I almost missed the update! Fascinating stuff. I especially like how you take care to illustrate how technology and culture is transferred along the blossomin trade routes! I'm also looking forword to how the prolonged contact between Mesoamerica and the Andean cultures will transform them both...

Amazing timeline! Wayam is seemingly not only able to effectively breed new strains of influenca, but also new strains of radical religious cults... It will be interesting how this new found zealoutry will develop. But there is another thing I'm really interested in: How does the the wayamese...

I was wondering, what the architecture looks like, especially in the ATL Middle East. Does it in any way resemble, what we would consider in OTL as "islamic architecture" with its domes and arches? (Sorry, I'm a noob in regard to architecture, but I really would like to get a feeling how places...

That's why we don't have a Great Kunig anymore ;) As soon as more than two German states band together somehow things get messed up! The south was too hot and dry anyway :p But you're right, the technological prowess of the south and even that of the Gauls overshadowed everything the...

I deem conquering the whole of the mediterreanean as impossible, history is my witness! A unified realm fosters stagnation (see the contemporary slow downfall of the Xin) and diversity administers a competitive and creative environment! Goods and innovations were allowed to flow relatively free...
