TS4 Medieval Expansion?
Personally, I would love if they introduced a taste of the Medieval to TS4, including a separate world that fits the criteria (older styled houses, dirt/cobblestone paths instead of roads, etc) so that it does not break the immersion of having medieval elements mixed in with the modern worlds.
I had an interesting idea, though. Similar to the way the Political career is run, it would be awesome to give players the ability to raise up a King/Queen. For example:
The future potential ruler could gather support from the unplayed households and as they gain more favor and popularity, their status jumps higher and higher until they become a ruler. Then, as King/Queen, they are given an advisor who comes periodically throughout the week and asks the player questions which the player then has to make a decision and depending on the decision, the ruler's popularity increases/decreases (similar to how, in the Parenthood expansion, a parent's advice for a child may positively affect their manners but decrease their emotional control).
Being a King/Queen would most likely replace the need for a job as running a kingdom is surely a job in its own ;) But to still get income, the decisions the ruler makes each day impacts the kingdom in a positive or negative way, thus, it could also affect the amount of money the ruler gets in order to rule the kingdom and support the castle (aka you and your family)
To me, with the upcoming release of Get Famous, with the inclusion ofbodyguards (maybe it's bouncers, I've heard mixed opinions lol), this opens the door to allowing a lot of potential for a Medieval expansion pack, too. Like you could establish knights around the castle that keep out pesky "fans" or people trying to take over the kingdom by force. Plus the knights could be NPCs so that you don't have to worry about knights taking up a slot out of the "8 members only" household.
Those are some of the ideas I have so far :) Of course, if Maxis ever did make a Medieval pack, it may or may not be similar to this, who knows.
Anyone else interested in a potential Medieval pack? And do you have any ideas you'd love to see included in the pack?
