The Risk I Took II


   Meanwhile, the Middle Kingdom has taken over the north, south, and east, and are casting their eyes westward. Their racistly slanted- okay, never mind, we won't go there. Even with the word "racistly" there to prove how racist that is. Also, is "racistly" even a word? My spell check doesn't seem to like it. I'm pretty sure Flight of the Conchords used it once. Anyway, China is trying to take over Europe. Though I'm not entirely sure how they took over India and Russia. Khan? Let's go with that. Okay, so ol' Genghis doesn't die of mysterious circumstances in 1227. He lives, taking the campaign in a completely different direction from how Ogedei would have taken it.

   Ooh, that's good. All the great conquerors were successful in their campaigns in this world. Alexander doesn't die so young and lives to conquer India, which I guess unifies it under Greece enough for Genghis to take it easily when he does his thing; Hannibal, instead of beating Scipio at the Battle of Zama, would preempt that by winning his Italian campaign, which is why the Roman Empire is so weak at the time the story begins; Scipio stays in Africa and turns Carthage into some kind of superpower; and all sorts of things could happen with Caesar I don't even know where to begin.
