But, going back on topic, I'm out of TW ideas lol, I think we should collect all the ideas in this thread and make a poll. I would be surprised if Antartica:TW made it to the top three.

I believe the general consensus on the 1421 hypothesis (that the Ming dynasty discovered America before Columbus) is that it's nonsense, but the Chinese admiral Zheng He certainly did make some impressive voyages in the Indian Ocean, reaching India, Arabia and East Africa. And even though they didn't reach America, I suspect they could have done, if they'd had any interest in trying to sail east across the Pacific. Anyway, even without the Americas, I think there's still more than enough actual history in the Ming dynasty to make a game.

There was such a poll a while back in the Entrance Hall, I guess we could do with a new one since the last one was before Empire was announced.
