Also, there was very little customization.

Lords of the Realm was turn based, and seemed to go much slower. There are similarities with the main ideas, however the gameplay to me seemed quite different. I have played both Lords of the Realm II and Stronghold for many, many hours. I really despised that aspect with the military campaign in SH.īut when you'd seige a castle in LotR 2, it's essentialy the same game. You could choose which enemy county to attack. And there I have to give the advantage to LotR, not SH. The main game of LotR 2 is the only difference between the two. Though to be fair, graphics are far less important to me than the gameplay itself. Sure, the graphics are dated, but it doesent take away from the gameplay.

The seige equipment, cauldrons of pitch and the like. I only discovered SH becasue I was looking for Lords of the Realm 2 maps to download. Same as SH.Īs far as comparison, the gameplay is almost identical. Only the economic side of LotR is truly turn based. I've played a total of two computer games.
