The PDE universe represents a project that I suspect my sub-conscious has been developing for a rather long time due to how I've always dreamt of a world without the triple-threat (Christiniaty, Islam, Judaism) that seems to have crippled and still is crippling basic human progress. Having put the Revne Timeline on the backburner for a while, I find I am truly enjoying the Prolix Degero Europae Timeline project, and with help from Arminius1871 on this (he seems to be enjoying this as much as I am), a world is being created, one where the Roman Empire never fell due to Julius Caesar having never been assassinated, Octavian inherited a jingoistic empire that can't even gain a degree of comparison with anything we know of today. Rome is still slave-trading and doing many of the foul things it did in our timeline, but in an era of accelerated technological progression due to a lack of christendom hindering european progression. The Germania Konigsrik represents an ideal that I and many others wish and still hope and in fact will work towards, a re-unification and cultural unity between the distant sons and daughters of the Germanic tribal-folk. In general, if you have a major in classical history, or are fascinated with Homeric or Hellenic literature with a touch of "The Drummer Hodge" and Farley Mowats "The Regiment"  check it out. I suspect Arminius will have some fine contributions coming along further down the line.

For sure I will help you Kamerad, today or tomorrow, I can send you the first Beta Version of the map, and then you can tell me what to change and add. I´m sure we should also add more city names and also some ideas of how the society, architecture and culture is like.

Sounds like a plan.

I will admit that Christianity and Islam are a huge part of the reason that the world advanced as slowly as it did from the Fall of Rome until after the Renaissance but at the same time The Bible was the first book introduced to many fledgling civilizations and was and is the reason why many languages have written words . (though it is also responsible for the cluster-fuck which is Cyrillic.) and Islam played a huge part in preserving the Greek and Roman scrolls and books that would have set humanity back hundreds of years after the The Fall of Rome and the Eastern Roman Empire. (the second of which was more or less caused by greed and easily manipulated disillusioned crusaders returning from the Fourth(?) Crusade.) I'd be kind of interested in this alternate history as a world without the dark ages is something that i would love to see for myself.
