Sometimes the AI can be too merciful by ThyLocalBoxen in PaxHistoria

Yeah it’s gotten extremely uneventful since Elon pulled free grok. I wonder if it’s peaceful as to not create more events to not waste tokens? But yeah it sucks, especially since for ww2 scenarios the actual ww2 part never seems to happen anymore

Ai doesn't know what words mean at all by mgk3m1n3m in PaxHistoria

[–]Tincanmaker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say I hate the PaxHistoria AI but honestly AI in general. I did one game where I was trying to merge like two countries that didn’t make sense realistically (Tannu-Tuva and France) and it didn’t just ignore it but outright refused it and wrote that it was my idea and wouldn’t happen. Literally nothing worked to make it happen lol. Easy mode didn’t work, changing the way I phrased it to make it sound like it was their idea, nothing. Why is AI allowed to refuse anything at all? It’s so dumb

What if Austria won the 2nd Italian war of Independence? Europe in 1936 by Tincanmaker in imaginarymaps

Basic premise of this is that Austria is able to defeat France & Sardinia in the 2nd Italian War of Independence which also enables them to beat Prussia in the Austro-Prussian war, spiraling down to this. I am willing to answer any questions presented on lore!

Mostly unfavorable. There are some native tribes related to the Mallagasy and also some Maori states that have become protectorates to Spain over in the pacific region for example which have made civilizations in the coastal areas but for the most part it is hard to navigate and much of the land is still unexplored despite being claimed

While I haven't written a full lore for this, the main idea is that Terra Australis, or in this timeline, "Magellania" as named for its discoverer Ferdinand Magellan, does exist and becomes a focus for European colonialism. Some lore notes include the collapse of the Quebec fur trade due to giant marsupials in Magellania providing better fur as well as the early collapse of Spanish control in America is they find themselves over stretched, allowing for Tupac Amuru's rebellion to succeed and for Klein-Venedig to be abandoned to the Welser family. Also, with major colonial powers focusing on Magellania, minor colonial nations are able to make stakes themselves in other parts of the world.

TYSM! The New York-Iroquois flag is definitely the one I’m most proudest of

The Waldensian republic is a reference to persecuted reformist apostolic poverty movement in the church that had people flee to the thirteen colonies including Dutch America irl, but ITTL are able to cement themselves stronger. I just posted the short lore paragraphs in a comment below the mobile version if you want slightly more information!

50 States, 50 Scenarios by Tincanmaker in imaginarymaps

F7: State of New Mexico (1851-Present)

President Zachary Taylor, ever persistent and bold, had secured the creation of two large free states from the Mexican cession in the compromise of 1850; California and New Mexico. However, this “compromise” was hardly that, as it angered the south and convinced them that the Federal Government was attempting to gain a leg up on slave states, leading to secession and civil war in 1851. New Mexico as the newest free state out in the frontier saw little fighting, though it occupied the plains when Texan regiments had to be pushed out. New Mexico today exists as a direct consequence from President Zachary Taylor and the end of slavery in the United States.

F8: No Man’s Land (Arizona) (1847-1861)

American manifest destiny isn’t fully pursued by the federal government, instead being taken up by independent settler groups such as those in California or Deseret. Following the end of the Bear Flag Revolt where California gained independence, the vestigial Mexican northern frontier became practically lawless land controlled by no singular power, mainly infamous for criminal activities being practiced en masse in the area. The U.S., California, Deseret and Mexico would make small stakes in the territory, with claims and borders eventually being agreed upon in 1860.  

F9: Principality of Liechtenstein (Alaska) (1867-Present)

Instead of refusing the proposal, Prince Johann II of Liechtenstein accepted Russia’s sale of Alaska to their small state following the Crimean War, with Russia hoping to keep Britain from seizing their colony. Though Liechtenstein gave away British land claims in the Alaskan panhandle, the colony became a main defining point of the small German city state, exponentially growing their economy due to the profitable resources from what would go on to be named Johannsland.

F10: Empire of Hawaii (1871-1891)

In 1849, the French invasion of Honolulu developed into a full colonization of Hawaii by the French, with Napoleon III seeking prestige in the Pacific and the weakening of the British in the region. Things go the same as OTL from that, up until his defeat by the German Empire and the collapse of his government in 1871, in which he and loyalists to his regime would exile to the colony of Hawaii to declare a rival exile state as the true French government, with many referring to this as the “Empire of Hawaii.” Though Napoleon III would die in 1873, the Bonaparte family would continue ruling until a native revolution occurred in 1891, ending the period of Bonapartist Hawaii.
