    I was always taught that the two were extremely corrupt and always siphoned government money into their pockets. Which made the two parties and the entire Riksdags government unpopular.

  4. Roman Empire Timeline Cliches To Avoid

    Its the damage bad emperors do and that you can not be a good emperor without succeeding because the Romans viewed virtue very differently then us. Marcus Aurelius stacked the government with loyal men in important decision who will execute ones orders because that's what every government...

  6. Roman Empire Timeline Cliches To Avoid

    The thing with Emperors during the earlier period is that his relationship with the Senate, who he uses to govern the empire and command armies as legates, is very personal. If they cannot trust him to advance their careers and all that goes with it in a safe and orderly manner it causes...

  7. How would the Ottomans and Austria Hungary collapse after WW1 in a Central Powers Victory?

    The food situation isn't going to get better just because a peace is made. It will make it easier to allievate but nothing is guaranteed. Look at the first Brest-Litovsk peace treaty they signed on the 9 Feb 1918. Ukrainian People's Republic was given land and recongizition in the hope of...

  8. How would the Ottomans and Austria Hungary collapse after WW1 in a Central Powers Victory?

    The Austrian part of the Empire was starving by the end of war. The traditional authorities of the Hapsburg Realm, the Army and the Bureaucracy, have been so discredited by this major and battle field failures it would be difficult for them to keep control of the empire no matter what. Their...

  9. How to save the Roman republic?

    The institutions were more suppressed then crippled after Marius and Sulla's civil wars. In fact their recovery after Sulla's death speaks more about a flexible resilience than anything else; for example, the Tribunes power and prominence which Sulla were immediately restored.

  10. How to save the Roman republic?

    The most obvious way the Republic could have survived is if Cato and his followers weren't hellbent on destroying Caesars political career no matter the cost and Caesar hellbent on continuing his political career no matter the cost. One could have easily come up with some type of compromise...

  13. Ides to Ashes: Planning Thread

    If Caesar is to retain his reputation of a merciful man it needs to cultivated at every possibility, especially when it involves Roman citizens. Massilia is the classic destination for political exiles during the Roman Republic. Verres, the governor of Sicily who Cicero sues, is still their...

  14. Ides to Ashes: Planning Thread

    A bit late but I don't think you will mind. 1) If the conspiracy does nothing before Caesar leaves for the East it might just crumble away before Caesar Triumphant becomes the new normal. That means also one or all three have a long time to come to peace with Caesar ruling. If the plot is...

  15. Map Thread XXI

    Sure that could have happened but I decided on a collapse instead to see what a alternative partition of the Ottomans with a active Russia and Germans, a fresh, determined, and expansionist Italy and Greece would look like.

    The recalls cause confusion throughout the entire Ottoman Army. Liman von Sanders was central to its functioning and was responsible for the defense of the straits.

  19. To the Victor, Go the Spoils (Redux): A Plausible Central Powers Victory

    OHL doesn't control in control of the Navy. The High Seas Fleet and it's Admirals might raise steam and leave port but refuse battle due to 'unfavorable circumstances' last minute and turn home before actually engaging the Grand Fleet. The Germans Admirals were never in favor of an surface...

  20. To the Victor, Go the Spoils (Redux): A Plausible Central Powers Victory

    Great to see this back up and running. Hope everything goes better this time around! Why do you use the German Presidential standard in your banner instead of the Kaiser flag or the Imperial Coat of Arms?
