    I have been playing computer games over 20 years. This rates as one of the best games of all time, period.

    Ahhh.... This game has a lot of history for me, being one of the first I played on Windows (95), back in 1997. I got the demo off of a PC Gamer disc, if I recall, and intensely hungered for more. Fast forward to today, and I still play it now and then. The AI is terrible by today's standards; you can trick the enemies into funneling into meaty jaws of arrowdeath pretty easily once youAhhh....

Fast forward to today, and I still play it now and then. The AI is terrible by today's standards; you can trick the enemies into funneling into meaty jaws of arrowdeath pretty easily once you get the hang of it. But it's still fun. Game is a blast in multiplayer, if you can get past the fact that modern computers make it behave like a tweaker with 10 cups of coffee. Grab it, try it, and enjoy it.… Expand

    Very good game. Mix of economic and tactic game. Awesome sort of strategy. Can cheat a bit during fights, but I call it tactic ^^ it's time consuming and not always able to do. Economy aspect is on high level, maybe it lacks a bit reasons to be allies with others... not too many profitable options. Still strong 10/10

    Simply way ahead of its time, a defining piece of the Grand Strategy Genre, feature more polished and complex gameplay than titles from the Total War series offer 15 years later, with enough personality and flavor to make you smile while conquering the world.

    İlk Pc oyunum ozaman Windows'ta 95 var. Listede olması gerektiğini düşündüğüm bir oyundu.

    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.
