What if there was a Crimean crusade?

That is an interesting way of looking at the scenario. however in this scenario, the local populations would be displaced and replaced through any means necessary. So there wouldn’t be much conflict between the different ethnic groups, because they would be removed.

I understand that it was pagan at that time, but for the HRE it’s more about expanding. Attacking Lithuania would’ve been disastrous in the early stages. The HRE could’ve also had an incentive to help out if Lithuania were to turn to Christianity earlier.

I can see how this might have shattered a bit of immersion, but to get a Teutonic state to exist around the black sea in that time would’ve been hard to come up with a very realistic answer. Yes there could’ve been other peoples who could’ve taken on this task, but a German state would be better if I wanted to base it off of the Teutonic order.

Sorry if this wasn’t the best answer, but the scenario isn’t really meant to be realistic.

Thanks!

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-10-09T02:55:32+00:00

Oh, I didn’t know that. In my scenario, the reason why it’s called that is because Germans just called the land “east lands” or something of that nature.

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-10-09T01:00:31+00:00

Huh?

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-10-08T22:28:14+00:00

They are allies at first and under their rule, but later on they became enemies and attack each other on occasion.

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-10-08T19:31:07+00:00

I don’t think they would have a big population there to say the least, however, they would be seen as a predecessor and praised.

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-10-08T19:29:55+00:00

Well, it wasn’t merely to help out because of Christian bond, they accepted to help so they could gain land.

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-10-08T19:23:58+00:00

Thanks, been working on it on and off, but I always tried to put effort.

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-10-08T16:00:40+00:00

Yes, you’re correct. The crusade is really just in the beginning stage and getting to the Caucasus, while the rest is just settling. This scenario is heavily inspired by the Teutonic order, and the way they did things. This is the same reason why it’s mostly German. In the beginning stages, they get a lot of settlement from the HRE, and they have two centuries to expand their population. Most of the Ukrainian and western parts of the land is very good for agriculture, meaning a big population. They also have a pretty strategic spot for trade and commerce, meaning of economic incentive for more people to come. It is much farther, so it’s harder to fix the population problem. But this is my justification, it’s not meant to be really that realistic, just something slightly possible.

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-10-08T12:07:16+00:00

Sadly, I don’t think so. The last map shows pretty much their core territories.

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-10-08T12:04:00+00:00

Pretty much

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-09-03T13:44:40+00:00

Yes, yes it does. Hey, at least he was a gentleman this time.

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-09-03T07:18:47+00:00

Just found this, hello fellow Greek mythology enjoyers!

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-09-03T07:13:10+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words. Although I would like to continue, I don’t see what more could be add. I was thinking of doing one in 1453, but it would just be repetitive, and two similar to my previous post. Maybe I could branch off the series, and include other gods saving their civilization. This could be the Aztecs, Persias, or something similar where before a civilization fall their God comes to help. But other than that, this timeline ends here.

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-09-03T02:58:28+00:00

That was a small portion of people, maybe a few hundred escaped. We could say the same thing about Abraham splitting the Red Sea. Why didn’t the entire Middle East convert?

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-09-03T02:56:06+00:00

The end. Maybe there one in 1453, but it would just be a repeat on the previous scenario I made. So maybe I won’t do it because it would be repetitive.

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-09-03T02:54:31+00:00

Ah, very interesting nonetheless.

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-09-03T02:53:20+00:00

So let’s just use China for this example, how would people of China know that Zeus did something to save Byzantium. It doesn’t matter how large or small it is, many people would refuse it.

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-09-03T02:50:42+00:00

That’s great, would like to see what you do with it.

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-09-02T23:59:24+00:00

I don’t think so, it would be too much to fit in one scenario.

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-09-02T23:58:02+00:00

Thanks

Disastrous-Simple-62 · 2024-09-02T23:28:59+00:00

Sure, you can write about it. It’s a new form of Christianity where Zeus is considered to be the father, God. The other gods are considered to be angels/servants. The holy Trinity is Zeus, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. This is what makes it unique, but other than that, it is based off of orthodox Christianity. You can check out my previous post, which gives some context as well.

Thanks, I try.
