I think those of us who grew up with this game and others like were lucky. Loads of small companies making games like this that were unique. Today it is more main stream giants churning out games for the masses. Thanks for this - happy memories. 'the presence of your men-at-arms in our county is unacceptable'.
@Tommy1917 I agree with you Tommy; but there are a few good games out these days; games like the Anno series, The Civilization series, The Fable series, and The Witcher are all good :)
Confession: I was 12 yo and DEEPLY obsessed with this game, the only 2 times I nearly assaulted the computer techs at the store was when my cpu crashed and couldnt play this and CS beta 6 lol
I remember getting this game when I was just a kid. I think it cost about $15-20 at costco when I bought it. Really enjoyed it. This, along with Age of Empires, was one of my first strategy games. ^___^
I haven't played this game in over 10 years, but today, I awoke hearing this music in my head. So I came here looking for it. THANKS for the upload! I loved this game.
i was playing this baby...warcraft 1 and 2...mechwarrior....C&C....and pretty much every classic pc game simultaneously ...no wonder where all the time went
It is a 16-bit game, so it will not work on Windows x64 editions because they removed the 16-bit architecture. You need to run it through virtual console.
i wish they would make a new lords of the realm. the third one was pretty disappoiting. lords of the realm 2 is still one of my favourite computer games.
This is the best tune in the game. So peaceful! I usta consider this tune the theme song of one of my female D&D characters. It's got a nice girly feel to it. I dunno. Anyway, thanks for the fine vid!!
Love the game!!! Stil got it on my computer. If you go to classicpcgames. com there you can download it. Just set it to compatible mode win95 and 256 colors. Then you maybe we will meet online :D COME ON LADS!!!
OMG!!! FAVORITE GAME. I USED TO PLAY THIS WHEN I WAS 10 YEARS OLD, BEST GAME EVER MADE, FLAWLESS. EVEN THOUGH ITS OLD IT IS THE BEST STRATEGY GAME COMPARED TO TODAYS BULLSHIT CREATORS ARE MAKING, WHICH IN TURN BECOMES EPIC FAIL. =( I miss games like this... I wish they just upped it a little bit and MADE multiplayer available. That would be SO amazing!
@Xionic17 It is multiplayer, at least the Lords Royal Collection one was. I played it with a friend over LAN back in the day. See those shields at the top middle of the screen? The ones that disappear really fast as each CPU takes it's turn? Those stick around awhile longer when you play it over LAN. :)
@Xionic17 oh btw if anyone is interested...they did make this game for vista ..compatible ...you only need the original cd as a condition! just google it. some nostalgic chap made the program so we dont have to use DOsBOX
they should just remake this game like they did with tropico 3, if it aint broke dont fix it! just make it vista compatible and up the graphics with easier mutiplay and shit i think youve got a seller!
"buy these goods my lord?" and not to forget one I heard quite frequently "your people are dying my lord". man I used to love sending dozens of insults in good letters to my rivals and laughing at their replies. who would have thought the Bishop would be complemented by being called a cocksucker?
I don't remember the exact quote but I remember at one point the bishop starts calling you a cheat and all kinds of stuff and it sounds like an insult at first but then he starts praising you for your character.
(French version of this phrase is much more pleasant, it's my message alert ^^... The guy seems proudly shouting to a mate near him, with a higher-pitched voice, that he has shot "EN PLEIN ENTRE LES DEUX YEUX !")
I've just re-installed this game, and I am lucky to have found a nearly complele french patched version... What a wonder.
This music made this game magical. When you won a battle 'scroll 2' would play giving a real sense of achievement and success. Very atmospheric and testament to Keith Zizza's genius as a composer for video games.
man this music is with out a doubt one of the greatest. its definately on my top 5 for greatest game music. hey would u be able to do a series of lords of the realm 2 gameplay? that would be awesome
@Mast3rFr3aky yeah that gog games website makes sure to tries to get old games to work on windows vista or 7 cause a lot of old games don't work on modern systems
I bought original Lords of the Realm Royal Collection including first second and third part for MAC and PC on eBay occasionally! It comes with original box, manuals, maps and stuff! It cost me $35 and worth the buy even today.
@m0t0cr0sskid93 found it on Good ol Games GOG.Com. Siege pack and everything. Along with some other gems from Sierra back in the day. Lords of Magic, and Caesar 3.
@m0t0cr0sskid93 It's on GOG.com without any DRM and with Win XP/Vista/7 compatibility for like $6. GOG is the BEST site for classic games. If you want Lords of the Realm 2 check it out there.
I'd love to take all the credit but I have to give SOME to the folks at GOG. Seriously though, I'm glad to help anyone play such a great game. Hope you enjoy it for many hours!
kinda cool, some parts are good but I'm not particularly in the flute parts. Looks like this game is set up kinda like tw by the looks of it. Just smaller scale battle i suppose?
There is FAR more micromanagement on the campaign map then you might think. You start off with one county on the map(e.g. England, Italy, Germany). There are up to 4 other nobles(The Knight, The Baron, The Bishop and The Countess) all vying for control. YOU have to assign peasants to work on everything in any given county you have under your control. Wikipedia actually has a detailed page on Lords of the Realm II. That's odd for Wikipedia, isn't it?
It's one of the great strategy games of all time. If it had upgraded graphics and MP3 quality sound and music, this would be another game people would flock to.
The sequal, Lords3, tried to turn the Lords series into an RTS, which nobody really liked. The Lords series was always meant to be a turn based game, and that's part of what makes it such a good game. You're not in a massive click fest.

Hunte9753 2 years ago
Let's ponder a little...
The game was made in 1996 so it is for old System 7 (Mac OS 7)
and 68k/PPC Macintosh models.
If you were to run it on Mac Pro & OS X 10.4.7 which doesn't support
natively run earlier PPC applications it will either not launch/crash
or work unstable/too fast for today's Mac x86 architecture.
You need in that case to use some software emulation in your Mac Pro
to run earlier 68k/PPC applications at some performance penalty.
It's all there in Wikipedia btw.
