are on "modern" Northern Kingdom territory...

... of course the fact that the Romans were still in the southern part of Britain does not mean that the Vikings will not be raiding the South. On the contrary. There is plenty of loot to be plundered in the south. :) Those weakling Roman soldiers are no match of the fearsome Viking warriors and berserkers and the Viking dreaded Longships will run circles around those glorified clunky Roman rowboats. ;D

QuoteAlternately, Scottish/Irish nobility could pledge to the Norse as an ally to resist Roman conquest.

I think that accepting Norse overlordship may be a bit of a sticky point. OTL English overlordship wasn't really something that they wanted to accept. It is one reason why I assumed that the Romans have always been there in the South. The Irish and Scottish might not like it, but the alternative is considered a lot worse. Hadrian's Wall is where Northern freedom and fair justice ends and Roman barbarism and cruelty begins. :)

QuoteI seem to recall Darman mentioning he wanted the Green nation to be more Sweedish.

He mentioned it here...
https://www.navalism.org/index.php/topic,6992.msg89712.html#msg89712

Still anything could have happened to Germania prior to it being gobbled up by the Swedish. Since Darman indicated that the Netherlands territory isn't taken until after the Scanian War, I kinda went Anglo with the Norse prior to the Scanian War and bully the Dutch a bit by changing the Anglo-Dutch wars into Norse-Dutch wars so it is easier for the Swedes to roll over them during the Scanian War. :)

Sweden : That could be resolved by marriage or conquest, I kinda figured if Rome was still established and revitalized, there needed to be a state just East to limit expansion. An easy out is there's no reason that Gustav Adolfus can't focus on the south and conquer/marry Prussia, and take it's place in history.

England : I had missed that part of Snip's intent.  This is complicated by the need to get the Visgoths to Spain for Iberian history to stay roughly the same. Hand waving could say that Roman Britain staggered on and survived independently 410-800 and reunited later when Rome and the Frank unites. Alternately, by weakening Mercia, I made a weaker England. The reappearance of Rome to the South at the beginning of the Viking age could lead to states like Kent asking them to protect them.

Overall, these are just ideas, the playership gets to say how their countries evolve.
I'm just trying to make reasonable adjustments at turning points so much of the history is similar but the results different :)

Something I showed to Kirk... with some additional 1822-1900 stuff he has not seen..

A work in progress using many historical entries from wiki which occasionally is changed to fit the Northern Kingdom (like adding a British Museum-like museum in Edinburgh and calling it the "Northern Museum") or various events taking place in the US or Australia or some other place being moved to a location in the Northern Kingdom (like the Lincoln County War in New Mexico becoming the Longford County War in Ireland). There is some relevant stuff (like various conflicts) and lots of irrelevant stuff in there (like "1774: A revision of the laws of cricket introduces a leg before wicket rule." or "1871 August: Pedlars Act requires pedlars to be licensed.").

Walters' impressive efforts are a suitable explanation for why I'm not touching the Norse Timeline, he's done far more and better than I would:)

I have a much smaller one that is also closer to year by year for Parthia, but my goal here was simply a consolidated Eurasian timeline that focused on the differences to create a common touchstone. I figure the players can decide for themselves the events around those touchstones :)

I had some thoughts regarding the Mongols.


    Mongol Conquest : So it would be nice if when Ghengis offered a treaty, Persia said YES instead of killing his Ambassadors and incurring his Wrath... Original timeline they mashed the Muslim state where Persia used to be, and that's how the the Mongols got to India and Baghdad and everywhere else. So Parthia needs to fall. I'm trying NOT to massively rewrite important bits of European history, obviously we'll loose some like the Norman Conquest.  However in many places our Empires can substitute for the ancient ones, so the Ottoman Siege of Vienna was probably a Byzantine siege of Roman Vienna.... Etc. 
        Historically, the Mongols hunted down and killed the shah and his family.
        Historically, the slaughtered the population in Persia as it had resisted.
        Historically they slaughtered all the men and enslaved the women of resisting cities, and left the non-resisting ones alone.
        I think it would make sense if the Mongols Kill the Parthian Emperor and his sons, drive to the Indus to catch the last one as historical, BUT having "won" and "avenged their ambassadors" accept peace with the surviving Queen (females had historically held the throne when the male line had been killed off), holed up in the SW portion of Parthia, centered on the Zagros mountains and shielded by deserts to the NE.
        This would spur a revision of Parthian military thinking, and the need for the Queen to rally the nobles to unified effort would be the Magna Carta Moment of Parthia.
        Over the next couple centuries Parthia reclaims and expands to the North, eventually in conjunction with the Norse timelines.

