It had gameplay issues, but I loved the style and think it deserves more love than it ever got.

Its name was fitting, since you were a Lord with a Realm that historically accurately happened with no Elves. The second game in the series was also a good example of the Total War model and was Total War before Total War. It plays nearly exactly the same as Rome, with little armies walking around with movement defined by the units in the army, and then it had real time battles with environments based on the strategic map. I bring this up now because of last weeks brief mention of Lords of Magic (a fantasy/rpg spin off) and because of the name thing. The point of Lord of the Realm was to be the Majesty/King of the land. Lords of the Realm was a game that could have been called Majesty but wasn’t.

I would had explain Majesty (2)'2 game mechanism a bit more at the start of the podcast. For some time I ask myself what's so special about it and explanation came in parts (flags etc.) later then.

Perhaps a pre-edit copy of the show before it goes live? If I can help out anyway, let me know. Troy, thanks for your kind words.
