Lords Of The Realm Ii

Lords of the Realm II is a computer game published by Sierra On-Line and developed by Impressions Games. It was first released for the PC in 1996, and is the second game in the Lords of the Realm series.The game takes place in a medieval setting, with rulers of several counties warring for the right to be king of the land. Players grow crops, accumulate resources, manufacture weapons, manage armies, build and lay siege to castles, capture provinces, and ultimately attempt to conquer their enemies.GameplayLords of the Realm II is very different from many medieval strategy games. There is no magic, and unlike many strategy games, it has no technology tree. Players need to carefully manage food (cows, dairy, grain), population, and happiness levels whilst avoiding Malthusian population meltdowns or other players invading their counties.

It rose to #9 in January, and it remained in the firm's top 20 for another two months, before dropping out in April. Returning to the top 20 in May and June, Lords of the Realm II became the 14th-best-selling computer game in the United States during 1997's first half.

It exited PC Data's monthly top 20 after a placement of 19th in July. By November, global sales of Lords of the Realm II had surpassed 350,000 copies.Lords of the Realm II went on to be the 19th-biggest computer game seller of 1998, with 245,324 in sales and $2.99 million in revenues. Its total sales ultimately reached 2.5 million copies worldwide.Critical reviewsTim Soete of GameSpot called Lords of the Realm II 'a challenging and entertaining experience for strategy enthusiasts.' However, he opined that the game was overambitious in its real-time combat aspect, with troops that are difficult to maneuver and battlefields that tend to become overcrowded.

Lords of the Realm II is a medieval strategy video game that introduces a Siege Pack expansion that contains a new castle, different battle maps, and lots of unique scenarios. Throughout my journey, I need to jump into a thrilling battle and perform various actions to proceed further.

A Next Generation critic found it 'simply an outstanding upgrade and improvement over the already excellent original.' He particularly emphasized the realistic economic model, such as the fact that building an army requires drafting peasants from the population, with a resultant drop in village morale, whereas in most such games armies are built from a separate and unlimited stock of potential soldiers. Like Soete, he saw problems in the combat, such as the enemy AI's ineptitude at siege warfare, but deemed them minor issues.SequelsThe game had an expansion pack released in 1997, Lords of the Realm II: Siege Pack, consisting of new combat scenarios. It was followed years later by the much-changed sequel Lords of the Realm III. Video Review and Screenshots.
