If you could change one outcome in history...

[2Bad]

If you want to move the field to diplomacy, then I'd like to see the results of a more aggressive Louis-Philippe.

He gets deposed faster.

[SeiKeo]

Which ones in particular, hm?

Much of Germany, Russia, and Poland.

[Strife ❤️]

I want nice buildings that didn't survive to survive, everything else can go duck itself.

I would also add nice books to that list

Alexandria?

[Polly]

Half the British cities, destroyed through WW2 bombings and, perhaps even more so, the 60s and 70s urban planning.

[Petrikow]

Alexandria?

Baghdad.

Alexandria?

Among others, yes.

There's tons of libraries that were lost to catastrophes and wars. An example close to home is the National Library of Serbia ( destroyed by Luftwaffe in 1941 ), while an example close to this cherish porn forum of ours would be University of Tokyo library which was severely damaged in 1923.

I want the Parthenon to not have been fucking blown to bits by the Venetians ( and damaged even further by the rest )

Which would have been at the same time as the destruction of the Frank Lloyd Wright Imperial Hotel, I believe.

Idk, for all the '30s the possibility of the reeetuuurn of Big France wasn't so out there and there were lots of opportunities like with Egypt.

Not that legitimacy is not generally derived from victory, but the July Monarchy was predicated on monarchy with a light touch, and it was attempts to exorcise more power and authority that brought the edifice crashing down. A Louis-Philippe who aggressively uses his power is a doomed one no matter how you slice it, I feel.

Unless you mean Louis-Philippe's aggression to stand for France as a state rather than his personal role.

I want a single, solitary bit of writing actually FROM Alexander's own hand, or Ptolemy's autobiography, rather than Latins vaguely referencing them centuries later.

I don't care much for Greekstuff.

All the apadanas though.

[2Bad]

Greek stuff is important to the foundations of our civilization

[Snow]

I guess Knossos too.

[2Bad]

Some means of translating Linear A would be nice, even if all that's we can find is actually just transaction records and shit.

[SeiKeo]

;__;

Actually, no, I was super off, that was the annex to the original that was destroyed. The actual FLW survived the quake and was demolished in the 60s

It literally did that because it's in ruins.

[Petrikow]

it would be nice if rome had something left of roman that wasn't just "colosseum, pantheon and a bit of the fora"

For some reason, I feel like asking the various nice germanics to not destroy the city 5 times over during the 5-6th century would not do much to stop them.

The Arab invasion of Persia is one of the few historical things I'm legitimately butthurt about.