I did work with Snip to clear up Rome a bit, he's working on names but what we have is :
Possible Roman Empire
260 AD : Roman Empire splits into Three Empires, the Western or Gallic, the Palmyrene and the Central Empire. 

260-274 : Roman Central Empire riven by Civil wars. Gothic Invasion floods over Rhine, conquers Gallic Empire and seizes Iberia. Central Empire holds at the Alps, but withdraws troops from the East. Palmyrene Empire occupies the unprotected Anatolia and Byzantium.   

270-290 "Saxon Shore Forts constructed along English Channel, Legions withdrawn from Britain.

274-330 : Palmyrene Empire expands West to protect Roman provinces, over the objections of Rome. 
The Rashidun Caliphate (Muslim) Conquest of 632 is incomplete, leaving Parthia in command of two pieces of Empire- the south shore of the Caspian, and Afghanistan. The rich heartlands fall and provide the manpower and income for the Muslims to fight west to Spain.

286  "Britannic Empire" declares independence from Gallic Empire. Admiral Carausus declares Londinium a City State and controls southeast England, relying on the Saxon Shore forts along Kent's southern shore to ward off the Saxons.

330 AD   Peace treaty between Rome and Palmyrene Empires.[/b] Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire declared, with it's Capital in Constantinople.


383-388 Magnus Maximus, controlling West England, revolts and campaigns on continent against barbarians, last Roman troops withdrawn from England..

664-686 AD : Historic Plague in British Isles. Devastate local population, large areas abandoned.

679-690 The City State of Londinium (Kent) defeats the Kingdom of Mercia at the 679 Battle of Trent, with King and Prince slain. Civil war follows, and the Kingdoms of Northumbria, Sussex, Essex, Londinium and the Welsh destroy the Kingdom of Mercia.

800 AD - Charlemange goes to Rome (historical), is Crowned by Roman Emperor as King of Franks, Protector of Rome (instead of Pope making him Emperor of the Romans).
Charlemange's daughter Louise marries the [Roman name 1 ], eldest son of the Roman Emperor. Louise joines Marcus in Rome.

803 AD - [Roman name 2 ], eldest child of Louise and [Roman name 1 ], born.

813 AD - Charlemange names [Roman name 2 ] as heir.  This places [Roman name 2 ] above Louise the Pious's younger twin brother, Lothair.

814 AD - Charlemange dies, Lothair attempts to flaim throne on basis of primogenture.

814-817 AD : Frankish Civil War.  [Roman name 1 ] claims Regency on behalf of [Roman name 2 ], battles Lothair for control. Peace at Aachen sees Lothair recognized as King of East Francia and Bavaria. 

823-829, 832, 837-843 AD : The passing of [Roman name 1 ] leads to [Roman name 2 ] assuming Roman and Frankish thrones. Civil War in the Kingdom of the Frank and with King Lothair of Francia ends in Romulas victorius, with the Treaty of Verdun formalizing divisions and declaring the Kingdom of the Franks part of the Empire of Rome.

836-838 AD : Viking raids along Rhine and lowlands lead Romulas to re-establish a Roman Naval Squadron in Portus Itus.

850 AD : Vikings overwinter on the shore of Kent.

854 AD : Vikings overwinter on island in the Thames, City State of Londinium, unable to repel them, appeals to Rome for protection, and ask Romans to reestablish Naval Protection at Ruitipia. Rome peacefully re-establishes in southeast England.

