Game Description :
Lords of the Long Coast is an alternate reality to dark-age medieval Europe. It takes place in a fantasy analogy, with a different history, different ethnicities, different geography, etc. Only key historical events, such as the decay of a large precursor empire (e.g. The Romans) and the rise of Catholicism and feudalism, match the history of earth.
Lords of the Long Coast is set in a feudalistic society. Most players are feudal lords, holding domain over their estates. As can be guessed, the society is also highly patriarchal. Female units do not have stats by default (although if they are important enough they may gain them), and a female lady ruling an estate is considered an oddity. Similarly, the class system of knights, priests and commoners is firmly in place and commonly accepted. The ideals of freedom and democracy have yet to take root, since most people are uneducated and just want to live in peace.
