“Ye good old Lords of Realm II certainly added some interesting features to turn based strategy games back in the late 90's. Thought the IA behind the computer players is easily beatable for experienced players, it's…”

“somewhat harder to play now with not being able to use 256 color display but still a fun and very strategy oriented game”
