Lords of the Realm III features authentic medieval history, multi-layered strategy, and lifelike battle action rendered in stunning visual detail.

Launched in Fall 1994, the original Lords of the Realm from Impressions Games received high praise for its complete and authentic medieval setting, its modem-based multiplayer action, and its great balance of micro- and macro-management within a fun and challenging strategy game.

Two years later, Impressions released Lords of the Realm II, which combined turn-based strategy with compelling real-time battles and realistic castle sieges. Lords of Magic debuted in November 1997, uniting the best elements of the Lords series with magic and spell-casting.

Lords of the Realm III is the long-awaited, highly anticipated continuation of the award-winning Lords series. With its all-new 3D engine, easy-to-use interface, and real-time action, Lords III offers a carefully researched, richly detailed historical game of warfare and politics set in a beautifully rendered medieval world.

Authentic Environment

Do battle against the backdrop of medieval Europe, as you witness the rise of kings, cash economies, and the dominance of religion. Lords of the Realm III is true to actual history, with a unique, romantic, and earthy look and feel that separates it from other historical games.

Three In-Depth Levels

Build castles and amass resources on the Kingdom level, then besiege castles or engage in open-field warfare in stunning visual detail on the Combat level and engage in diplomacy on the Political Level. Lords of the Realm III offers all this, presented in real time.

Realistic Combat

Repel castle attackers with boiling oil, catapult farm animals atop charging armies, and experience all the brutal tactics of the times as you lead knights, archers, and peasant foot soldiers—each highly individualized—into raging battle. In Lords of the Realm III, the sights and sounds of battle are rendered in all their realistic detail.

Playable Noblemen

Begin as a English, French, or German lord or lady, winning clergy, burghers, and knights to your cause. Enter alliances with neighboring lords to gain political and military advantage. But be mindful of the motivations of each group, and be prepared to suffer the consequences if a pact is broken.

Advanced 3D Engine

High walls tumble to earth, flames billow from castle stores, and steel clashes with steel in this startlingly realistic re-creation of medieval warfare. Zoom in or out, or rotate your view of the battlefield a full 360 degrees—Lords of the Realm III's advanced 3D engine plunges you into the midst of the fray!

Castle Editor

The Lords of the Realm III Castle Editor lets you construct castles to defend your feudal domain. You can select from a variety of ready-made castles, or design your own. Designs range from early stockades and stout stone Norman towers to the grand Edwardian castles of the early 1300s.
