Just found out about this last night. Looks pretty interesting. What do you think?

Sims Medieval


Q: What are the features of The Sims Medieval?

Built with next-gen Sims tech and features

* A world of Sims filled with stories, adventures, romance, drama and comedy
* Enhanced environment and character graphics, lighting, and gameplay

Rich dramatic medieval setting

* Experience epic stories of the age, full of drama, fantasy, conflict, comedy, romance, and intrigue

Heroes

* Create Hero Sims and build up their skills and send them on epic quests

Quests

* Drive your kingdom’s story - Good or evil, cruel or kind, romantic or warlike

Kingdom Building

* Start with an empty field and build up your kingdom, deciding its ultimate ambition and working to achieve its destiny

Diving in a bit deeper:

* The Sims Medieval offers Achievements to reward you for your skill in reaching your ambitions and completing your Quests.
* The Sims Medieval allows you to play every Hero Sim in your kingdom, not just the Sims in one household.
* There is a magic system, and your wizard will learn a variety of powerful spells.
* There is a crafting system, allowing your blacksmith to forge weapons of varying quality and physician to create cures for a

Variety of ailments.
* There is a diplomatic system, allowing you to negotiate trade and declare war on surrounding kingdom.
* The objects your Sims will interact with range from profession-oriented objects like the Blacksmith's forge and anvil and the

Physician’s operating table to medieval food-preparation objects such as a roasting spit and cook-pot hanging over a fire.
* The buildings are custom-crafted for each profession, from the Monarch’s Great Hall in the castle to the Tavern for the Bard to

The Wizard’s Tower.
* The art style is painterly, with a hand-crafted look to befit the medieval setting.
* And yes, there is fishing.

It's definitely on my wish list but I might have to wait to get it. I know I'll enjoy it because I've enjoyed all the Sims games but I don't think it will stop me from playing the Sims 3 because it's so different.

I finally loaded this up yesterday and played several hours. I'm wondering why I waited now because I really enjoy it. The only thing I don't care for is the weakness trait. What a pita those are. Especially because I picked insomniac for my Jacobian priest. Fortunately there are a lots of pews everywhere so he just takes lots of naps here and there.

I got this not long after it was released with a nice 50% off sale at EA smile
I enjoy it but honestly only played it here and there. It's good when I feel like unwinding I guess...kinda like the Sims games. Don't get me wrong. I love them and own every Sims game that has come out on PC, but I rarely say to myself,' Ooh! Today I'm going to play The Sims!" (or Sims Medieval as the case may be).
So now they have the Pirates pack expansion. Anyone heard of anything else?
