3. Fort allocation - digital feudalism
Lords are only one class of fort. A fort is always an atom.
It is classified by the size of that atom:
>= 2^64, < 2^128 : wolf (wild fort)
>= 2^32, < 2^64 : pawn (civil fort)
>= 2^16, < 2^32 : lord (civil fort)
>= 2^8, < 2^16 : earl (civil fort)
>= 1, < 256 : duke (civil fort)
== 0 : pope (trivial fort)
