Historical Misadventures, Served Two Ways

This is an interesting point of view, most explorations of alternative history tend to look at what-if scenarios like what if the Confederacy had won the Battle of Gettysburg, Hitler had won WW2 or what if Alexander the Great had lived to invade Italy but you've taken a much more back to basics approach which is interesting.

There are many interesting theories on this subject, one of the best I've read is that the random allocation of resources and terrain directly led to civilization's histories while others emphasise the importance of the actions of the individual in determining the fates of countless. You seem to have gone with the latter approach.

It might be difficult to see how the actions of a single human or a tree might have a really decisive effect on history compared to say famous historical figures but you treat the choices of both in an intelligent and interesting way that makes playing through their lives a fun way to spend five minutes.

The title "Historical Misadventures" seems a bit too jocular for the rather serious story and in my view there seens to be a slightly condescending attitude in places (I wouldn't waste time responding to criticism on the Internet btw, show that you're sensitive to it and you'll just encourage more, your two comments seem oddly like a schitzophrenic argument). Overall pretty good and for a class project, even an over-simplified one as you point out (would your peers and teacher not understand it if you didn't make it simple for them?), it should lead to a good grade. An enjoyable read and an interesting idea that could definitely be expanded on to explore other situations or individuals. :D

Interesting idea, but you might want to expand the different branches more.

not bad 6/8

I enjoyed this. 4/8

5/8

I liked it. Read it.

The "what if" style of gaming is interesting, I think. This concept could be applied to modern times. For example, if the US didn't win world war 2, would we have made it to the moon?

What's with all the dead ends

I liked this. It was very interesting with a very enjoyable and good choices to make. You should consider expanding this and make it a little like Oregon Trail.

good 4 u 2 poop on as well
