1:30Naughtingburg's custom principles include a rule against eating humans.
2:26Naught gathers logs and lays down the beginnings of a wilderness home.
7:56Dirk visits, opening a conversation about food, building and joining the kingdom.
10:44A red portal brings a hostile Lesser Imp into the settlement.
13:40Skarde's prestige requirements send Naught to work on a wooden tribal crown.

Naught needs subjects, but a prospective recruit has standards. Skarde won't join a ruler without sufficient prestige, so ambiguousamphibian gets his solitary king crafting a wooden tribal crown. Even in the wilderness, apparently, appearances count.

"Noble Fates, 1 Colonist Start..." was the channel's only new upload this week, reaching about 136,000 views in its first twelve hours. The sponsored gameplay video starts with custom kingdom principles, including a prohibition on eating humans, before sending Naught out to collect logs and sleep outdoors. Recruiting Dirk earns a delighted "First friend!" from the narrator. Then a hostile imp arrives, making company look rather less optional.

Viewers are finding familiar reference points in the fantasy colony simulator: RimWorld, Crusader Kings and even The Sims come up in the comments. Others are proposing more medieval kingdom-building videos, including challenges that follow the same settlement across successive uploads.

The new kingdom is the busiest of the channel's highlighted videos right now. "Probably Stolen, Starting with $0...", a cyberpunk shopkeeper-sim run, also has substantial momentum, while the older Kenshi Fogmen challenge continues drawing a smaller daily audience. Starting with very little remains a productive predicament here.

Across the channel, weekly views reached roughly 1.3 million and subscribers stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is below its usual pace. Among nearby strategy and simulation channels, that weekly audience is close to Oxhorn's; lilsimsie had a larger week. For ambiguousamphibian, the fresh activity centers on Naughtingburg, where attracting citizens requires both spare beds and a ruler worth swearing allegiance to.

You should do this game as a series! One idea is to do a new challenge every video, but following the progression of the same kingdom in every video.
