IH Ideas

Hey All,

I got some ideas for some new IH's.

How about we do a IH in the late 1400's or do another IH in the 1500/Early 1600's again?

Anyone be up for the challage?

Where? Europe or America or Asia?

Reformation might be intersting, esp. in the HRE!

Europe.

In Late 1400's, we got the France and HRE disputes in Italy (with the Swiss at their peak

) and in the 1500's, we got the reformation

.

What about Three Kingdoms IH? That would be truly awesome.

There is already one here, nobody has ever taken over since. I would, but I'm not experienced enough to become an IH host.

The IH would have to take place further ahead, when there weren't so many warlords. Like, after Chi Bi, when Liu Bei took control of Jing Bei. You'd have Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Gongsun Du, Cao Cao, Zhang Lu, Ma Teng/Chao, the four Jing Nan warlords, and Liu Zhang. The four Jing Nan warlords could be RP'd by the host, making it exactly 7 players being able to play. The host could also RP Gongsun Du, narrowing it down to 6. Perfect for a IH. :)

To be honest I'd recommend something self-contained with a good chance for conclusion. Europe in any age is something on a grand scale and there's very little chance for proper conclusion. Internal power struggles on the other hand are something where a conclusion could be in sight. Civil with several parties could be very interesting. A very interesting idea could be the Russian Civil War(1917-1921), due to the involvement of several sides and loose coalitions. Add to that foreign involvements and you might have a potentially very fruitful scenario. That said it would be a very ambitious idea research-wise and add to that the fact that we're dealing with a time far more complicated than 16th century Europe and you have a lot of work on your hands. There's social, political, military and economical factors at play, which could make prediction very hard work.

Another interesting scenario could be the Wars of the Diadochi, due to the fact that uniting the realm of Alexander is something that is realistically attainable.

Maybe a Polish/Austrian War of Sucession or the Polish/Ukrianin War in the 1600's with Poland and the Cossacks and such. It would have a good chance of getting done.

Good Ideas! But only need someone to do it now....