865-874 AD : Viking Invasion of East Anglica and Northumbria by Great Heathen Army.

875 AD : Alfred the Great of Wessex appeals to Rome for protection. Rome accepts Wessex as a protectarate..  After a crushing victory at the Battle of Edington, Rome reclaims much of England.

Again exilent work from Kirk. I've graced your forum title with a new edition.

I will throw out a little bit on the current Imperial family. This also alludes to what I want to do with Napoleon.

QuoteThe Roman Imperial Family

The Sforza family have sat upon the Imperial Throne for almost 100 years. While their lineage dates back to the mid 1400s, they were considered a lesser player until shortly before the Bonaparte Wars of Rebellion in the 1790s and 1800s. These wars had the effect of wiping out the entrenched Frankish houses that held strong claims to the Imperial throne. The Sfrozas strongly supported the Imperial cause against Bonaparte, but the influence the family gained was not enough on its own. What tipped the scales was a young woman, Adelina Vanna Sforza.

A coutizen of the Emperor Ludovici XIV, she like many others were admired by the Emperor. The Imperial Council, headed by the Emperor's uncle, kept the succession clear by removing any illegitimate children from the equation (This was made more difficult by the lack of any legitimate heirs as Empress Maria never successfully carried a child to term despite numerous attempts). Eventually, Ludovici had his way with Adelina as well. When Adelina discovered she was pregnant, she was able to get word to her father, Duke Antony Sforza.

The Duke, on hearing his only child was at risk of being killed if the father of her child was discovered, gathered a small carded of his personal guards and rushed to Rome. The move was the right one, as days later the Imperial Army was defeated by Bonaparte's forces. The Duke and his men were able to smuggle Adelina out of the city hours before it fell to Bonaparte's forces. Weeks later, Ludovici and his entire extended family were executed by Bonaparte. The executions were barbaric, with the Empress being disemboweled and left to die while Ludovici was blasted apart by a cannon. While this move proved to be Bonaparte's undoing, when the dust settled and the remains of Bonaparte hung from a cross, the surviving royals were at a loss. Anyone with a major legitimate claim had been either killed or was incapable of producing a heir. Not willing to put off the question by opting for one of these options, another civil war seemed to be igniting before the blood had dried from the last one.

Into the hall where people were preparing to go back to war over who would control the throne,  Adelina Sforza stepped in, accompanied by Imperial Guards (in reality there were Duke Antony's men in pilfered uniforms). The room slowly fell silent, as men in these uniforms would only accompany a member of the Imperial family. Clutched tightly to her chest was a cooing baby girl. She told the room, backed by witnesses, that the child was that of Ludovici XIV. The houses, faced with an heir they could all gather behind unanimously proclaimed the child the heir to the Imperial Roman throne. What was settled later was the last name of the child. After much debate, and since her father could not be conclusively proved, it was decided that the previous line should end with Ludovici's death and a new line should begin. In 1819, almost 16 years to the day after the defeat of the Bonaparte Rebellions, Tamara Vittoria Sforza was crowned Empress of the Roman Empire at age 16.

QuoteWalters' impressive efforts are a suitable explanation for why I'm not touching the Norse Timeline, he's done far more and better than I would:)

Well, like I said, it is just a matter digging through events given on wiki, copy/paste them and edit them to fit the Northern Kingdom when necessary.

QuoteThe executions were barbaric, with the Empress being disemboweled and left to die while Ludovici was blasted apart by a cannon.

... uhm... does this say anything about your dark side? Did you watch some disturbing movies like Cannibal Holocaust or so before you wrote that? :o

How truly barbaric those people to the south  are...

QuoteTamara Vittoria Sforza was crowned Empress of the Roman Empire at age 16.

*looks at own list* Funny going for 16... :)

... though history had much younger rulers... like Mary, Queen of Scots who became queen at the age of 6... days...

Again excellent work from Kirk. I've graced your forum title with a new edition.

Heh, thanks !

