This doesn't make me dizzy like some games do. I enjoy this time period and game play. I wish more games were like this. Improvements would be more weapons choices and fantasy creatures. I need a dragon.

best game ever

i have played lords II for years , and i rate it over any game i have played, tryed to load it on my new puter with vista, but would not work, really love playing this game, so i bought lords III, it was terrible ,
i wish that they would update the lords II game , with other countries and features. i have all but wore out the one i have, and probably will have to purchase a new one, but i dont know if they work on xp or vista, as i could not get it to. i have an old puter with ME on it so i may have to get it out of storage . great game

Lords of the Realm: A failure for Sierra

I'm afraid that this is a strategy game I regret buying. The gameplay is bizarre, the combat is pathetic, and the resource management is difficult. This is all aside from the fact that the game itself is interesting only a half-hour at a time, you'll soon find yourself incredibly bored. This game's best feature is it's accuracy of medieval life, but there are far better strategy games out there: Age of Empires II is probably the best substitute for this game. Summary: Not a good game

This game is great, allows you to play in a lot of settings, manage food and resources, to keep your people fed, or starved, great combat.
Unfortunately, the oponents have huge advantages over you.

Excellent game

this is one of the most interesting and challenging games i have ever played. I first discovered it while watching my dad on the computer. I asked what it was and he said it was a mid-evil game. I sat down and watched and it was even fun to do that! I watched for about two weeks and then I started playing. I couldnt believe how interesting this game was! If you dont get this game atleast try the demo.

good game but no surprise

This is a good turn-based strategy game. All the different kinds of units to command are quite fun. But, there is no surprise in this game and you get bored by the routine of the events, feed the people-build army-fight. The diplomacy is poor and easely foreseeable. Maybe it's just the medieval life that is not very varied.

Good game

This is a fun stratagy game although is an older game. Sometimes when playing the game you swere the other opponits are real players. AI is real good. I had fun.

Good concept but the game is HARD

The game is good. It is turn based but is also real time. This is a good game but my kingdoms always seem to go south. All my food is gone, or my population goes from 1,000 to 100.

You use blacksmiths to create weapons and then raise an army from your town. You can build castles and fortify them.

I would recommend that you by this game if you are up to the challenge.

Good and getting better

I just found and played LOTRII 2 weeks ago for the first time in 3 years. I am a sucker for this time period and started with Defender of the Crown back in the Tandy days. I was still surprised how challenging and good LOTRII was after all this time!

This is a challenging game, especially when the difficulty level is set to anything over 'normal'.

The control over economy, farming resource management, castle building and military design is wonderful. The graphics are good for a game of its age as do the sounds.

Military battles are reminiscant of Warcraft controls.

It has run very successfully on my Windows XP box and sounds beter than ever through Audigy.

I give 4 out of 5 as AI diplomacy could use an upgrade. I can't wait for Lords Of The Realm III to come out. Until then enjoy this, its still worth the purchase!
