RafaelLopez: It's a real good old game, five stars.
In my opinion this game was largely replaced by Knights of Honor, which is basically the same game revamped and all over Europe, but it's still ultra-buyable.
I'm still recovering from the shock, I never hoped to see this game here.
Hmmm. I wouldn't say Knights of Honor is the same game, as that one traded resource and peasant micromanagement for more variety in the buildings and a better diplomacy system. However, they indeed share some similarities; the battles are very similar, and there are regions in both games, complete with destroyable spots and extendable castles.
But you're right, the LotR pack is still ultra-buyable ;-).
