'''The Sims Medieval''' is a stand-alone game in [[The Sims (series)|The Sims series]]. ''The Sims Medieval'' was released March 22, 2011. The game runs on The Sims 3 engine and is a spin-off similar to the way in which [[The Sims Stories]] games were a spin-off of ''[[The Sims 2]]''.<ref name="announced" /> However, there are notable [[Comparison between The Sims 3 and The Sims Medieval|differences]]; ''The Sims Medieval'' is not simply ''The Sims 3'' translated to a medieval setting. |
|||
<blockquote>The Sims Medieval offers a new way for players to experience The Sims which we hope fans will enjoy, and it features gameplay that fans of strategy and role-playing games will find appealing such as controlling an entire kingdom and quest-based gameplay mechanics.<ref name="press release"/></blockquote> |
|||
==Gameplay== |
|||
===Main gameplay & objectives=== |
|||
The storyline of the game is to build a successful kingdom, by fulfilling the player's "Kingdom Ambition," which the player chooses at the start of the game. Once an ambition has been completed, the play will unlock new ambitions for future playthroughs as well as unlocking freeplay for that specific kingdom. |
|||
The major difference in the gameplay is that the game is quest-driven. With the game stopped, the player has to choose a [[quest]] (quests are required to fulfill said kingdom ambition), and then choose which hero Sim they want to use. |
|||
A player can create [[Hero Sim]]s to control, each one having a profession ([[monarch]], [[knight]], [[merchant]], etc.). |
|||
With the quest and the Hero Sim(s) selected, the game unpauses and the player is able to control the chosen Hero Sim(s) during the quest. When the quest is completed, another quest must be selected and another choice of Hero Sim(s) must be made. During quests other non-controlled Sims (even the Heroes created by the player) live in the kingdom, and will continue their life while the quest is going on., like in the story progression feature in ''The Sims 3''. |
|||
===[[Quests]]=== |
|||
A player's main goal is to complete the quest by following the indicated quest-related actions. However, it is also important to excel at the quest so better rewards are given. How is the Hero Sim doing in the quest can be seen in the [[quest performance]] meter. |
|||
Besides the quest and quest performance, players' Sims have various jobs, and each job has its own duties (called responsibilities) that they will be given to fulfill daily (two per day). Doing so will raise their [[focus]], the game's [[mood]], which has a major involvement in the way the Sim performs many interactions, as well as in the quest performance itself. |
|||
===Other=== |
|||
Some of the actions in the game, including completing quests, give the Hero Sim experience points. After earning some experience points, the hero will level up. Leveling up unlocks profession crafts or actions, imbuing the game with an RPG-style feel. This system of levelling up is similar to the professions in ''Ambitions''. |
|||
In addition to completing quests and doing their job, Hero Sims can also marry and raise a family. A Sim's spouse and children are NPCs (although the player can decide to marry two created Hero Sims). Aging is mostly the same as ''[[The Sims]]''; babies grow into children, but children don't grow any older. Hero Sims can put their children to work gathering resources for them. |
|||
