The Niche Kingdoms Challenge
Throughout all of niche's history, there have always been people looking for a challenge. There are things like the bee challenge, or the water challenge, but today I think I have a challenge that I personally really enjoy, and I think many other people will too.

Hello, and welcome to the Niche Kingdoms Challenge! This challenge is... Different. At least,I think so. Anyways, the goal of this challenge is to populate an island with many different nichlings, each divided into seperate groups, tribes, or as I call them, kingdoms. The kingdoms all have to be different in some way. Maybe they have a certain biome they live in, and they attack any intruder that steps foot on their land? What if hybrids are worshipped in one kingdom, and feared in another? How would that impact the two village's relationships? It's all up to you!

The base rules of the challenge are simple. You have to have multipule groups of nichlings, (all controlled by you) and they have to all have their different beliefs, practices, relations towards other groups, and, most importantly, genes. Each kingdom has to have at least one gene that is exclusive to their kingdom, and is very important to be born with in their society. This gene can be any gene in the entire game, just as long as it's there. The second hard rule is that there must be ranks. Every group has to have a leader, a second in command, fighters, and villagers. You can add more ranks depending on the village, but that choice is up to you. The third and final rule is that you have to put story first, and gameplay second. In this challenge, each nichling has it's own personality, it's own goals, and it's own path. Whether they fall in love with a nichling that has the same immunity as them, or if they give up a chance to collect berries to attend an event, unlike the main game, always put the story first, unless in bad situations.

There really aren't that many rules to this challenge. You can pick any island you want (although I believe grass adventure is best for this one), and you can have as many, or as few, kingdoms as you want. All that matters is that there are different factions, each with their own territory, beliefs, practices, genes, and relations towards each other. You can choose whatever kind of ranks you want, whether it be with kings, queens, knights and villagers, or with chieftains, warriors and shamans. Heck, with the way the challenge works, you could easily do both!

Anyways, if you enjoy the idea of this challenge, then I hope you can enjoy playing it, and creating your own little world. I'm trying it out, and so far i've become significantly more attached to my nichlings than with any other save file I had before. I hope you all enjoy, and have a good day. Bye! ^^

Oooh im so glad you asked. i was going to combine the luck challange with this one and play using both challanges rules. it'll probably result in a pretty chaotic story, so i thought it was a fun idea XD.

Oh its a die roll challange where you roll a die to for certain aspects of the game, like which island you choose and such.

Cool idea. . . this would make a good diary style(ppl in my group will understand what I mean) story for the start group I am in

Sounds super fun! I'll probably try this now (If I don't delete the island after 5 minutes, hopefully, I'm that person who gets bored with a tribe after a few minutes) I like the idea!

Yeah me too, I play in one setting for a few hours (not minutes though ^^) and once I close the world it is very likely that I'll delete it next time I play
