As a whole, Lords of the Realm II remains one of the best combination of TBS/RTT game there was until the coming of the Total War series. All the ingredients are there from the strategic management of your realms (taxes and so forth) to the real-time warcraft-like battle sequences. It remains to this day one of the best LAN-party experience I've had. The way turns take place simultaneously and the timer you can activate takes care of those suffering from analysis paralysis. I highly recommend!
Bought this game a few years back in a bargain bin. It's one of those games I had little to no expectation for it, and it blew me away. What I like the most is the story. It's good, a bit daring, and rather pertinent in this day of age. For the price they're selling it, you'd hurt yourself not to try it!
