User talk:Emperor of Trebizond



Kalos Ērthate
I noticed that you seem to be an East-Romanophile. Due to me being a Diaspora-Greek and everything I am as well. Perhaps, in the future, you might like to team up for a TL that involves a stronger Byzantium, or at least a Greece that isn't conquered by someone else? I think we'll get along famously, you and I. Also, where did you find such a nice picture of the Fall? I haven't found too many good pictures of the weapons and armour of Rome's later years, which is such a shame. By the way, would you happen to speak Greek? If you do and would like to converse, I'd be quite happy, but my Greek is terrible, so it might take a while for me to respond back ;)

A Divided Caliphate
Hello! I'd like to invite you to a TL in which the Muslim Caliphate breaks apart. If you're interested, contact me!

Thanks, Fedelede 00:15, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

I'm glad to have you interested. Yes, that happened on OTL. But on this TL, the caliphate breaks apart either on 661 or 750, when most of the population was not Muslim, and therefore, the people of different religions claimed independence. I thought you would be interested because I think the Byzantine Empire would get a hold on parts of Syria, all of Anatolia, and Armenia.

Re:Western Roman Glory
Sorry if wiki convention is to reply on the same page, but just in case, I thought I would respond here to your inquiry on my talk page.

While you can do articles on Earlier Emperors, it probably wouldn't fit in very well as the POD is essentially tied to an event after Romulus was already on the throne (the barbarian invasion that Romulus manages to convert to his own uses, which, in OTL, was the actual end of the Western Empire). Now, that said, If you would like to write about the Eastern Empire in this timeline, that would be perfectly fine. While I am flexible on where this ultimately leads, the basic notion is that in the years after Romulus (which were in OTL the Dark Ages in Western Europe), the culture of the Roman Empire begins to revive (since it had gone through stagnation prior to the POD in OTL, especially in the west) itself and, in the place of a middle ages, a new classical age begins as the east begins to expand deeper and deeper into Asia, while new divisions are made (making a "Northern Roman Empire" which goes into Russia and Scandinavia, and a Southern Empire covering southern Africa and eventually Oceania), eventually leading to a Renaissance (if a more advanced one than OTL due to the lasting power of the Empire(s) in the world), during which the Western Empire primarily takes on the Americas. Anyhow, the point (if not in detail) that I've basically thought this would go to is (though reaching said point in the time-line is a distant notion as I am hoping to make it highly detailed every step of the way) that the World is eventually united under Roman Banners and is, by the 21st century, already in the process of Space Colonization. By that point the world would be, beyond being under roman Banners, near unrecognizable and heavily urbanized and such.--Anaba &#39;Eesoree 23:45, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Mercenaries
There are several that could use them for parts of their armies, but the same nations need to be watchful of Turkey, so they wouldn't hire them. Most of the others need weapons, not more soldiers.

Kalmykia or Dagestan would work though. Dagestan is having trouble with Islamic terrorist-like types, and Kalmykia could use them to protect Buddhist pilgrimages to Tibet and back, when they do occur. Kalmykia would be more likely, I think.

Map Game
Stop deleting what i write

Seeing as this is an alternate history site none of this is real and so there is nothing to say that the Sassanid empire and persia are 2 seperate countries

the intire game is an inacuracy, like sugesting that the unification of Italy was in the 18th century when it was 1815 to 1861, why not delete any other post?

Life in the duchy of lacaster
I spoke to Tessitore about your plans and she was mad with me thanks I have enough trouble here and can i say something else I find it rude and presumptions that you are making decisions for articles YOU did not create --Owen1983 15:45, September 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Owen, I was not mad at you, just mildly peeved that you'd a) written an article to do with my nation without asking and b) did a half-assed job of it. I would still have had words with you about the article even if the issue of merging hadn't come up. In future if you have any ideas regarding Lancaster, ask me about them on the talkpage before you do anything else. Tessitore 16:49, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Emperor Demetrius
Emperor of Trebizond, I have to say that's one of the most brilliant ideas regarding the Empire I've ever heard, and the fact that the Sultan chose Constantine over Demetrius is something I didn't know about! I would love to help you in your TL, and you have my full support! However, my studies, competitive rowing, and cantorship do (unfortunately) take presidence over AH, so until about October 30th I won't be too active, but please do not wait for me-this is too good an idea to hold back!
 * Also, my Dutch friend and I had an idea of the Crown of Aragon inheiriting the Burgundian Netherlands due to Mary of Burgundy marrying Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella of Castille marying John II(?) of Portugal. The Netherlands would be made into either their own seperate kingdom of duchy with them being given the autonomy they so greatly wanted as long as they recognize the kings of Aragon as their head (each member-state of the Crown of Aragon was basically its own seperate kingdom and they all worked together). I wanted to include a stronger East Rome in it, and I was wondering if you'd perhaps like to combine TL's-my Dutch friend and I would work out the details in the west, and you and I in the east. My friend enjoys Greece and Byzantium, so he might like to pitch some ideas, too. We were planning on Aragon going Protestant, so perhaps a Protestant Aragon would seek to ally itself with the Byzantine Empire to build it up as an enemy of W. Roman Catholic Rome-or better yet, Byzantium could play the Protestant Aragon off the other Catholic powers and reap the benefits at each trying to sway East Rome into an alliance. Plus, Aragon allying with East Rome could present the Crown with a Causus-Belli for getting Ottoman North Africa-should the Ottomans ever declare war on Rome, the Aragonese can sweep into the Barbary and the Levant and should the two Christian powers win, the Aragonese can take some land. Should you decline, that's quite alright, too-but either way I'd still love to help you!

EoT, do you think that Eastern Rome could survive to the present day? I was thinking that all the lands that the Venetians gained and subsequently lost (my Grandmother's home island of Euboea, Attiki, the Peloponneso/Mystra, Cyprus, and various islands in the Aegean and Dodecanese), and of course the land the Empire held in 1452. Perhaps the various small states and despotates, too. Now of course I don't think we East Romans ) could push the Ottomans out of all of the Balkans and Western Anatolia-too many people who cry wank no matter how much it makes sense and is realistic; by I do think that at least they can free roughly all Greek-speaking lands and maybe a free Serbia can secede from the Ottomans, too. I'll be making an outline of the AH as a whole either tonight or tomorrow; it's 9:33 here and I have to be up at 4. Perhaps also Aragon and whoever else aides Greece would influence East Rome to organize on more Western-regions; perhaps a despot in each area of the Empire, or perhaps ressurect the themata or go even farther and use the term "provinces" for their subdivisions like Rome did? Wow, all of this cultural diffusion is exciting! (Chico and I also plan on having Aragonese-settlers moving to the Netherlands and Dutch soldiers during some war come down to defend Aragon proper and just settle in Iberia, giving Aragon-proper more Dutch/Germanic face to it.)I'm so excited to have you on, Constantine Mr.Xeight 02:34, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

Europe 1430
Hi, I wrote because this is not 1945, its 1807 so countries annexed big parts of other countries so I don't understand why you deleted the think about Jordan and Tabuk, Damascus need a Red Sea port. VENEZUELA 18:01, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

And you took Damascus territoty and gave it to Byzantine. VENEZUELA 18:04, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

With what project? Caliph breaks apart or colonization:1452? Both answers are yes. Fedelede 21:35, October 5, 2010 (UTC)
