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...

I'm glad to know this is out, but I always find myself unsure of my own writing. Although it does give me an idea of where and what I want the future of A Storm Over Okehazama to look like. I'm still unsure of the quality, but thanks for doing all of this Gary.

Working out of noble titles sounds kind of bizarre. Era names kind of had their own formats for them, you could try and crib earlier era names if you wanted to.

Okay, names IIRC might be a posthumous thing no you did have one era and one emperor names at this time, but the dynasty name could work, but not as the character for flame but you did have a state of Yan. Can you give us more about this dynasty, like where the revolt it was a part of started...

So what you guys are telling me is that instead of facing down Heinrich-Lee von Nazistein-Richmond in a grand showdown for the heart and soul of AH over bestsellers, we're both basically genre drifters without a home who would probably be meeting each other in the poor house? On a serious note...

The thing with Alternate History as 'genre' is it's pretty loose even down to its very definitions, and even this loose definition could be seen as window dressing for another genre than a true genre in and of itself. If you take Alternate history as anything that deviates from the world as we...

This is a labeled version or at least the Eight Kingdoms are labeled.

I have something of a problem with ‘New AH’, that term alone sounds like we are ceding AH as something that belongs to Neo-Confederates and Neo-Nazis. But if I'm being honest and very blunt I think the solution of just making new Non-American Civil War and non-World War II AH and calling it...

What counts as Legacy here, I had an idea but it would only be three maybe four names long, it would cover a rather small time and most of the leaders are still alive through the relevant time period. The legacy, in this case, would be father-son conflict across three generations. Would that...

Ah, so The Producers approach.

This is my first attempt at a HOS challenge, I hope I haven't messed up anything with the format. Monarchs of the Wars of the Eight Kingdoms 1630-1752 The Empire of the Great Ming or the Eastern Ming (1368-1808) fell into turmoil with the death of the Taicheng Emperor. The reign of young Zhu...

I mean that it wasn't this sudden shocking thing. The U.S was thinking of ways to split the second world as early as 1947, before anything as belligerent as the Berlin blockade had happened, and some had even thought that the CCP and later PRC could be made to 'switch sides' or that the U.S had...

To give the above more context. The premise is, in my TL, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is encouraged to flee to the Ming court (Green) by his brother Yoshiteru as word of the Imagawa marching on the capital spreads. He becomes a valued member of the Ming court under the Zuli Yizhao and his two sons Yuli...

I mean China's break with the USSR wasn't dramatic, but an earlier united Vietnam under Ho Chi Minh would probably be working both sides of the Sino-Soviet Split like Korea did. Mind you an earlier reunification of Vietnam could be essential for easing Sino-Soviet tensions while Mao is still...

Just something I got out of my system to inspire me to go make a HOS list and vignette submission.
