I played the SNOT out of this game in college. Heck, my roommates and I fought over who'd get the computer to play this. One friend macro-managed everything and another micro-managed each individual person to set up the perfect position. built huge castles and dared large armies to attempt to overthrow them.
This is one of those games you will keep picking up and playing year after year
This game is great—fantastic combination of tactics and logistics. Balancing production, happiness, and military is difficult and rewarding.
Only problem is the micromanagement. When growing wheat, you have to make small adjustments to the number of people growing grain in each territory in each turn, or else you get wasted labour or an insufficient harvest. Why not just have a button that allows you to do the minimum required work to harvest the entire crop? It'd save so much time.
Yeah, LotR 2 in worthiness is equivalent to Heroes of Might and Magic 3. It's that crazy good, except it's just half turn-based, but then half RTS at it's best.
1. Strong realistic medieval vibes rush you down
2. Gameplay has set to 4 seasons
3. Pure resource and human power source management in town
4. People can be sorted what they have to eat each season
5. Siege has major spotlight both on attack and defense
6. Compatible to most technical circumstances your PC is at right now (Don't blame GoG for it thank you! Be creative about solving your problems!)
7. Taxes are realisticly beneficial to a kingdom ruler and peasants indeed will pay decent amount if life is good in their given county
8. Game teaches you to learn how to think
9. Sierra's RTS gem of all time, never seen anything similar getting released these days
10. Customizable game scenarios you can setup your games to and play them
Beautiful game! Heavily recommended aesthetics belongs to your game library.
