So I was thinking that now I have a fresh start, it may be worth looking into making a more Alt-History region than most people are used to, even if it means incorporating some impossible scenarios or even go as far as fantasy elements such as very light magic.
The idea that I am currently going to propose in minor detail is as follows:
An alternate history region where the Americas and Africa remained at a generally higher tech level meaning that European conquest of their continental areas were either very little to near impossible. Considering South and Central America were able to establish actual empires, they would have been able to survive and maintain an independent state. North America would be generally conquered, but with more resistance. For the sake of RP we could say that the American immune system was much greater than it was IRL at the time the Spanish came. Africa would have been able to defend itself in the West, East and North, with the Islamic Empires defending the north while Mali and Ethiopia defended their respective areas. Europeans would have been halted and forced to only go to the South if anywhere at all.
In regards to the "fantasy elements" listed above, I would mean adding in a few new things like the real existence of mythological creatures. Essentially some of the legendary creatures we know today would be a reality in this RP. Light Magic would entail the use of enchantments to make small things possible such as stable and efficient walking machines or even enhanced weapons which would basically shoot fire like a bullet.
This produces a generally more alien and interesting world to work with. While I have not decided a time for certain, I would just like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks.
