Hey guys. I found that composer of this great music has created his own channel. You can hear ALL remastered themes here. ua-cam.com/channels/n9vTOVyhutuORP0fhb2kmQ.htmlplaylists
Thanks for link :) I love dos game music :D all old music i use this for avernum bgm now when play :) coz i love Scroll 1 HD xD Best Strategy game on win 98 :D
To this day, no matter which game I'm playing, whenever I'm about to exit and it asks me for confirmation, I still imagine that voice from Lords of the Realm 2 going "Exit the game, my lord?"
Had so much fun playing this game when I was like 13-14 years of age, back in 1996 through 1997. Massive pride I felt when, against many many odds, I vanquished all enemies on the Scotland map. For me those were the "lands" I felt the historical relevance of carrying out my gaming skills had to be weighted. And that awesome music indeed. Scroll 2 HD especially never grew tired in my ears... watching the pockets of wheat flourish, cows grazing, my armies marching in and out, the threats of enemies and witty remarks sent back when sending tribute over to, say, the Noblemen and Countess... Just loved rolling the pots of boiling tar /oil down my castle walls too. And setting off companies of crossbowmen to decimate infantry and cavalry :)
The gameplay was simple but pretty good... Famine and plague were indeed what really scared peasants. Getting the head of the local knight was very dangerous but possible, much better than facing a terrible death by starvation...
I work in a professional management with 5 people under my team. There are times when stress comes through and I tell my team to give me 30 minutes. I shut the door, open up lords of the realm 2 and play away. My boss knows this and does not disapprove. Ive been playing this game since 1998 and it still is just pure nostalgia. Great upload!
I cannot express in words the absolute love I have for this soundtrack, and game. I still play it now and then, and constantly listen to this OST over the years again and again. Lords of the Realm 2 FOREVER!!!
Scroll 1 brings me back to the first time my dad actually walked past while I was "wasting time" playing on the computer and stopped to comment "that music is beautiful, is this a game?", it was the first time he gave my gaming a positive reaction and it made me feel like I was doing something worth appreciating for what it was. I'll do the same to my son when he is old enough to play. Thanks for the childhood memories Sierra.
Scroll 1 and 3. The fresh peace of winter planting followed by the greatness of summer harvest! I can still hear my father from the kitchen when I was 17 yelling out "Your people are starving my lord!" every time I changed from cows to grain. Im 38 now and still playing it!
Actually these high quality versions was in a big ".WAV" file on the original game CD. I think it was called "pumkin.wav". The high quality version of the music was not used in-game, but if you explored the cd you would find a very big file and this is it. It's just a pity "Battle 4 theme" was not included in this WAV, and therefore neither in this UA-cam upload.
I was too young to play this game but I remember pulling a chair next to my dad and watching him play for hours. This music brings back memories that had been lost. So happy to hear this ost!!!
posting in the "playing LotRII with my dad" crew thread. this was the only game that ran decent on his Windows 95 off-white shelled office computer (with a turbo button and a keyhole on the front, as was the style at the time) and i spent a lot of time watching him play. my favourite unit has and always will be the Pikeman.
Joining the "watched dad play" crew here. I would go home to my moms (divorced parents) and play with Legos and pretend to be the units battling each other ARCHERS HO!
I often wonder if this game was the inspiration for the Total War games. It has a turn based campaign map and then a RTS mode for fighting the battles. Kinda makes sense.
Keith Zizza did an amazing job composing all of these. I'm amazed how he came up with this. Scroll 1 and main setup menu. Those tracks literally take me back to my early teens. I remember buying the collectors edition back in 1998 at Costco. It had Lords 1,2 and siege pack. Still have the box set to this day!
Such a great game. I remember as a kid I was pretty bad at it, so I would only play the map with 4 regions, against the Knight. I'd send him insults and smash his armies of peasants with elite mounted knights. The Knights were such a power trip in this game, lol. Good ol' days.
Me and my friend used to enjoy when we could send messages to the neighboring Kings. Like,"You are fat and you smell." and they would go to war with me over it. xD So many died all because of a few choice words.
@@Teliorus Indeed, we were just kids when the game came out. I'm surprised that by now it's not something more games have experimented with. Even if they never responded in a unique way, it was a scripted response. But it made us imagine things like our troops talking about what a crazy king they had. Like,"Well, looks like we're going to war again. Seems like our neighboring county didn't like being called "fat" and now we're paying for it. What is this, like the 6th time we've been at war for something similar? Here we go again...sigh...what a dick." haha All the while Scrolls 1 is playing in the background and we're laughing.
Yup this was on the original game CD in a file called PUMKIN.WAV. Too bad it didn't have all the tracks. I tried several times to contact the author Keith Zizza but to no avail. I actually made a track exactly like this and put it on UA-cam a long time ago, before they took down my entire channel over some retarded copyright claims. Glad to see someone else step up to the task.
Ah, yeah, I'd read about the pumkin thing. I've had the basic wav files in my music library forever, but I never noticed the pumkim.wav file. I need to go dig my disc out and find it.
I was listening to Jeremy Soule's "From Past to Present" and it reminded me so much of (what now I see is) Scroll 1 HD I had to look for it. Great memories. 1996, my first PC.
I think Scroll 3 may be favorite if I had to choose. I like the Scroll series of songs though in general. It's got a good tempo, like something you'd hear in some mead hall.
I use the gog version on Windows 10 but there's some kind of glitch that causes it to use 100% of the CPU. So I set my "Power Saver" mode settings to max the CPU at 5% of it's full speed and I switch to Power Saver mode before I start playing. It happened on Windows 7 too and the glitch followed after the upgrade.
It's hard to catch because as soon as you minimize LOTR, the CPU usage goes back to normal. I was able to tell because as soon as I started up the game, my laptop fans would spin up and the area around my CPU would get hot. Limiting the CPU speed in the power settings fixed it.
@@Teliorus they still love the game although my daughter is into this game more than her brother. I say this because the kids shouldn't be playing this game but they do love the music, the drawings and characters, the movement.. they just love cheesy 90s graphics. I hope all is well! There are rumors btw of lords of the realm 4 in the making. But as a indie self start and wont be named Lords of the realm 4.
For the few first time I played the game, I never knew I had a quary on my field so it was always off. Took me over 2weeks to realise It was an actual unit. "Quarry On !" "Quarry off..."
@@Teliorus I came here because there was a reference to this sound track in one of my dreams... In the dream there was a nob between this game and another, that somehow the sound tracks were connected, that one came from the other. The only way I can describe it is a giddy explosion. In that moment I felt like a little kid on christmas morning... Might need a shrink to explain that one... xD
Can someone please educate me on when the game decides to transit between Scroll 1, 2, 3, 4 and finally, 5? I think it had something to do with the number of royal castles you own or something...
It's so sad that "Battle 4" doesn't exist in 44.1 khz stereo!! Definitly my favourite battle theme. Scroll 3 is my favourite map/building theme, and thank god it's in HD :-)

