In Fief: England, you take control of the destiny of a family of lords in a revisited medieval era 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 through income from mills and abbeys, and taxes on towns, and
- your military strength, by raising troops (knights, sergeants, archers, crossbowmen) and by making good use of your siege engines (bombards and trebuchets).
