Unfortunately, you cannot design new castles or strategic-level maps, making it impossible to create new campaigns. You can customize skirmishes, and even build battle maps using the intuitive map editor. In this mode, you can choose either open field battles or castle sieges, then play the battles with a computer-generated army or your own composition. But the best feature in SP is the Skirmish Mode. In addition to new (and much improved) random events such as embezzling, there is a new terrain feature in battle maps: a pitch, which can be set aflame, adding a strategic angle to battles. The designers turned the difficulty up a notch for the new campaign, making it very challenging for LOTRII veterans. Among the additions are: a more challenging AI, a custom series of games, 20 new maps, a map editor, faster Internet support, Skirmish Mode, sieges with 10 new castle designs, as well as enhanced diplomacy and more random events. Siege Pack adds much more to the game than new maps. Read our review elsewhere on this site to find how great LOTRII is :)
An excellent expansion pack to one of the best medieval strategy games ever made, Siege Pack adds a lot of new scenarios and options to Impression's classic Lords of the Realm II.
