I like the sound of this. The only problem with this idea is that, based upon GC, the question du jour always seems so arbitrary. Whenever there is a galactic council, the question is far removed from my concerns of the moment. It would be neat if your sovereign could call a council and formulate the question.

The normal Sims I played once in the first version for a few evenings. I borrowed it while a friend was away. Mostly I really didn't get it. Same here. I never understood that craze with that game. Then again, I never understood the Starcraft craze either. [e digicons]O:)[/e]

I really like it! The seasons were so important to the medieval world on so many different levels! I'm not in the beta (yet), but I would hope the map would change to reflect the seasons/weather, too.
