    People in our timeline: “The Midwest is insignificant.” People in this timeline: “The Midwestern Horde slaughtered my family and everyone I ever knew.”
  • A Mormon crusader empire based out of Utah fighting horse tribes from Kansas, would be epic.

    As an Appalachian, I 100% agree that y'all ain't gonna be havin' a good time conquering us.
  • @largeegg6505
    “Texan Horde” oh god, in all seriousness there is a mod for crusader kings 2 called “after the end” where an apocalyptic event has reverted the world to the medieval age I the 2600’s.
  • just thinking about the incredible bloodshed between Ohio and Michigan over toledo makes me shiver...
  • So basically the Pacific Northwest would turn into: "Yeah, but have you tried fishing.... on weed?!?!?"
  • @masmustacheo891
    So a Medieval America would basically be Africa, Asia, and Europe all squished onto one continent?

    After the End Fan Fork: "write that down write that down!"
  • @wasssssuppppppp
    America did have its own "American Camel" thousands of years ago, which was likely hunted to extinction by early humans, as well as dozens of other large herbivores(sloths, mammoths, etc.). Maybe in this alternate history they survive?

    Man now I kinda wish my LDS mission had been a crusade into Arizona instead of knocking doors in Quebec for two years. We will reclaim the holy land! On to Missouri my brothers!
  • I can see a pattern compared to the bronce age in the east of the US, Strong Cities, Overpowered mountain people, and the random people from the "badlands" resetting everything every now and then
  • Fun Fact: St. Louis is across the river from the pre-columbian city of Cahokia. The city saw its height between 1000s-1200s which was considered the High Middle Ages.
  • @C4rea
    Definitely want to hear more about New Orleans, Ohio, the Pacific Northwest, and of course… Mongol cowboys.

    You need to make a book that documents the entirety of this world in detail. I’m not saying you have to, but it’s what the world needs
  • @totustuus5279
    I can’t even begin to tell you how badly I want Kansas Horseback Archers to be a thing

    Something about the Aztecs being great warriors despite their latitude is that they were technically imagrants from places like southern Arizona and New Mexico migrating more and more southward as time went on and when they showed up to Central America they found abandoned cities and people like the Mayans whose societies just collapsed so becoming a warrior culture was easy for them as they justified this by saying they inherited the previous cultures work while still being better than them
