Why do people think that Very Bad beer is the beer the Australians drink? Even as a teetotaller, I understand that that beer is absolutely terrible.

You might not like it. I might not like it. But that doesn't stop VB being the best selling beer in the country (which is objectively true).

Springfield seems to be a fairly large city, but there seems to be a shortage of houses and apartments.
 
New map, 555. Alternatively, "before everything goes pear-shaped".

Roman Reconquest are doing well :) that red blob should be finished, then Israel (or equivalent) the Egypt.

then the Trebizond Empire, theyellow stuff that im convinced is Georgia, and Armenia, then try to take on Persia.

if rome cant take on persia, then they can only get to the capital and raze it.
 
That red blob is Fridereiks/Fredericus, comes Orientis, and his pack of Ostrogoths. He's basically a foederatus of the Romans. The bright blue in "Israel" is the Ghassanids, who aren't foederati, but they are strongly allied to Rome. The yellow stuff is Lazike.

Rome's only encounter with the Sasanians was the 551 Battle of Kyrrhestike, where the Roman-Gothic-Ghassanid coalition narrowly defeated the Sasanians and Lakhmids. The Sasanians had plenty more manpower to spend on killing Romans in Syria, but elected to go after the dying corpse of the Hayatila, or Hephthalites, instead. Roman armies reaching Mesopotamia isn't even considered a possibility by either side.

It's clear from reading the actual timeline that I'm writing that this is about the upper bound of what Rome can do. From here on out, I doubt there will be much expansion going.

If there is one thing that is certain about the seventh century it is this: no Islam. Ain't gonna be a Muhammad with a PoD in 468.

then the sasaniads will rule the (then) worthless Arabian peninsula.

and there will be a war the world has never seen before. even Byzantium VS Sasaniad wars will pale in comparasion.
 
Yeah, no.

I like this timeline even better now.

What is the yellow-green blob along the lower Elbe? And the grey areas and the other greenish blob on the eastern bank of Rhine?

Yellow-green is a possibly transitory agglomeration of mostly Saxons with some Lombards and Heruli.

Other greenish blob is actually the Baiawarioz, of all places for them to end up. We'll see if they stay there.

Light gray in northern Gaul is the Thuringii, currently kind of messy politically, but nominally under the rule of the overking Badereiks/Badericus. They just kinda got 'pushed' there by the Bavarian migration, which in turn was stimulated by the Avars (on the Pannonian plain atm).

Darker gray areas are bacaudae or other local authorities (e.g. in Africa, denotes minor Mauri rulers; in Britain, I elected not to depict the utterly confusing sub-Roman political scene).
