Shouldn't those immersion breaking "undead" and "monsters" be replaced by something like raiders and bandits. Doesn't that better help  you feel like a feudal lord defending his fief during times of trouble.

Yes. Who even came up with the idea of mixing the best game online with Twilight style rubbish.
No. (And I might or might not be a Twilight fan)
Yes. But I don't believe they should be replaced with 'raiders' or 'bandits.' I have a better idea.

I gotta say, props to Anaris and Vita for taking this seriously despite the stupid Twilight additions to the poll.

Half echoing others here, I've got no problem with undead and monsters - they're basic fare in most roleplaying games of this time and real medieval texts have stories and such about them. What's to say our nobles aren't simply making stuff up because they believe in the gods or want to look impressive among their fellow nobles?

That said, having raiders and bandits beyond the occasional flavor text would be cool, too. The problem is that they'd always have to be tiny bands, by definition. They'd never organize into an army in the way we fight undead. Monsters are a different beast (a-ha) because they DO use small units with higher stats.

And finally... "immersion"? I'm not sure that word is really applicable when the game is mostly text-based and there's no real attempt to disguise that you're playing from a web browser. I might begin to see your point if each letter had a paper background image.

Then again, this could all be an elaborate joke post and we look silly for taking it seriously.  :o
