A resounding YES from the medieval history graduate over here. :grin:
You make a good point here. It would be fun to have an entire spin-off devoted to fantasy gameplay while still incorporating traditional Sims gameplay.
I would love to see this. It would make a great concept for expansion packs to a separate Sims title, even if they couldn't fit all the different worlds in one game. It would be like a World Adventures pack but with a historical setting. :smiley: Other parts of the world than Europe are seriously under-represented in historical fiction and fantasy!
Medievalists are paying increasing attention to video games as a medium for disseminating information about the Middle Ages to the public. Some game companies actually hire scholars as historical consultants. I'd love to see a well-researched Sims game in a historical setting. :heart:
Runescape (medieval fantasy MMORPG) just launched a player survey with lots of questions about whether fans would be interested in a Runescape spin-off. They asked me to say which games and genres I'd like to see a Runescape spin-off model themselves on, and I answered Sims every time. :wink: If you have a Runescape account (free to make) you can take the survey here.

The game, because EA is a global game manufacturer would also have to accommodate all the medieval worlds of the time, China, India, as well as Europe so might be too big to handle.