Awesome
Many thanks!
Thanks a lot...
There are so many OLD GAME BGM fans here.
To this day, no matter which game I'm playing, whenever I'm about to exit and it asks me for confirmation, I still imagine that voice from Lords of the Realm 2 going "Exit the game, my lord?"
this intonation of speaker... :)
I'm not alone then, brother.
I know, I love how his tone of voice is almost incredulous. Like "Are you serious, sire?"
Long Live Lords of The Realm 2! One of the greatest Real Time Realm Strategy Games!
There are more of us? 😱 me and my brothers always say it. Thought it was an obscure reference. Made my day 😁
Had so much fun playing this game when I was like 13-14 years of age, back in 1996 through 1997. Massive pride I felt when, against many many odds, I vanquished all enemies on the Scotland map.

TO THE MOAT!
"Exit the game my lord?" NEVER!
This game's music soundtrack is Sierra's masterpiece. Well at least in my opinion. "Giggle!" ❤
There is no opinion here, that is a fact.
Scroll 1 HD always comes back in my head when I least expect it.
"All your people are fed by dairy, my lord..."
A year old comment. I'm aware.
I have to ask. Was that a bad thing?
Every time I played, I always ended up with that.
@@tailgunner2 easier to sell the cows 🐄 and go to grain. Start by buying from the merchant to have some extra stock
@@tailgunner2 to his point, grain is better. Frees up labor during summer & winter for timber/mining/quarrying...
"Your people are unfortunate to be ruled by you. When I take your lands, they will finally know greatness!" 🤣
Slaughter these villagers?
"Once a peaceful village hamlet, rightly fearful of invading forces. Now a cold and deserted place."
Do not slaughter the villagers. Destroy these crops, my lord? Yes, and watch your enemy deal with a rebellion
👍
The gameplay was simple but pretty good... Famine and plague were indeed what really scared peasants. Getting the head of the local knight was very dangerous but possible, much better than facing a terrible death by starvation...
how does it effect if i slaughter them? less population?
I work in a professional management with 5 people under my team. There are times when stress comes through and I tell my team to give me 30 minutes.

