The Medieval Challenge: Rimworld Alpha 12. 26/08/2015


Backstory - On their way to visit distant cousins on another planet, Lord Chris, Lord ZeeOvenFresh and Lord Dott encountered a meteor shower which started ripping holes through their ship. Scrambling to their escape pods, they saw a servant and guard jumping into yet another two pods before closing the hatches, strapping themselves in and slamming the launch button.


Challenge Goals – To establish an exclusive hierarchy where a "castle" has been built and the colony is fully defensible and functional. The "castle" will be lavish and well made; for aristocracy only. Peasants will have little or no luxuries, whilst guards fall into the middle, having some luxuries that the aristocracy are entitled too.


Difficulty - Classic Casandra: Rough/Extreme

Location – Random site must be picked, maximum re-randomising of four times, five random locations total.

*We will be starting with three members of the aristocracy, one guard and one peasant*


Hierarchy –

Aristocracy
Guards
Peasants



Aristocracy

1.0)  Aristocracy includes the original three of the colony.
1.1) People who are chased are automatically included in the aristocracy as they are distant lords hated by their peasants and are wrongfully overturned.
1.2)  Wanderer's are automatically included in the aristocracy as they are also distant relatives coming to join their brothers and sisters in their rightful place.
1.3) Any colonist that does not fall into these categories; i.e a crash landing, a successful recruit, is classed as a peasant/guard.


Aristocratic Life

2.0) Aristocracy are entitled to their own private dorms, dining area and rec area which should be walled off from peasants in their own private grounds. (This may take some time to implement)
2.1) Aristocracy are entitled to better meals and their own private dining area (when available).
2.2) Aristocracy are entitled to better medical treatment.
2.3) Aristocracy are entitled to better clothing.
2.4) Aristocracy are entitled to a lesser workload.
2.5) Aristocracy buildings will be made out of finer materials than others.
2.6) Aristocracy are only allowed to work with high intelligence animals.
2.7) Aristocracy may not become guards.



Guards

3.0) Guards must have a relatively high shooting/melee skill and must be mentally stable in order to attain guard status.
3.1) Guards will always be on the frontline of defence.
3.2) Once there are more than a total of five colonists, there must be AT LEAST one permanent guard.


Guard Life

4.0) Providing there is an abundance of materials guards may be entitled to them; e.g. if there is an abundance of fine meals they may eat them.
4.1) They may have larger and more lavish rooms, providing the aristocracy are happy with their accommodation.
4.2) Guards may only train strong animals for aggressive uses.
4.3) Guards may have any job, but primarily are going to be used in the defence of the colony.
4.4) Guards are the only colonists who can hunt.



Combat

5.0) Guards are allowed to have more advanced/higher tier weaponry than the aristocracy as they will be the frontline defence.
5.1) Peasants may also be allowed more advanced/higher tier weaponry than the aristocracy if there is an abundance of guards and the peasants have the relative skill, e.g a high shooting skill.
5.2) Aristocracy will also have to be in the line of defence (until the colony is large enough), although they will always be as far from danger as possible.



Misc.

6.0) Any peasant that goes berserk and attacks a member of the aristocracy will be punished.
6.1) The punishment for peasants will befit the crime, ranging from permanent cleaning duty, solicitude, maiming, and death.
6.2) Any guard that goes berserk and attacks a member of the aristocracy will be severely punished as this will be an act of treason.
6.3) Any guard that goes berserk and attacks a peasant will be overlooked.
6.4) Courageous acts by peasants/high valued skill may entail rewards.
6.5) Rewards range from a one off fine/lavish meal, a flowerpot for their bedroom or on the very rare occasion an upgrade status from peasant to guard with all privileges guards are entitled to.
6.6) Once the "castle" has been built, peasants and guards are only ever allowed in to repair buildings, provide healthcare etc.


Current members of the aristocracy:
ZeeOvenFresh – Lord ZeeOvenFresh
LacunaGamer – Lord Chris
The Suspicous Dot – Lord Dott

Well, not yet, but the observation I had since I set my signature continues even to this day. Perhaps I should compile a list.
