Boiling oil, spears in faces and large contraptions designed to hurl lumps of masonry into the castles of fat polygamists are guaranteed to wake you up from your pencil-twirling, windowgazing reverie.Īnd so we come to the LOTR franchise (no, the other LOTR franchise). Medieval history, on the other hand - now that's something else. In a siege, you can end the battle by capturing the enemy’s flag or dispatching all of your opponents soldiers to the great big Realm in the sky.History lessons are usually dull: statistics, figures and an array of pointless people doing inadvisable things. You are given a Warcraft-type view of the battlefield with the units in your army and have to either get them to retreat (a rarity) or kill every last one of the little buggers.
When you engage your enemy in battle is when the real fun starts. You have to hold on to your counties by building larger castles and keeping the peasantry happy and well-fed. Lords of the Realm II is a mixture of turn-based county and economic management and real-time combat.Īs the game begins, the king has died and 5 nobles (including yourself) are vying for control of the realm, including the noble Baron, the headstrong Knight, the ice princess The Countess, and the backstabbing Bishop.
Players grow crops, accumulate resources, manufacture weapons, manage armies, build and lay siege to castles, and attempt to conquer their enemies. The game takes place in a medieval setting, with rulers of several counties warring for the right to be king of the land. It was first released for the PC on October 31, 1996, and is the second game in the Lords of the Realm series. Lords of the Realm II is a computer turn-based strategy game for MS-DOS published by Sierra Entertainment and developed by Impressions Games.
