Except I know how to make gunpowder, and very, very nice gunpowder. Usially cook up my own nice batch whenever I feel like my musket needs to be used. Only problem I'd have would be making the proper steel for it.
Oh yeah, and somewhere around the mid 1800s. I'm historically inept when it comes before the first world war. I'd probably do what the other guy said, but instead also have a workshop and try making smokeless powder and repeating arms.

prevent the dissolution of the empire at all costs, use newfound political clout after inventing firearms to pursuade an emperor to adopt my philosphy (which would revolve around roman national identity, essentially creating the idea of nationalism way super early)
you can thank me later when Emperor Constantine XLII is coronated in rome today and islam doesnt exist

I have half a chem degree and an engineering degree
gunpowder is actually simple and once you get the materials together you can fuck with the ratios until it has the expected result.
as for the infrastructure they have enough to at least start, I wrote a journal on the history of metallurgy and understand from engineering how you could possibly produce enough to arm most of the important soldiers.
If I came at their height it would actually work just because an emperor is greedy, if I can prove he will be unstoppable via a "magic stick that shoots lead" I'm sure he could be convinced to follow an ideology from the same source.

Live a simple, yet fulfilling life.
Even if shit would happen (war with another tribe, dangerous hunts, etc) life would be 100% better without all the degeneracy and nonsense of modern society (not /pol/ing here, it's just my personal opinion).
Being happy with a decent tribe, family and friends.
Teach them some minor modern facts, tricks and useful skills to make our lives safer, better, more comfortable.
(OR I'd really boost their knowledge to establish a strong nation / empire - the "legacy scenario")
Eventually they'd make me a chieftain or a shaman and we'd all live a short but happy life.

It really depends upon my social status. If it's the same as now, late 19th century Europe or america is the best option. If I'm poor, I'm probably better off going well before that, to war heavy periods where there's a lot of social mobility.

I just found it funny that you were denouncing Alexander, who already conquered all the way into India
>>300671
I'm not saying that he wasn't a good leader, everybody knows that, but his problem was that he literally thought he was half-god and wanted to conquer the world, and the huge empire he left behind was torn apart by power hungry diadochi. Phillip II was a more reasonable man and probably would have kept much less for himself, like I said something like the Asian minor, then left it at that, with an easy peaceful to Alexander when he died there could have been a stable kingdom
