America has been ravaged by three consecutive, world-ending disasters which reduce many of the cities to rubble or hills filled with ruins of the Old World. People survived in the hills, but their efforts to recover were hampered by plague, volcanic and tectonic cataclysms, and the leftovers of atomic war. Today, the survivors of the old United States have managed to recover... and have reached the equivalent of Medieval technology!
Knights roam the plains in place of Cowboys. The Minnesota Vikings are actual Raiders on the Great Lakes. The stories of the Founders, forgotten and twisted over time, have developed into a cult venerating the left-over relics of the past.
Low-Fantasy, Conan-esque, medieval setting based in America.
fairly sure that there is a crusader kings 2 mod for something like that
Wyatt White
Yes, it does, it's called After the End.
Bentley Kelly
Better idea; in the future the NFL becomes the most profitable entity on the planet. At the onset of the nuclear apocalypse, all NFL stadiums and business centers are protected by private missile-defense systems, resulting in them being the only remaining buildings following the apocalypse.
100 years later, budding society is a collection of warring city-states idolizing their mythical heroes of old and go into battle adorned in full football gear; the only production technology to survive the apocalypse.
Samuel Cooper
This sounds like a rip-off of Horselords
Gabriel Diaz
What's Horselords?
Eli Rodriguez
What submod are you using that the Americanists aren't wearing silly wigs?

Thomas Howard
Between the time when the oceans drank Nu'orlins, and the rise of the sons of Obama, there was an age undreamed of.
And unto this- AHNULD- destined to bear the jeweled crown of California underneath his troubled brow..
Gabriel Thompson
Wouldn't it be "upon" his troubled brow?
Otherwise, fantastic.

>the east coast is a shit show of petty kingdoms oppssesed with the founders of old mercia >the west coast is the clifornian empire fighting against the barbaric mountain clans of the rockys
Had this. What happens when Yellowstone erupts, but it went retarded with retarded levels of state wankary.
Austin Carter
>America has been ravaged by three consecutive, world-ending disasters America, literally the whole world
Julian Brown
I think it's safe to assume that after said disasters, America IS the whole world to the surviving Americans. Certainly the only part of it they'll ever see.
Jose Perez
>implying anywhere else could survive 3 apocalypses
lol @ u
I bet you're brown-skinned.
Juan Wood
>Knights in place of Cowboys >Vikings on the Great Lakes >Prince Henry recreating the British Commonwealth
It's been done
Levi Watson
I thought the general consensus was that apocalypses and accompanying societal are worse for advanced civilizations what do stuff like division of labor and use technology instead of all being subsistence farmers. The world ending seems a lot worse for New York than some goat herder in Afghanistan.
Carson Robinson
I think it would be way worse for developing countries rather than places like the US. In wealthy advanced countries, sure people in the hives are fucked, but people in the smaller communities are probably fine and they also typically have people who have "hobbies" that are great for this kind of shit. People in rural communities might have blacksmiths and farriers and bowyers and there's SCA and similar societies all over the place. People in the hills of Afghanistan or the African bush people probably wouldn't notice or care that the world is ending, but people in developing nations like India or China or Nigeria would be fucked.

>People are too retard to know how black powder works >Still preserve knowledge of football memes and presidents Setting is shit.
William Johnson
agreed
Jordan Garcia
I think you mean setting is realistic
Colton Rivera
It honestly goes take a lot. A single surviving chemistry text book should get you pretty far.
You could add a fantasy element of you want an excuse. Like gunpowder doesn't work any more because fairies.
Joseph Green
not much different to now, really, given how bad the average American's grasp of geography, geopolitics, and history is.
If anywhere were to grasp onto the idea of a flat earth and run with it, it would be the middle America states...
Levi Richardson
>Europoor education
Charles Nguyen
But I live in Chicago?
Christian Jenkins
You made this thread three times already.
Jackson Cook
What does that have to do with where you were educated?