I rather like history, and learn interesting things trying to put these things together.
One side effect of my Bavarian  War of Nav..2?  was I got to dig into the background of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

That oddly became useful.  My dad's friend Yaseck (sp?)  is his house's Architect, from Venezuela.   We were all at a dinner once,
and Yaseck started talking about his family and the fact he was wearing a signet ring of Prussian Amber, because his family was
expat Polish nobility. I'd say he was astonished anyone present knew the history of that area, and of the partitions of Poland. :)

Well, like I said, it is just a matter digging through events given on wiki, copy/paste them and edit them to fit the Northern Kingdom when necessary.

Ahh, but assembling such a coherent timeline a bit of a task alone, and then to edit the various bits to fit - like Stamford Bridge - it's well done.

The Roman Imperial Family

The Sforza family have sat upon the Imperial Throne for almost 100 years.

It's my intention for the Arsacid bloodline to have continuously ruled (in cases isolated pieces of) Parthia since Arsaces I of the Parni tribe seized the Selucid province of Parthia in 238 BCE.
The Arsacid Dynasty will claim a bloodline to Artaxerese II via his wife Phriapatius, and from there back to Cyrus the Great, founder of the Empire in 530 BCE.... so they are claiming about 2400 years :)

I am using the various conquests as basis for modernization of the Parthian state though :)

Quote... uhm... does this say anything about your dark side? Did you watch some disturbing movies like Cannibal Holocaust or so before you wrote that? :o

How truly barbaric those people to the south  are...

Ya, little dark there. I needed Napoleon to really mess up somehow. The idea I have surrounding the Bonapart Rebellion is that they are in the beginning directed more at the Frankish Royals rather than those in Italy and England. This keeps the full might of the Imperialist side restrained. So while the Frankish houses bleed themselves dry the Italian and English are largely unaffected as they hold resources back at home. Then Napoleon decides he needs to make a play for the whole of Rome, not just whatever he aimed to do once he cleaned out the Frankish nobility. So he makes a play for the symbolic and practical head of the Empire. Rather than keeping the Imperial family locked away and flush with his victories, Napoleon decides it is time not to supplant the Imperial Throne, but to destroy it. In Napoleon's plan, this will cause the masses to rise with him, allowing for the establishment of a new government structure. When the word of this massacre spreads, the Italian and English nobles see the writing on the wall and unchain the full might of the Imperialist side. Napoleon's hoped for grand civil uprising never comes, and he is crushed by the Imperialists within months.

Quote*looks at own list* Funny going for 16... :)

... though history had much younger rulers... like Mary, Queen of Scots who became queen at the age of 6... days...

I've played too much Crusader Kings to let the "Must be of age to not have a Regent" thing slide. Tamara would, of course, be the Empress once she was declared Ludovici XIV's heir. But she would not be the Empress until she was old enough to handle the responsibilities. Until then Duke Antony and company can run things.

QuoteYa, little dark there.

A little? A LITTLE?!? A "little dark" is chopping off their heads with the guillotine like they did historically with Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. What you have is more in line with the execution of William Wallace or the execution of Balthasar Gérard...

QuoteI needed Napoleon to really mess up somehow.

Well, you could have made it less messy and banish him to the north so I have a known person which I could put in control of the Kingdom of Iceland. :)

It would probably depend on when a person is considered to "be of age" which can vary by location I guess.

A partial list of rulers with some gaps here and there still to be filled in...

Numerous people on this list are historical or "historical" (i.e. from sagas) figures though there are exceptions. The line of the House of Hardrada is fictional past Magnus the Blind and with the House of Stewart/Stuart, I used the names given in the list of the Jacobite succession although those coming after Henry I are not the historical persons but rather fictional descendants of Henry I.

With Ireland, the Ridgeways and Pitts were OTL Earls of Londonderry while the Stewarts were OTL Marquesses of Londonderry.

With the various American presidents that I put in the list, I looked around at those who are listed as being of Irish or Scottish descend or whose ancestors came from Northumberland, Tyne and Wear or from Carlisle or further north in Cumbria.
