Challenge 1: Dragon
After decades of grueling and bloody battles for power, your monarch has finally managed to take control over the kingdom. To achieve this feat and further the subjugation of the enemy, the monarch kidnapped and married by force the heir to a powerful spellcaster bloodline.
The monarch's intention is to eventually wield the consort's growing power as the ultimate weapon against the enemy, but the spellcaster is nurturing ideas of revenge, while bidding time to develop a powerful and ancient magic.
Monarch: Young Adult
Traits: Mean, Insider, Self-Absorved (substitute with Monarch, if using the Royalty Mod)
Aspiration: Leader of the Pack
Optional Career: Military (Officer Branch)
Married to:
​
Consort: Young Adult Spellcaster
Traits: Evil, Loner, Gloomy
Aspiration: Spellcraft & Sorcery
1) Prepare your castle/mansion by locking all outside doors - or build a specific tower/area - to keep the consort locked inside. Only the monarch, their children and staff are allowed to interact with the Consort- hey! little more than a prisoner after all.
Suggestion: Are you a builder? Build a dark, medieval type of castle with fortifications, a throne room, dungeons and a spellcaster tower. The island in Windenburg would be a great starting location. Use the cheat code "freerealestate on" to be able to move your family in, regardless of money.
2) Since most battles happened during the summer, keep your monarch as busy as possible out of the castle during this season. Create a club with your monarch as the leader (name it "Dragon Regiment" or something). Club Requirements: Age Young Adult and Adult. Activities: (Social) Be mean, Be Mischievous, Fight, Give Speech, (Hobbies) Work Out.
​
3) Give your monarch a new scar/tattoo at the beginning of each fall season, signalling the return from war.
4) The monarch is anxious to establish his bloodline. Try for baby (until at least one heir is produced) or woohoo every Friday during the Fall, Winter and Spring seasons. The monarch stays away once pregnancy is confirmed and until the baby becomes a toddler.
Optional: name the children after Egyptian Gods or pharaohs.
5) The monarch should reach at least level 3 of the Leader of the Pack Aspiration and level 10 of the Fitness Skill.
6) Meanwhile the consort is working hard at developing magical powers. Complete the Spellcraft & Sorcery Aspiration. You are only allowed to leave the castle to go to the Realm of Magic during the summer, when the monarch is at war. Must learn the Morphiate spell (Mischief Magic).
7) Once the consort fulfills her aspiration, she must use Morphiate on the monarch and therefore assumes control over Windenburg.
WOAH! Have you succeeded helping your consort take revenge? Well done, then once your favourite heir becomes a Young Adult, you may prepare to start your second Challenge.
Base Game Twist: If you do not own the Get Together pack, keep your monarch as busy as possible outside of the castle. I suggest the Public Enemy Aspiration: it will keep to the character and provide a job that will take time. You should still maximize the fitness skill.
If you do not own the Realm of Magic pack, give your consort the Freelance Botanist Aspiration. Remember you must build an indoor secret garden, as the consort is not allowed to go outdoors. Your consort must complete this aspiration to discover an ancient and powerful secret Plant, that will lure the monarch to death. Make your monarch eat the Cow Plant's cake: once, for revenge: your monarch is now under mind control of the consort; OR twice, if your wish for revenge is bloodthirsty.
