The Hohenzollern Chronicles 5: Reborn Phoenix - The Roman Story in New World Order

Since this is an alternate history, I could have an equivalent of him join forces with Mindaugas against Ocuil Acatl and Genghis Khan.

Sounds reasonable. Adding onto this disscussion, I assume "Baybars" would be enslaved by either the Mexica or Mongol armies and then end up in Egypt and become eparch through merchants either freeing him or Siegfried's armies freeing him.

I wonder how something like Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute of Sexology would fare in the Reich?

Makes sense.

It and the Indian counterpart would progress along roughly the same path and are then suppressed by the Angeloi and Rasas.

I assume the hijra and other LGBT/Third Gender groups would be persecuted then. Also I think it would make more sense for an Indian version of Hirschfeld's Institute to emerge in Puradaradasa‘s Pascimabhumi than Dutt/Gandi’s India.

For that matter, I’m assuming the Weimar style election the Rasas gained power in would be retconned given the already authoritarian regime of Dutt.

The two would try their usual tactics of psychological warfare, intimidation, and raw brutality, but they realize their enemy uses the same tactics, which results in an ever escalating cycle of brutality and reprisals that result in large parts of Lithuania, Poland, and western Rus’ being razed to the ground.

Makes me wonder if Han and Julian continued their fight if it would have ended up like this?

Also, while I was looking up the Wikipedia pages for this, I decided to revamp the Reich’s early currency. Most of these names are from long after the 11th century, so I’ll just say Wilhelm introduced them through Friedrich the Great. So here are the denominations:

Pfennig: Basic and only unit of silver currency in the 11th-12th centuries. Starting from the later years of Saint Wilhelmina’s reign, new denominations were introduced to standardize currency values across the Reich. Eventually becomes the “cent” denomination in the 21st century.

Groschen: Silver coin starting in Saint Wilhelmina’s reign as the value of the pfennig was being inflated. Medieval value set at 4-6 pfennige. Modern value set at 10 pfennige. Eventually phased out as a denomination due to decimalization favoring the pfennig and thaler, though the name persists as a nickname for the 10 pfennige coin.

Thaler/Hyperpyron: Initially a gold coin introduced on the suggestion of Alexios Komnenos. Later currency reforms result in the creation of a silver coin, named thaler after its silver coming from the Joachimsthal mine, with its value equal to that of the hyperpyron. Medieval value set at 60-72 groschen. Modern value set at 100 pfennige.

Denominations for 5, 25, and 50 pfennige emerged in the early modern and modern era. The names in my previous post on this subject should still apply.

I know that this is based off of real life currency reforms but I wonder if it was also inspired on the fact that in every Paradox game from CK2 to NWO the currency is called something different and this is a way to have a realistic currency reform but again still reference the games?

I guess. Though something like the institute might not be able to emerge and do what it did with the resources of a colony.

For that matter, I’m assuming the Weimar style election the Rasas gained power in would be retconned given the already authoritarian regime of Dutt.

Probably will.

I think Julian would have hit a limit at some point.

It’s my way of making sense of the “pieces of gold” to “ducats” reform I mentioned in the CK2 to EU4 conversion, since Europe outside of the Byzantine Empire primarily minted silver coins and ducats aren’t a German thing.
