For custom games, a slew of new maps has been added, including some that are unrealistic yet challenging (such as “The Snake†which forces you to work through each province sequentially).
New random events have been added, as well as a new terrain feature in battle maps (pitch, which can be set aflame). In the new campaign (as befits an expansion pack) the difficulty has been ramped up. Granted, there very well may be enough here to encourage you to break out the CD and reinstall the original. But those people who did enjoy the old original will likely find a thing or two that will entertain them here as well. The main gripe that one can levy against LOTS II: Siege Pack is that it was never really called for considering the mediocre success of the original. In a siege, you can end the battle by capturing the enemy's flag or dispatching all of your opponents soldiers to the great big Realm in the sky.Sierra’s Lords of the Realm II hit store shelves, was accepted by gamers as a solid but not outstanding title, then quietly faded, as do the vast majority of games.
