## The idea

Hello and welcome to the AlternateHistoryGames wikia. Any original Map Games/games are allowed here! Please read the rules before contributing to this wiki!

Alternate history or alternative history (British English), sometimes abbreviated as AH, is a genre of fiction consisting of stories in which one or more historical events occur differently from reality. These stories usually contain "what if" scenarios at crucial points in history and present an outcome of events alternative to historical record wikipedia: Alternate\_history.

Map games are a popular phenomenon on many Wiki sites.

These games are a user collaborative alternate history type of game. A starting map, scenario and rules are posted by the game’s creator at the start of the game. The players take turns competing with each other by posting a series of dated alternate historical events beneath the map and making changes to the map when relevant, as they act out their plans on how to run the world and outsmart their rival at military, economy, treaties, political, spots, space tec, exploration plans, etc; (like if they were a real head of state). As time passes the events will making changes to the map and modify the statistical values of the nations.

This wikia was created in response to the new rules on the Althistory.wiki about map games. Here there are almost no rules restricting alternate history type map games.
