Simple mathematics give you a winner [Posted on 2003-09-01]
Although i have this game already for over 5 years, i still enjoy playing it. Sound, graphics and gameplay are great, considering the age of the game. The only sad thing perhaps is that you can perfectly calculate what to do in order to win the game: 1 cow feeds 10 people, next season i will have exactly produced 124 bows etc... The only random factors, which you can't influence at all, are events like the plague. If calculated well, you can defend one county against an invasion of all other counties together. So don't set the difficulty too easy. For the rest it is a recommender although its age.

A classic [Posted on 2004-03-09]
Lords of the Realm 2 was the first strategy game I played. A friend brought it over in 7th grade, and in the past 7 years it's been the one game I've gone back to repeatedly. I have yet to grow tired of this game.

First, I love the game's soundtrack. I've actually put all the music WAV files in a playlist...and while I'm on the subject of the audio, if you haven't listened to setup2.wav, DO IT!

As for gameplay, it isn't exactly the most complicated of strategy games, but I think that's part of what makes it fun. If you're going to create an army, wait for one of the merchants to come through so you can buy ale. It's much easier to feed people on grain than cows, and it doesn't hurt happiness. The Knight is a spoiled brat. It is music to my ears to hear "The county is yours, my lord..." After countless hours playing this game, things like these are what you will discover. Oh, and defending your first siege without losing a guy (and no auto-calc either)...now there's a feeling of intense pride.

If you can manage to get the (now flaky) multiplayer system to work anymore (it sure as heck wasn't designed for XP!), you're in for quite a treat. The Siege Pack adds in a new gameplay form, the Skirmish. This is the real-time battles of the game played separate from the game itself. These are great for when you don't have time to sit through the typical hours for an RTS, but have a taste for medieval battle.

real-time/ turn-based strategy  [Posted on 2008-01-06]
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 [Posted on 2008-05-06]
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
