I loveeee medieval dynasty, and am wondering if anything like this exists but is set in modern times.. I have a bunch of building games but I want something where I can create, manage, and play as a member of the world i’m building.. rather than just being “god”
I LOVE this game as is and I play at least 15 hours a week. It’s my escape and no other game has come close in the 3 years i’ve been playing.. But i’ve been seeing a lot of these types of posts lately and just out of pure fantasizing and for fun, I want to share the ideas i’ve had over time for what would make it even cooler. Some of them are are way out there and unrealistic but some of them would be super minimal additions..
- Travelers not from your village visit your tavern and markets and camp near you - also roam around the map
- Usable wagons for horses - roaming around the map and for personal use
- Ox, mules to help farm and pull plows
- You can sell stuff straight from the tavern
- Some what of a realistic economy where your villagers earn their own money, and have to actually purchase their food/goods and pay you tax (option to turn it off in settings)
- Villagers actually go to and interact with your markets like they appear to in Piastovia
- Inns that visitors can sleep in and you can make money from - also so you can stay in other villages
- Bandits could attack your village (option to turn this off in settings)
- A guard tower with assigned workers/guards to protect your village
- Schools or chores to assign kids to so they don’t just roam around all day (real medieval kids were BUSY)
- You can have more than one kid
- Churches (HUGE part of medieval society)
- Graves for dead villagers
- More toys for kids and to decorate with
- You need to produce clothing for your villagers to wear and buy, in the same way you need to produce firewood/food/water (option to turn this off in settings)
- Actual visible pests like rats that cause illness and eat your food storage, deer can eat your crops, etc. (option to turn this off in settings)
- Cats and dogs (prevent pests, protect village, increasing villager mood, or act as husbandry to produce meat)
- Weddings or other events where people gather and celebrate (kind of like an extension how people sometimes come sing at the tavern)
- Villagers can get sick and miss work, possibly die or need treatment (option to turn this off in settings)
- A village healer and midwife
- Storms or other disaster events that are actually part of the game and not just pop ups between seasons (option to turn this off)
- Indoor furniture
- Washing in shallow creeks (you don’t need to be fully submerged you can just wash like you can with the tubs)
- Castles or better houses for the villager leader (me)
- Fences that can be decorated
- You can actually interact with decorative items (use the outhouse, make butter at the butter turner, etc.)
I am 28 and in my second semester of a 2 year program. My entire life is school. Even my primary social circle has become my school friends… Constant class work, clinical and studying. HEAVY content cramming. I don’t really have a choice. There is too much to learn in too short of a time. Exams are almost weekly between my classes. And no matter what, i’m still always a bit behind on the content…. BUT i’m getting good grades and I am learning, so it must be paying off.
However, it seems like my brain cant separate life and school/nursing anymore. I can literally FEEL my neurons fighting to re-wire. I can feel myself starting to actually understand things and relate patho, meds, concepts, and interventions- especially at clinical.. However, the annoying part is that i’m not fully there yet in my education and also that I can’t shut it off in my private life… Every conversation I have, every abnormality I see on an unsuspecting stranger, every time I close my eyes - my brain starts rapid firing. I’ll notice someone’s breathing, gait, skin, the way they’re talking, something they say, their behaviors, etc.. and my brain immediately starts trying to dissect it. And it does this everywhere, all the time. Suddenly i’ll be 10 thoughts deep before I catch myself and try to redirect my thinking.. It’s exhausting.
Even when I’m trailing off to sleep, my brain starts involuntarily mind mapping, trying to filter through everything I jammed it full of that day... My dreams are starting to resemble something that looks like the intro of The Good Doctor, LMAO. Or i’ll have nightmares where someone is dying and I can’t quite figure out what i need to do.
Anyone else experience this? I know I probably need a mental break, but I can’t. 🙃
Obviously I know it matters in real life (just wanted to clarify this 😂) but I am wondering if it matters in the game and if they factored sex of the animal into the food production.
