1914 - 1926: The Empress and her Few Desert Cities. 1901 had brought a bleak sort of chill for the Aururians. Now heavily accultured to English values and expectations by the relentless demands of commerce, language, trade, and education in their upper classes, they had also counted on British assi...

1880 - 1914: Camira of the Long Twilight. It was very easy for the Europeans to pronounce the Aururians finished, "kaput", done for. During the Second Franco-Californian War, there was Jacques Berny on the walls of Surat, thrusting the Tricolor into the Ramparts. Admiral Edouard Bouet-Willaumez her...

1848 - 1879: Pangari with Rail and Ironclad. The Empress Pangari is a vividly but un-fondly remembered figure in Aururian history. The Empire mostly lost territory during her reign, with the only gains coming in the consolidation of Polynesia after the terrible and confused Second Franco-California...

1824 - 1848, Part Two: Passing Trains. In 1824 Tathra secured one peace, and cemented a second one. After signing the peace treaty with the French, she turned her attention to the East Indies. There, the Dutch insisted that the settlement of Singapore in Malaysia was illegal and that the British mu...

1790 - 1815: And the Whole World Turned Upside Down. Rumbling up from Paris Streets in quiet collections of thinkers in salons and coffee shops there was a watchword -- revolution -- guiding up toward the overcoming of the ancienne regime, toward the fall of everything known in Europe. In Aururia, ...

1610 - 1640: Struggling into the Modern World. Aururian agriculture responded to increased wetness in the south and somewhat greater dryness in the north. The importation of crops from the Americas proved able to correct many of the deficiencies, and over the subsequent decades the challenges of th...

Before the land bridges sink, the entire...

Given what I've said, would something like Hood work? In terms of showing the armor, or the end belts? It's that row of scuttles underneath the casemates that strikes me as very wrong they weren't on Hood, and I don't believe they were on the 1915 designs either - for a battleship, especially, RN th...

One of the reluctances to raise the casemates (or to adopt the double-level ones) is the upper belt armor. What you have here probably would not be acceptable, with the gap between the upper belt and the lower edge of the casemate allowing shells to burst between them. I'm not sure of it, but I reca...
