If your goal was world domination

1500’s...Russia of course

Who are you conquering the native Americans with? Europeans couldn’t do it until the late 1800’s

Mongolia - 1,200's, maybe take over for Genghis.

Horse armies were the strength of the Mongols but they also had enough naval capability to invade Japan twice. Take some good plans for the ships and designs for cannon and good gunpowder and world domination would not be difficult. The Mongols pretty much had that anyway.

Prehistory

Create biological androids that are containers for non-localized consciousness that are preoccupied with copulating and war allowing for:

- Westworld like experiences (for fricking and fighting) by entities wanting to be jacked in
- A planet of organic spare parts
- A planet of biological weapons/ mercenaries

Place limitation on local interstellar travel by allowing a limited, material reductionist, gravity centric model understanding of physics
Place control systems for complete surveillance (the moon, it is glaringly out of place)

Create a PACMan like existence (constantly consuming, chasing arse (Mrs PacMan), and running from demons/ghosts...)

Recreate the experiment cyclically / as needed by wiping the slate clean (think dinos...)

Ubik

When Colin and Stefan drop acid, we get a better look at Colin’s blow-up of the Ubik book cover and we see groovy spray paint is pouring out of a paint can. Ubik is arguably Dick’s most respected and revered novel. In 2009 Timenamed it one of the best 100 novels since 1923, Michel Gondry held the rights to turn it into a film for years and gave up in 2011, and author Jonathan Lethem has a tattoo of the spray can cover on his arm. What is the spray can? It’s a fake sci-fi product, which can reverse certain events, but also might be God leaking into our own world. Basically, if you get sprayed with Ubik, you get linked to something called half-life, in which you start to become aware of other timelines.

An observation:
Spray painting is a very popular activity in a popular alternative reality named Fortnite...
Do you like to re-spawn??? Similar to PACMAN?

Dick's work influenced The Matrix, Total Recall, Bladerunner and many modern works of science "fiction"...



Create electric sheep who learn to love their enslavement...

Surely the easiest would be Great Britain say 5 years pre Americans independance?

I already control 1/3 of the world and the sun never sets on my empire.

Knowing what we know we could crush the revolution, expand out west and kick start a gold rush to fund the empire even further.

Unite the tribes under a single banner. Join or Die. Knowledge of future tech will allow a huge leap in development. Rebuff Spanish invaders. Many Gods under one empire built on blood.

Superior tech gives a smaller army the ability to take on foes outnumbered.

Knowledge of furure events allows them to be used for advantage.

Also will use an infiltration campaign to draw recruits from far off places with the promise of conquest and glory


Oh and the first think i’m Developing are antibiotics and vaccines!

Spain
1500s
They had all the money and should have ruled the world for the next 500 years but invested their wealth in debt and wars instead of infrastructure.

Scandinavia around 850ish. If you could take knowledge with you about gunpowder and firearms (and the manufacturing thereof), then you could likely conquer and unite the entire Scandinavian peninsula before too long. Using gunpowder you could probably also pull off some tricks to make them think you were Thor incarnate. Scandinavia was poor, though, so you’d then have to take the petty kingdoms of British isles, before turning your attention to fractured but still powerful Carolingian kingdoms. The things the Scandinavians possess that would cause me to pick them is their knowledge of shipbuilding and sailing. It would allow you to travel to North America, all over the Mediterranean, and traverse the larger rivers of Europe, Africa, and the near East to strike at your enemies quickly.
