Hello everyone! I'm here with a "new" challenge for all of you to try and enjoy... but first, I need play testers and feedback!
This challenge began as an amalgamation of BaCC (Build a City), ToT (Test of Time) and the most basic Legacy challenges because I tend to mash them up in my gameplay anyway. Then, while playing CIV VI, I began noticing things that I could make my sims do as well, and the idea snowballed from there. So, here we are:
THE SIMS 4 CIVILIZATIONS CHALLENGE
Your goal is to advance through the ages of human civilization and build a flourishing kingdom or several. That's basically it. If you want to treat it as a legacy challenge as well, you can have one main family and have them become the rulers of your world. This challenge is still very much a WIP and I've tried keeping the rules as flexible and accessible as possible, so that everyone can enjoy it in their own preferred way without it being too easy nor too difficult. Prepare for it to be LONG, though.
Here's a link to the spreadsheet (WIP) with rules!
...and here's a link to the (very messy) graphic that I use to help organize my thoughts and combine tech/civic trees from different iterations of CIV because I've fallen into a bottomless rabbithole (in case you care about stuff like this).
A HUGE THANK YOU to ts4-bacc (Purzel and DaisyDezem) for their original BaCC rules which I heavily relied on. I hope they don't mind me borrowing their challenge template and tweaking it. HannahCanada also deserves big thanks for their TS3 BaCC ruleset which I also used as inspiration. Go give these wonderful, creative people some love. Really, without their ruleset, this challenge would not exist.
But now, I need all of you's help.
I tried my best to make the challenge as versatile and fun as I could, but I keep hitting creative blocks with the requirements. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear your opinions and suggestions, as I know the community is nothing if not inventive with stuff to make the game more fun (thanks, EA, for forcing us to be resourceful). Please send whatever thoughts, ideas and criticisms about the challenge my way, and I shall try to incorporate them into the challenge.
Thank you in advance, and have fun!
