I Started this challenge few days ago and I've just finished first round around the Kingdom.
Looks like I have some kind of bad luck because till now 10 girls and only 2 boys were born in my Kingdom. Good thing is the Witch got a girl, so yay for witch lineage :)
I also did few changes in the rules to make the game more suitable for my likes.
- No potions of Youth
- Royals can take jobs athletic, or painter (also entertainer if I allow them to keep a computer in some dungeon)
- Nobles can work as: culinary, secret agent, or business (again some of them need computer :/)
- Merchants can only have part time jobs and sell things they create (they can't paint). I have hard time with this class because I own only base game ans it makes my choices limited. Maybe in future I'll figure something out.
- Peasants live off the land, they fish, grow and gather stuff
The biggest struggle for me is to keep them entertained without computer. Royals and Nobles have musical instrument and radios. Merchants have books. But still both Merchants and Peasant take most of their fun from good old Woo Hoo :D
More news about my Kingdom as it develops ^^
@SztormciaSim That is fantastic! I am so glad you're having fun. This was an extremely popular challenge back in the day and I still love it. I'm not keen on the Potion of Youth either but someone was quite insistent. TS2 Elixir of Life only took a few days off but the TS4 Potion of Youth can take off an entire life stage. I have now reworded it. Merchants are allowed to paint, so get them painting if you wish! That is a good point about computers as every career requires one. I have now added something about this. I think that the cheapest computer can be placed in an attic, basement, or a somewhat hidden place (perhaps behind a locked door) only if a family member requires it for a career. It can only be used to fulfil career requirements that cannot be fulfilled in any other way, and not for fun. For fun may I also suggest chess, guitar and violin.
