C, but specifically Mesopotamia - as the heartland of the Selucids it would have preserved a lot of Greek philosophy, which would have been studied and expanded on when the Caliphate took over, and absent the mongol invasions cities up and down the twin rivers likely serve as banking and finance hubs for the Crown and the silk road trade

C makes the most sense. It is where Carthage began and where Carthage returned, straddling the axis of the world. Nowhere else would truly be plausible. Also I appreciate that more influential than the name of Mago in truth is Elissa, and it all began with a man who was VERY fight horny for the giant woman who beat him in a fight…

Captain Oblivious posted:C makes the most sense. oh yeah, I think later historians would take Mago as almost a mythological figure that might not have even existed - sort of like Dido - while Elissa would be our version of Frederick II or Barbarossa or something

I think the only thing marring the perfection of this history is that Spania could probably use a more Punic name.

B - Little Carthage The fun surprise option would be the Romans/Normans being the Rennaisance center, but having colonized America already. That way the final boss can be Another Rome, its capital being New Rome City. Edit:typo Sparq fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Nov 19, 2023 |

With how interconnected the world is between east and west, having it be along the great trade routes is the most reasonable. This makes E somewhat appropriate, but C also has a connection to Africa which E lacks and thus is even better. C is my choice.

If C ends up winning, I think it'd be interesting if Colonialism started in Asia. If the Elissids are facilitating trade between east and west, then there's not much impetus for the North Africans to start sailing around Africa or to America for luxuries, and the europeans are too backwater in the first place. But perhaps there is something stopping the Chinese from trading west, like some aggressive Filosiric horde or something.

C - It feels thematically the strongest for the narrative of this LP especially given Carthage has had a political resurgence.

So much of Europe is an irrelevant backwater in this timeline that I’m gonna laugh when the Scramble for Europe happens and it’s getting carved up between eastern and north african colonial powers.

I've removed most of the geographic restrictions for institutions, so for example printing press definitely won't be spawning in Germany in this timeline speaking of colonialism though, that could well depend on what we do in EU4 as well - we're obviously not staying put in India for the whole game
