A good balance between micro and macro management. The battlefield screens could stand a bit of enhancement. Lords of the Realm has all the ingredients, and in the right proportions, to satisfy anyone interested in historical simulations.

In summary, what Impressions has given gamers in LORDS OF THE REALM is: 1) the joy of castle-building with an added dimension of economic management; 2) the strategic challenge of a wargame, complete with tactical resolution; 3) KINGMAKER-style diplomatic maneuvering with more options; and 4) two different multi-player options in which to experience these challenges. David Lester and Chris Foster have give strategy gamers a “sporting chance” to win at a game at which too many historical personages have lost.

All Game Guide
Whatever faults can be attributed to the game's mechanics or contents are almost uniformly minor and in most instances an error of omission. From structure to game play, Lords of the Realm has notched its own place in wargaming history.

Armeijoidenkin kohtaukset voi tappeluttaa tahtoessaan käsipelilläkin. Impressions on saavuttamassa SSI:tä strategistin ykkösfirmana. Vaikka Lords of the Realmissa suuren valtakunnan ylläpito on aika rasittavaa tällä yksityiskohtaisuudella, on peli loistava. Eritoten linnan rakentaminen ja piiritykset ovat himoa aiheuttavia kohtauksia. Keskiaikaisuutta tavoittelevat musiikit luovat peliin sopivaa ilmapiiriä, ja nätti grafiikkakin luontuu kokonaisuuteen hyvin. Käyttöliittymä on firman keskitasoa parempi ja käsikirjat todella hyvät.

Lords is a good game, but, compared to Colonization's 5,000-acre estate, it is but an expanded allotment with a fancy garden shed.

So übermächtig die Konkurrenz auch ist, das Programm hat auf jeden Fall eine Daseinsberechtigung. Das Genre "Korn & Schwerter" läßt sich kaum besser verwirklichen. Die Programmierer haben eine gute Mischung aus Komplexität und Spielbarkeit gefunden.

Finden Sie auch, daß das Mittelalter eine der faszinierendsten Epochen der Geschichte war? Sind Sie außerdem der Meinung, daß Hardcore-Strategiespiele oft zu "trocken" geraten sind, um noch Spaß zu machen? Dann hat Ihnen das neue Ritter-Epos aus dem Hause Impressions einiges zu bieten.
