LoTR2 doesn't work at all for me (windows 7) and I remember it being pretty good. LoTR3 .... works. that's the best thing I can say about it. No economy mangement... only one resource ... I bought the bundle on sale, not sure if any of the games will be worth the dollor or two I spent.. LORDS OF THE REALM 3 IS SURELY ONE OF THE BEST I'VE PLAYED SO FAR. I've bought this game for the first time in 2007 and liked it up to the point of buying a second copy of the game to play while I was a in a job trip just to keep playing. So, this is the 3rd copy of this game and I bought it on Steam just to leave this positive review and bring some justice to this, because truth must be said, this game were far overlooked and put down for a stupid reason: People buy it expecting a sequel to the Lords of the ream 2 (which I also have played long before), when it is not. In fact, Lords of the Realm 3 is far more advanced and complex in many aspects: the game dynamics is completely different, here you should deal with nobles of three types: Clergyman, Knights and Burghers. Each of them have different traits and qualities, providing bonuses or penalties to your armies and controled regions. The actions, decisions and conquests you make in game allows them to be invited to your court. Once they join your cause, they can be assigned to lead armies or regions. Also, Lords of the Realm III has a historycal approach through its scenarios, each of them having victory conditions. If you decide to buy, feel free to add me as a friend so we can play together sometimes.. I used to enjoy playing this when I was a kid , and playing it again brings back the good memories !~. Nope. That's all.. -Quick Review-Lords of the Realm III is a medieval economic and combat strategy game developed by Impressions Games and released in 2004. This was the third and final Lords of the Realm game developed by Impression Games, it was actually the last game Impression Games developed, trumpeting most people's opinion on this game.-Detailed breakdown review-Story: As is the theme for the Lords of the Realms Games, Lords of the Realm III takes place during the European Dark Ages. I'd love to say something very educational about the dark ages, but I'm not feeling very bright. *slaps knee*The only sense of "story" in Lords of the Realm III is in the text from the campaigns and battles where you're given a brief explanation, and sometimes a background of the battle or struggle you're about to participate in.For example, the text for the 1066, Hastings Battle gives a quick paragraph explaining how Harold of Wessex ended up fighting William of Normandy (William the conqueror).http:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=799561606Gameplay: In Singleplayer you have two types of game modes: Campaigns, and Battles. The campaigns are taken a step forward, and two steps back from the Lords of the Realm II days. As an avid lover of Lords of the Realm 2, I'm definitely biased when it comes to what I expected from the game, but I most certinly didn't expect that I was going to need to read a manual to understand how to play Lords III.I actually noticed for the first time in my life, that steam actually sometimes provides game manual links on the store page. Here's the link for the Lords of the Realm III manual if you want to get a hint about what you're getting yourself into: http:\/\/cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com\/steam\/apps\/254860\/manuals\/Manual.pdfLets break the mechanics down the campaigns to two simple game modes: 1) Fighting\/Battle and 2) Economic\/Political.Where the battles are concerned not TOO much has changed, you no longer can control individual units, but that's kind of to be expected in this style of game. I found myself comparing Lords of the Realm III to Medieval total war. The bad news is there are other games that do this style of army-combat much much better then Lords of the Realm III... like... the Medieval total war games!Don't even get me started on the tactical-battle camera controls, you can move the camera around easily enough, you can use arrow keys or put your cursor to the edges of the screen to scroll your view around. But do you want to rotate your camera?Guess.... Guess what you do? No really, my review will be here.........Scroll wheel? Nope. Click in the scroll wheel? Nuh uh. Hold down "R"? You're ready to 3d model in blender. Some type of click or click combo on the ground? Nope.Z. ....Z! You press and hold Z, and then your camera will rotate. I'm dumbfounded, I didn't figure it out until I discovered the manual on the steam store. (And yes, one could say "well, that's what manuals are for", but there are certain game genre's you learn there's a certain type of controls to move about in the world, and it's not like the scroll wheel doesn't already zoom the camera in and out. They could have bound that control a wee bit better and then you wouldn't feel trapped looking at battles in three quarters view for the whole danged fight, that gets tricky when seiging and you can't see behind the wall.)The Economics or political side of the game is where it really tanks the game for me. I've actually put off writing this review because I'm having a difficult time articulating and explaining how THIS part of the game even works. (And again... I played lords II as a kid and loved it, I played the first Lords game, and figured out the controls on my own and could get into it... but this game is... you just gotta see it I'm planning on trying to do a video review on my youtube channel, but I'll try to explain here in the mean time.)http:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=799561135Your food... religion, armies, and gold income are ALL based on serfs that act as province governors on your behalf. You juggle these suckers all over the place and set them in charge and then get the benefits of the serf you've put in charge. So if you want an army and castle, you need to put a KNIGHT in charge of a province. If you want to provide food for that army you need to put a Serf in charge of a province. If you want gold you need to put a Burgher in charge, and the last type of serf you can put in charge is a priest, because religion is a thing this time... and I haven't gotten far enough into a game to know WHY it's a thing or what it even does.I assume it would have an impact like in the total war series where people are more or less inclined to pick a fight with you if you're on good