Fief England

Fief: England is a game of dynastic ambition in which players lead noble families in medieval England.

In the Middle Ages, society becomes feudal. Individuals emerged, hungry for power. Alliances were formed between families to extend their control over the rich English lands. Taxes were used to finance war or free captured lords. But money is no match for the calamities that can befall the kingdom. Whether you're a ruler or aspire to be one...

In Fief: England, you take control of the destiny of a family of lords in a medieval era revisited and try to make them the most powerful in the kingdom. To win, you must make good use of:

•  your political strength, by building alliances through marriage, giving titles to your lords and ladies and convening Parliament to raise taxes,
•  your economic strength, thanks to revenues from mills and abbeys, and taxes on towns, and
•  your military strength, by raising troops (knights, sergeants, archers, crossbowmen) and making good use of your siege engines (bombards and trebuchets).

Life would be a long, quiet river if it weren't for the calamities that can befall the kingdom:

•  bad weather, which spoils harvests;
•  famine, which suppresses income from mills and abbeys and leads to revolts;
•  the Black Death, which decimates your troops and can cost your lords their lives; and Viking invasions, which destroy towns, castles, abbeys and other relics if they are not well defended.

Now it's up to you to discover the fate that awaits you...
