Sullla has posted the latest set of alternate histories for the ongoing season, this time completed by TheOneAndOnlyAtesh for opening Game 3! The real game saw an unexpected (to most aside from @Plains-Cow, that is) strong performance by Sitting Bull, who took on and knocked out both Huayna Capac and Hannibal en route to an unusual cultural victory, while Frederick took care of Shaka in the north to glide into second place. But was this "supposed" to happen?

Short version: For the third time so far this season, the high peaceweights' success was proven to be an unusual result. Fred and Sitting Bull were two of the lesser leaders in this game, frequently getting ganged up on and unable to handle the heat in the same way they did in the real game; they weren't total cannon fodder but they weren't that strong. Instead, it was Huayna Capac and Willem van Oranje who were the main contenders on this map, rarely fighting early in the same way that they did in the actual game. Shaka's promising start that had a bunch of us believing in him for this game also turned out to be largely a dud.