At first I always buy 2 females and 1 male - of the cows, goats, roosters and chickens..
Then they reproduce and I let all the babies grow to adulthood. Then i’ll slaughter all the extra males for meat and to make room for more babies.
It just hit me that it might not actually matter in the game. i’ve never actually let all the male animals live long enough to test it out.. Does anyone know?
Also, does the male/female ratio affect the rate of reproduction?
I’ve always had a bit of mucus in my stools but for about 6 months i’ve been having extremely painful bouts of diarrhea. 2 weeks ago I had the worst pain i’ve ever felt, diarrhea, vomiting, blood and blood clots so I went to the ER and was diagnosed with Colitis. They think it’s ulcerative but I haven’t gotten a colonoscopy yet.
The whole last week i’ve been fine, but haven’t pooped much at all.. Today, I am not in pain but have been passing and kinda leaking chunks of mucus. 🤢 gross, I know. I had to stay home because I keep having to deal with it… Is this indicative and common with ulcerative colitis? I didn’t think it was?
She’s in the nursing program and she has testing accommodations so she took the final exam a few days later than the rest of us.. The exam she takes is different questions than the rest of us, but it’s the same percentage of concepts and style of questions and stuff.
She studies hard and works her butt off. However she messed up.. between the regular exam and her exam, she over heard a couple of people in the library talking about how the final was heavy on a couple of concepts.. She then went and texted a few people privately and said something along the lines of “do you have any tips for me on what concepts I should study? I heard its heavy on this and that”
She texted me this as well, but all I told her was that it had a lot of questions from all the units and chapters and she should put her energy into her weak spots (which is obvious). I don’t think anyone gave her any direct answers or super helpful info, other than what she overheard in the library.
Anyway, someone reported her for texting around and asking.. i’m not sure who but she had her exam grade withheld and has a meeting with the head of the department.
Anyone have any experience with this type of thing? will she likely be kicked out?
I am primarily just venting my fears out, so sorry this is long. If you read it and have any advice please give!
I’m 28 and back in school for Nursing (2 year RN program). I am at end of my first semester of Nursing, however I had to take a couple pre-reqs so i’m 3 semesters deep. I want to preface this by saying I have a previous bachelors degree and had a 3.8 gpa. I got an A in all my bio’s.. I’ve always been a “smart girl’ but these tests are so hard. They are all tricks of wording, and there is so much content.
I have failed 2 out of 3 of my nursing exams so far, both by 3 points (passing is 75) my course average is currently an 82.
Exam 1 I got a 72
Exam 2 I got an 84
Exam 3 I got a 72
I have Exam 4 tomorrow and the Final Exam is next week.. I only need a 65 on both to pass the class (they are all weighted differently and I have 100 on all assignments + skills assessments) so it’s achievable but i’m scared shitless.
We started the semester with 75 students, we had about 20 drop out or get kicked out so far, and the instructors just announced they only anticipate about half of us to move forward.. It feels like the damn hunger games.
All I do is study. Ive lost weight. I can’t sleep at night because my brain won’t chill the fuck out. Before exams 1 and 3 I maybe slept 3 hours and I failed them both. Also during exam 3 I felt sick the whole time (I have POTS and also just found out i’m Anemic so i’m sure these combined with nerves).
If I fail I can repeat the semester but only if I get at least a 70 in the class, and it would be my only re-do for the entire duration of the program (we have to finish in 5 semesters or we get booted).. They told us if we get booted we don’t qualify to apply to any other nursing schools?
I gave up so much to be here. I would be a fantastic nurse. I am putting everything I have into this.. and it might all be for nothing. Are all programs like this? No wonder there’s a nursing shortage.
It feels like my instructors make it really difficult on purpose too.. like I know nursing is hard in general but they make it worse, I think they are using scare techniques to try and see which students are really willing to devote themselves and rule out the bad eggs.
Anyway, if you made it this far, thanks for coming to my ted talk. I’d love some advice from people that have been through this.. How do I sleep tonight? please pray for me lol.
