Tim 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. Its total sales ultimately reached 2.5 million copies worldwide. 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. By November, global sales of Lords of the Realm II had surpassed 350,000 copies. It exited PC Data's monthly top 20 after a placement of 19th in July. 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 rose to #9 in January, and it remained in the firm's top 20 for another two months, before dropping out in April. In the United States, Lords of the Realm II debuted in 16th place on PC Data's computer game sales rankings for December 1996.
Besides, when you can bring a castle down by aiming a battering ram or a catapult at it in realtime, it's a lot more satisfying." Reception Sales Impressions Games general manager David Lester commented during development, "We wanted the game to be more multiplayer friendly, and one way to do that was by adding realtime combat. The game is a combination of a turn-based resource management game, in which players grow crops, accumulate resources, manufacture weapons, manage armies, and build and lay siege to castles and a real-time strategy game with players controlling units individually or in group formations in battles or during sieges.Ĭompared to the original, Lords of the Realm II features updated graphics and an improved management system. Players need to carefully manage food (cows, dairy, grain), population, and happiness levels whilst avoiding Malthusian population meltdowns or other players invading their counties.
There is no magic, and unlike many strategy games, it has no technology tree. Lords of the Realm II is very different from many medieval strategy games. Players grow crops, accumulate resources, manufacture weapons, manage armies, build and lay siege to castles, capture provinces, and ultimately 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 in 1996, and is the second game in the Lords of the Realm series. Lords of the Realm II (also known as Lords 2) is a computer game published by Sierra On-Line and developed by Impressions Games.
