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. Up to four would-be monarchs can battle each other via LAN or modem. The single-player campaign spans eight realms, from Quaintville and Ireland to England and Germany.

You must also carefully balance rations and tax levels to maintain a steady income without upsetting loyal subjects, who may decide to revolt. Changing seasons and cataclysmic events such as fires, droughts, or flooding can ruin infrastructure, potentially undermining your objectives. Gathering iron, wood, and stone lets you create fortifications and weapons, while fields and cattle help sustain the populace. Starting with one meager county, you must gradually expand your power and influence by amassing an army and conquering nearby counties. You are one of five lords vying for control of a kingdom in 1268 A.D. Lords of the Realm II is a medieval-era strategy game combining turn-based resource management and both real-time field battles and castle sieges.