terms with sir Pope."Hey Atratzu, that doesn't sound so bad.... why are you being such a negative Nancy about this game?" Because that's just the first part, there are two "quality" levels of Serfs, Lesser Serfs whom are always available but not very effective and generally have many negative perks, and then "the rest of them". As you do well in combat more Serfs and knights of higher quality are eager to join your campaign.But now we come to the most annoying part: "How do you win?" You win a Lords of the Realm III campaign by controlling all of the states. Sounds pretty easy right? Definitely not, You, as the king or Lord need to wage multiple battles at the same time, IN REAL TIME, so you can be having some armies off batting each other in the faces with swords and arrows, and while they're doing that, you're firing one serf for another newer one which just popped up.Actually this is one of the highest PRAISES I have for the game, I absolutely love the idea of needing to multi-task your nation in this way. It would really make waging war a whole lot more complicated rather then fighting each battle yourself.So let me reiterate: While you're fighting a battle, you can join the battle and personally over see the fight or seige... but while you're in that view, time still goes on, and you could actually be invaded WHILE you're busy giving your undivided attention to a whole 'nuther part of the map.http:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=799562011Conclusion: Ugh, there's so much more I could talk about regarding the mechanics in the game, but I think this is enough to give people a general idea of my experience with the game. Even now I'm not really sure if I like or dislike the game. And to me that means it falls right in between, if we're being hard nosed then that means you should go find a better game. If you're feeling forgiving and just want to experience a different game, look no further! This game is for you!Lords of the Realm III is definitely a hit or miss for people. Some say it's the game they were looking for and don't understand why the negativity, others hate it because it's a disappointment compared to the FANTASTIC beautiful strategy masterpiece which was Lords of the Realm II. (I'm definitely exaggerating, Lords of the realm II had it's own fair share of glitches, but the sprites, music, game play, and strategies it implemented made it a charming and cult classic game, this one on the other hand, well... Like I said in the intro, the fact that this was the last game Impression Games made is more then a little revealing.)You're welcome to agree or disagree, you're welcome to pick this game up for yourself and give it a try, I'm giving this game a solid "Neither" for recommend or unrecognized.As always, thank you for taking the time to read my review! My Name is Atratzu, and I approve this review.. My father bought this game for me when I was really young and I played the hell out of it back then. I couldn't remember the name of it for the longest time but I finally found it today and grabbed it immediately. Amazing game.. Amazing Game. Hard to learn but amazing concept. I played it in childhood and it brings back nostalgic memories. Ah the good old days!. Terrible, just terrible! I had such fond memories of Lords of the Realm II that I figured what the heck I'll pick up Lords of the Realm III and see what all the fuss is about. I figured, how bad could it be... well, unfortunately it can be bad, really bad. It is hard to tell if this game was a cynical cash grab trading on the good will fostered by an established property, or was it (as I suspect) a game with greater ambitions which were just not realized when the final game in a series from a once great publisher and a well-regarded developer was rushed out before the walls came crashing down. The mechanics of the game are different than then the previous installment. Gone is the beloved turn based resource management game, replaced by a \u2018simple\u2019 vassalage system where you assign vassals to lands and based on their type and quality you to gain specific resources. With this new system it felt like you were thrust more quickly into the action. You can somewhat see where they were going, but it feels incomplete. This could have been a welcomed change to freshen up a 10 year franchise; but unfortunately it fell flat. I initially played 2 depressing hours of the game, and just couldn't force myself to suffer through anymore. I wanted to quit sooner, but I kept hoping beyond hope that it would get better and just kept giving it more chances and making excuses for why it just seemed so terrible. Unfortunately, that was not my final indignity; when I first went to post this review Steam only recorded I had played 1 minute of the game so I could not leave a review. Even logging time played is broken in this game! I decided to sacrifice my own sanity to get more \u2018minutes\u2019 in the game so I could leave a review and hopefully save another poor soul from my fate. Five depressing hours and I still had not logged to requisite minutes. Later I discovered that the game seems to merely log one minute for every time you launch the game (sometimes) and possibly only when Steam is completed restarted (I don\u2019t care to spend any more time to test this further). With all that said: The game is too simple, the controls are super buggy, and the combat is excruciating slow. Sierra had been sadly in decline for a number of years when this came out. 'Sierra' or 'Sierra Entertainment' as it had been rebranded the year before Lords of the Realm III was released had found itself under the rotating control of multiple parent companies starting in 1995. While things were good at first the changes in ownership seemed to doom Sierra, the once mighty development house. Lords of the Realm III was released in late March 2004 and the video game developer Impressions Games was shuttered in April 2004 by Sierra\u2019s owner at the time Vivendi Universal. If I recall correctly Vivendi Universal closed most of the game development studios they owned\/controlled around the same time. So, this game was released and then everyone involved was immediately fired. The Lords of the Realm Franchise could have gone out strong; unfortunately it ended on a whimper\u2026 a sad, simple, and buggy whimper.. Amazing Game. Hard to learn but amazing concept. I played it in childhood and it brings back nostalgic memories. Ah the good old days!
