...by first century AD. Germania is fully pacified and used as a meatshield by the Western half against Hun and Goth invasions in the 4th/5th century. Persia is fully pacified and used as a meatshield by the Eastern half against Turk and Arab invasions in the 6th and onward centuries. >Does the Empire survive to present day? >Does it still split into two parts? >What changes?
>>18051391>>Does the Empire survive to present day? No. The empire is so vast that without modern technologies it takes 2-3 months to get news from one part of the empire to the other, preventing efficient bureaucracy and allowing for corruption.>>Does it still split into two parts? It splits into AT LEAST two parts>>What changes?We don't get the kinos such as Justinian's reconquista and the last Sassanian war. There are many more civil wars though.
>Does the Empire survive to present day?No. There is no such thing as a permanent empire. All human civilization is cyclical.>Does it still split into two parts?3, Persia will be its own center of power>What changes?More direct contact with China and India possibly even a war with one of them. A lot more wars with steppeniggers. There will be a Persian Roman empreror at some point. Shapur II the Great arguably the greatest Persian ruler ever might rule Rome instead.Rome the city is even more xboxhueg, possibly 2.5 million people at its peak. This brings its own problems as feeding that many people is going to be extremely difficult with the technology of the time. Possibly leads to earlier innovations in agriculture such as the heavy plow. The city of Alexandria will decline in importance a bit since Rome now has a direct land route to the east. Less stuff needs to be moved by ship. Overall it will be a much wealthier empire. It is going to collapse as all governments eventually do but its impact on the east will be profound. Possibly a faster spread of Christianity.
>>18051391Lol, as if Rome could ever conquer Persia.
>>18052205I wouldn't say its impossible just unlikely. If you can delay the crisis of the 3rd century by 50 years it could happen. Maybe Persia has a particulary nasty plague a couple of years before Trajan takes power and his invasion is even more of a steamroll.
>>18052188>There is no such thing as a permanent empireChina
>>18052915China has collasped, been conquered, and reformed many times in its history. You could make the arguement that the great leap forward and all of the chaos it caused was a societal collapse. It is not an unbroken chain of civilization.
>>18053202Wow, so there was a change in the ruling dynasty a handful of times, wow, such change, much difference, doesn't mean china ceased to exist as a civilisation
>>18053280>doesn't mean china ceased to exist as a civilisationThat was not the original claim, you called them a permanent empire
>>18053280What would you call Italy dumbfuck? The Romans still exist today they just have a different government>Getting conquered by the fucking mongols and nearly exterminated by the Japanese is just a change in ruling dynasty Ok you yellow dog eating retard
>>18053310Holy fuck you're stupid, subhumans like you should not be allowed to read or write
>>18053313I accept your concession chang
>>18053318I'm a different person, just had to reply to your retarded post to let you know that you're scum
>>18053324And you're yellow and gay. Fuck China
>>18053325t. seething jeet kek

>>18051391the borders are overstretched. Romans didnt manage to conquer Caucasia
A continuous Roman state accelerates scientific, architectural, and bureaucratic development. Greek literacy could dominate much of Eurasia.
Heh, trivial.As emperor of Rome in this instance, I would've simply taken exploration ideas (using my superior inborn stats) and colonized much of the shithole regions of the world. With a monopoly on these high trade income regions, I would never run out of money, thus ensuring I won every conflict on my path to world domination.
>Rome survives forever>no technology develops>you are born as a slave>spend your childhood as a sex slave for some gross patrician faggot>now worked to death on his LatifundiaWhy are you faggots so obsessed with that shithole?
>>18053318>I accept your concessionAbout as well as you accept cock in your used ass? Why are all the new niggers speaking like smug redditors
Why is it that Rome had to fall but a place just as large if not larger like China has been able to remain as a country for millenia? Every time a new dynasty came up they'd just say "We're China now" instead of making their own countries.
>>18052188>Less stuff needs to be moved by shipAre you by any chance retarded anon?
>>18054347See>>18053310
>>18054355The Roman shipping routes to jeetland were so big because the Persians cut off access to the Silk Road. Alexandria was there to take advantage. Roman Persia means sailing to jeetland is no longer the only option
>>18053361Proud kiwis here. You’re brown.
>>18054415Whiter than you Mohammed
>>18051391>Rome conquers Germania>within a century, Germanian troops dominate the border>join the first emperor to revolt during Crisis of the Third Century>With the strength of the Germanics, conquer Rome and establish the Frankish Empire ahead of time
>>18051391What you on about Rome never conquered Persia
>>18054347China and its population is so massive that it can absorb conquerors. Even if steppe nomads manage to topple a dynasty and replace the top 0.0001% of the population the vast majority of people are still Chinese, the bureaucracy is still Chinese, the palace harem girls are still Chinese and just a few generations down the line the conquerors have been absorbed. Rome didn't enjoy that kind of demographic supremacy.>Every time a new dynasty came up they'd just say "We're China now" instead of making their own countries.LARPing as the continuation of Rome was a hot thing for like 1,000 years after the fall of the WRE.
