Introduction | LOTE it's a great PBEM game. If you don't have a time to waste in hack & slash, this is the game for you. Ok, you must spend some time for learn a 100 pages manuals... I do it in the times that I travel from house to work and return. In LOTE you represent a king of a nation, usually in the 1000AD, and you must guide it in the path that you wish... In LOTE all types of playing are allow, if you want be que conqueror of the world, you can try... if you are more close to Machiavelli and wish use diplomacy and other nasty actions you can do it... and if you only want get grow your kingdom in internal affairs, economics, happiness and made your great beautiful kingdom you can do it... How is the mechanics of the game, the GM send a stat sheet that represent your nation, you read the newsfax (who, what, where happen in the last turn) that publish the GM, made all diplomacy that you wish with another players, then you wrote yours orders for the next turn (usually in a Excel's spreadsheet) each turn represent normally 5 years of time. This game can be considered a slow game because the usual turn around are 1 turn per month. Some games are more slowly, others have waiting list for enter.
