Doesn't work on Windows 10?

What? I installed it, the when I lauched it it told me that I need to install the DirectPlay or however it is called, I did so and when I launch the game again it crashes... It happens only with Lords of the Realm 2. Lotr 1 works.

64 bit error ?

I played this for years. Every change in the parameters changes the whole game. My last disc of this game I bought here. Except I cannot get it to run on a 64 bit system. Since I got this machine for game play and dumped my older ones, I have the disc but it does not run. Any fix for this ?

Very obtuse, heavy on micromanagement...

... but so, so satisfying to master.

oustanding game

You know there was a time when games had to rely on more than graphics and flash. I belive it was something called 'gameplay'. Yeah, that's the ticket! While far from perfect, this game kept me busy for hours, contstantly tinkering with each different region, adjusting this, tweaking that, all the while worried about the threat of invasions? Excellent game. Thanks GOG for bringing back a true classic.

Love this

I played this when I was a kid... And it never gets old. I just wish there were more games like this and Age of Empires, Empire earth etc.
