  9. Result of / How can France lose the Franco-Prussian war harder?

    Maybe Germany gets a couple of French colonies? I know Bismark wasn't a fan of overseas expansion.

  17. AHC: Most Successful Possible Celts

    Option 1 - unified Brythonic Britain smash the Anglo-Saxons, and later forms massive global empire Option 2 - Gauls/Carthage/someone else absolutely wreck Rome early on, to the point that they can't expand beyond the Italian peninsula
