Lords of the Realm II is a computer game published by Sierra
Entertainment and developed by Impressions Games. It was first released for
the PC on October 31, 1996, and is the second game in the Lords of the Realm
series.
The game takes place in a medieval setting, with rulers of several counties warring for the right to be
king of the land. Players grow crops, accumulate resources, manufacture weapons, manage armies, build and
lay siege to castles, and attempt to conquer their enemies—facing memorable rivals including the Baron,
the Countess, the Bishop, and the Knight.
Directed by artist and designer Chris Beatrice alongside studio co-creator Simon
Bradbury and composer Keith Zizza, it sold over 350,000
copies and helped shape the golden age of historical strategy alongside Caesar III,
Total War, and Stronghold.
