    The scope of the game is fairly unrealistic. Despite the atmosphere looking and feeling real, the counties in Lords 2 have 500 to 1500 people in them. The smallest counties of medieval England had 40,000; the largest around 250,000. That’s easy to get over. The broken AI is not. The computer becomes easy to predict and beat. Even with the difficulty set at Impossible, the game is easy toThe scope of the game is fairly unrealistic. Despite the atmosphere looking and feeling real, the counties in Lords 2 have 500 to 1500 people in them. The smallest counties of medieval England had 40,000; the largest around 250,000. That’s easy to get over. The broken AI is not. The computer becomes easy to predict and beat. Even with the difficulty set at Impossible, the game is easy to win once you get the hang of it. Diplomacy is meaningless. Even if you have a perfect relationship with your ally, he/she won’t help you and will actually even attack you unexpectedly. The computer players will send random marauders attack you for no reason. If you kill an enemy army attacking your land, diplomatic relationships drop, even though you were defending yourself. Food production is limited to growing wheat because the cattle in the game demand too much attention. County management becomes tedious past a certain. All in all, the game is fun until you know what you're doing.… Expand

    I did however find the resource maps and graphics to be confusing. When looking at the resource map you can't tell right away which industries are on or off. You can get this info from the map legend but think the map could have been a bit clearer.

    And challenging it is: The Middle Ages were tough times and similarly, Lords of the Realm II is a tough game.

    A solid game, but it isn't terribly original.
