:cool: I think that without Shrek, DreamWorks would probably be less inclined to move away from the 2D animation style altogether. I still expect a shift towards computer animated 3D styles, but the lack of Shrek would make this a far more gradual transition. Expect more movies like The Road to...

I don't know exactly where I first read about this. However a brief search on the Internet resulted in this article, as well as this and this. I wish I could find more "authoritative" sources, but these seem sufficient. I figured. At any rate, though, there's nothing wrong with speculation on a...

Rome and Carthage would sooner or later come into conflict, especially once Rome could interfere in Carthage's sphere of influence. The latest this could be prevented is for Pyrrhos to decisively win the war named after him, allowing his Epirote kingdom a permanent sphere of influence in Magna...

Funny. Shrek was actually in production at the same time as Prince of Egypt, which is all the more interesting because Shrek was regarded by the studio as the less prestigious project. Apparently, being sent to work on Shrek was almost like being punished! Shrek then surprisingly became much...

Agreed. Hmm... I suppose you would have to guide the scenario to reach the "Super Khmer Chinese Rouge" scenario. Let's have Hua Guofeng attempt the arrest against the Gang of Four and fail. Instead, Madame Mao and her cronies take power and, feeling understandably paranoid, conducts a massive...

The easiest way to achieve this would be that the Maoist Gang of Four (interestingly led by Mao's wife/widow Jiang Qing in OTL) takes power after Mao's death. The Gang of Four would prevent Hua Guofeng's coup and move to sideline Deng Xiaoping, thus preventing the Deng-era reforms from ever...

A bit late to respond, but better late than never, I suppose. Completely agreed! Regarding China, the two scenarios should be considered separatley: 1. the Indo-Hephthalite scenario: Frankly, I still expect much of China to proceed very similarly to OTL, at least until the (alt)Mongol...

This could occur if Central Asia and India are united into a greater cultural sphere. This can be easily acheived if Central Asia and India are united by an empire long enough for the two regions to share the same religious traditions, considering that religion and culture are closely linked and...

Some ideas: AH cartography: Most timelines rarely include maps. Even fewer feature detailed cartogrphy. Cartography is great because this allow the reader to get a better understanding of the scenario and the ATL world simply by looking at a map. Original artwork: Similar to above. But as the...

I'll disregard the fact that a Green Sahara POD would be so early that Carthage's existence would be butterflied. Assuming that the Sahara never became a desert and Carthage develops much the same institutions and history: Carthaginian politics by the time of the Second Punic War appears to...

I think you have to change the early histories of the two republics in order to fundamentally change the attitudes of the two. Carthage: We know that the Greeks and Carthaginians fought numerous wars in OTL primarily on Sicily from the mid-6th century and continuing until Pyrrhos. OTL conflicts...
