    I think so, too, probably low on violence and more like a medieval everyday life "SIMulator" but if they do it right, it could be very interesting to simulate a small kingdom of sorts.

    The press release makes it seem like a fantasy setting.

    Besides, who wants to simulate the drudgery, poor hygiene, and chastity belts of Medieval Europe? It's just Europe, right?


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Well, the sims has always been a pretty pointless game series, if you ask me. Why would I play a game to simulate life? I play games to get away from that.

    Although the sim city/sim town games were fairly fun for awhile, but those are pretty different games.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    True. The first thing I thought about was how 90% of the players would pay a monthly subscription fee to simulate tending fields and how 1/3 of the female characters would die in childbirth.

    I shouldn't laugh but I can imagine the look of dismay in someone's face when their crops fail.

    Who knows, might be somewhat successful. Oregon trail was always pretty fun despite all the constant death.

    'S long as people don't mind getting something like this every so often, they'll be fine.
