This is obvious that the history of tjis game is not the ours(at least for Norther Italy), so can you write here a brief story so i can use it for write mine? For exemple Lombards ducates of the south(Benevento and Salerno) are not in Regnum Longobardorum and so on. Thanks |

Filo, our cutoff date is 1350. Made up history applies between 1350 and 1452. I will try to post my history soon, though it is mostly similar to the real life Crown of Aragon, except that I've managed to retain a few territories like Corsica and some in Greece that the Crown had lost in real life. |

Lets see. English are being dicks to the welsh, the welsh revolt with Owain Glyndŵr as Prince of Wales. Welsh do really good at first. English gains a small advantage, but the French come and help the welsh. The welsh and the French push back and take over England and Wales. Wales invades Scotland, because they helped the English and betraying a Celtic nation. Welsh/french troops invades Ireland because they betrayed the Welsh also. |

My history. The same as RL. I didn't change any of the nation names from the RL history, so there might be some inconsistencies there. |

My Roman history is EXACTLY the same as RL history up to 1452. |

That would only be possible if interacted with, or were affected by, ZERO of the changes/changed countries that exist in this world from 1350 to 1452. The chances of that are close to zero. You almost certainly were affected in some way, though it may not be a way that would perceivably affect your roleplay. |

More or less, my thoughts are the major events (being the overall decline and conquest of the Roman Empire by the Turk) would hardly be affected by what changes we have made to the history. |

I'm intending to keep Venetian history similar as well. The only change I made was establishing the Order of St. Mark. Of course, interactions with other nations would be diferent as some are different, most notably Filo's Lombards. |

Russia is lucky enough to be removed from the rest of you, so my history can remain the same :D |

Nah. Because the Third Rome, as Russia is popularly known, depends on the fall of the Second one - which lives, quite happily. XD |

Russia could, I suppose, rebel against the Union as in real life, and take that as the fall of the Second Rome. |

A united Russian Empire took a long time to establish in real life. Muscovy wasn't free until 1480 under Ivan III, and it took quite a bit more conquering for the rest of Russia to fall under its sway. So... you're going to have to change history quite a bit for a Russian Empire in 1452 to work. Remember, Russia isn't the Third Rome, Moscow is. :P And no one is going to be a true Third Rome while the Roman Empire still exists! :lol: Of course, I'm sure all parties can come to an agreement on something. EDIT: That said, if you have Ivan III as your current ruling monarch, he was historically married to my Emperor's niece, hence why he was able to claim Muscovy as being the continuation of Rome after my Emperor's death in RL 1453.

I wanted to be the third Rome... Guess I'll have to settle for fourth. Can the second, third, and fourth Rome all exist at the same time? |

Not technically. While the Second Rome is still alive, no one would consider calling a nation a third or fourth Rome. That would just be silly. The "Byzantine Empire" was hailed far and wide as the Roman Empire (Imperium Romanum) until its fall, because indeed it was the Roman Empire. It never truly fell. Also, remember that Constantinople was originally New Rome (Nova Roma), after it was renamed from Byzantium of course.

Technically Russia (as a whole) is the Third Rome, not just the city of Moscow. Strange but true.
According to the rules, there can only be one Rome at a time. But you can surely throw your hat into the mix, especially if you usurp the Roman pope. Edited by Tristan da Cunha, Oct 26 2009, 08:29 PM.

So for Venice to be the third Rome, I have to destroy Constantinople/Nova Roma and prevent Moscow from rising. :gnarkgnark: I'll return the title of Rome to the Italians! |

And Rome itself would still technically be the First Rome. TC, I must respectfully disagree. We are both right, but it started with Moscow being styled the Third Rome. Moscow is the Third Rome in respect to the city. Russia is the Third Rome in respect to the empire. But without a city to be the Third Rome, the empire cannot be the Third Rome. |

I disagree with the claim that Russia cannot be the Third Rome if there is no specific Russian city to be the Third Rome. Imo that argument would parallel the position of the Judaizers who claimed Christianity cannot exist without the Herodian Temple. |

From the same page. Again, I suppose we do talk of two different concepts. I do agree that Russia is the Third Rome as an empire, but I still say Moscow is the Third Rome as a city, and that it was the Third Rome first, for it was it and its holdings that were first the Third Rome, not the whole of Russia. But this is a silly argument. We are arguing on tiny details of something we more or less agree upon. That said, the root of the argument stands. No more Romes till the Second Rome falls. And this will likely not happen... this time. |

Actually, at the time the Byzantines had very ships of their own, relying on Venice for a navy. They sacked it once, they can do it again! |

You know what they say about heresies and iotas. The details are what matter. The pertinent sentence from that article immediately following your passage is: "At the beginning, the notion of 'Third Rome' was not necessarily imperial in nature, but rather apocalyptic." The city of Moscow is not in any way analogous to the cities of Rome or New Rome in terms of splendor and greatness, which even Russians would acknowledge. The transmigration from Second Rome to Third Rome was of a different metaphysical quality than the transmigration from Old Rome to New Rome, so the process did not involve a Rome-like "caput mundi" city.
