Virtually everything is improved this time around: gameplay, graphics, siege and battle engines, audio and, well, everything.

That's not the case in Sierra's sharp update to 1994's medieval strategy award-winner Lords of the Realm. Hope this helps, took me a while to get it going myself.Strategy games tend to focus on either micromanagement or massive battles, and no matter which one the game tends to focus on, the other almost always suffers. That should be it, you can launch via DXWnd or just launch the shortcut from desktop and DXWnd will intercept and run windowed for you. Goto Compat (compatability) All tweaks blank, Select 'fake version' windows 95, Goto DirectX tab, select automatic, Emulation SELECT 'Primary Surface', filtering ddraw default, leave surface handling blank, leave areo checked. ensure curser handling is Correct mouse position, the rest blank. Screen resolution 'SVGA modes' CHECK 'limit resolution' and select 640x480. Win Size & position SELECT 'Locked Size'.

Goto Video tab,window handling CHECK 'prevent win maximise'. Check 'run in window' & everything else in generic should be blank, check 'keep aspect ratio' leave 'hide desktop' blank.

Name LotR II or whatever, Both Path and Launch should point to Lords2.exe. However you can get this running in windowed mode using DXWnd.īe warned DXWnd isn't very user friendly but this worked for me on Win10 圆4 ġ) Download and install DXWnd (google it) its usually a good idea to run as admin (right click run as admin or goto properties and change there)Ģ) Navigate to your Lords of the Realm II directory and right click Lords2.exe, properties, compatability tab, uncheck everything, no win95, no 256 colour etc.ģ) Run DXWnd. Unfortunately the dosbox version doesnt seem to be part of gog download at the moment.