Thanks! Nice to see LoTRII true fan.
Play for 30 minutes? my shortest game is 2 hours, I like to drag them out in all kinds of scenarios and make myself work a bit!
Scroll 5...every hair on my arms gone vertical, what a grandiose piece of music.
Same
I cannot express in words the absolute love I have for this soundtrack, and game. I still play it now and then, and constantly listen to this OST over the years again and again. Lords of the Realm 2 FOREVER!!!
8th wonder of the world :)
Scroll 3 - definitely the most epic one.
I feel scroll 5 more epic : like "you're into the game, crown is about to be put on heir's head, play well, kingdom's fate is in your hands !"
Completely agree. I actually came here just to hear that, haha
20 years later 'Battle 3' still gives me chills down my spine.
Feel the same way about 25:34
"A band of Irish mercenaries is available for hire"
I'm French, and when I read your comment I hear the EXACT WORDS and the EXACT INTONATION used in French soundtrack
Scroll 1 brings me back to the first time my dad actually walked past while I was "wasting time" playing on the computer and stopped to comment "that music is beautiful, is this a game?", it was the first time he gave my gaming a positive reaction and it made me feel like I was doing something worth appreciating for what it was. I'll do the same to my son when he is old enough to play. Thanks for the childhood memories Sierra.
10:46 "Feed your peasants... right-click... cattle..."
2:21 "Yes sir? FOLLOW ME!!!"
22:10 "Welcome to the Lords of The Realm II..."
"Your orders my lord?" "Draaaaw swoooords!" "what now?" "MAACEMEEEN! FOOOORWAAARD!"
OH MY GOD, I can hear his voice!!!! [The cattle voice]
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaarchers! Ho!"
"We'll be shot to pieces!" - sending peasants into battle
"you're ugly and your mother dresses you funny".
OK, not an actual audio, but still memorable.
Scroll 1 and 3. The fresh peace of winter planting followed by the greatness of summer harvest! I can still hear my father from the kitchen when I was 17 yelling out "Your people are starving my lord!" every time I changed from cows to grain. Im 38 now and still playing it!
Thanks for your comment. It's nice to read another story about LoTR player!
Everything was better back then.
Not everything. Accept the inevitability of the progression of time.
The remastering on this is awesome!

FOOOORRRWWWARRRDDDDDD !
"Your people are diseased my Lord."
Buy ale. They got COVID but there drunk and happiness goes up.
I'm commander Shepard, and Scroll 3 HD is my favorite track from the 90s.
A marvelous choice!
helps that this is my favorite track.
16:37 is great
Exit the game, my lord!?
COW BONANZA! "Your dairy farmers happily report an unusual number birth of cows this season"
does anyone now where i can get the sheet music for scroll 1 and 2

Great upload! This game is an oldies gem! Replayed it sooooo many times and yet I've never heard that bonus track before!! Thanks for that!!
LET'S GET DIGGING
POW
ALRIGHT
I often wonder if this game was the inspiration for the Total War games. It has a turn based campaign map and then a RTS mode for fighting the battles. Kinda makes sense.
I'm agree. Total War games were based on the second LoTR. Definitely.

thanks for putting this together!
You're welcome! :)
Realy thank you man the tears of nostallgia was shaded ;* )
Teliorus , yes thank you!
Your orders my lord? LETS GO!
loved this game back in the day!
Yep! Lords are epic! :)
This game is sentimental to me. I used to watch my grandfather play it all the time.
All your people have Covid my lord...
"They all want to be king. There will be dark days ahead...😁
Memories 😊
That bonus song kills me xD thats the whole game in a nutshell
Scroll 1 is by far my favorite on this soundtrack!
Me and my friend used to enjoy when we could send messages to the neighboring Kings. Like,"You are fat and you smell." and they would go to war with me over it. xD So many died all because of a few choice words.

@@LucidDream Normal letter, what a consequence :)
@@LucidDream I die from laughing my ass off that was fucking sick xD !
The flute at 13:47 brings me great joy
This vs EU4....there was something charming about simplicity
I still play these melodies on my trombone. I never got them out of my head.
Props to my Fellow lads in 2022 Who Remember the Struggle for the Throne of England!
*Raises Goblet to my Fellow LoTRII Fans*
Love this game so much, use to played it all the time when I was a little kid.
@7:00 the rush of hearing units dying from a shower of arrows as you dig through the moat or push through a breach.
Still mad they fkd up LOTR3...
Baron: You must learn to be a man. Bishop: The Church has allowed me to reclaim my lands.
This is fantastic. Did you remaster this yourself or find a source for higher quality audio?
I found these tracks in the game folder. Some of them were in HD quality but not all.
Yup this was on the original game CD in a file called PUMKIN.WAV. Too bad it didn't have all the tracks. I tried several times to contact the author Keith Zizza but to no avail.

A true dungeon synth classic
My childhood
This was a fantastic game. I still have the CD. I wish I could get it working on my current computer.
Which errors are you encountering?
Actually I took care of it. I had to download a special program from sierrahelp and now it works fine.

17:51 music change when you build your royal castle and your enemies lay siege. Its on!
I loved this game back in the 90's.
I didn't know there were HD versions of the songs! These sound so good!
Battle 1, at your service, come on lads
1:35. Always looked forward to this in battle
3:24 is a soundtrack that I hear in my head when I am in a rush to drop off my kids at school... My kids are 5 & 6 Years old and they love this game!

WAY too short.
Keith Zizza is a fuc** genius
Yes.
this game had serious passion put in
battle 2 used in hamas propaganda video lol its a dope track
sad! I don't have time to play this game anymore... I love it!
Feed your peasants to keep them happy and multiply
I like the song at scroll 1 hd
For the few first time I played the game, I never knew I had a quary on my field so it was always off. Took me over 2weeks to realise It was an actual unit.
"Quarry On !" "Quarry off..."
Many thanks!
For all its faults, this game is still better then a lot of the modern games... Just wish it had multiplayer that worked...
Old games have a soul. This is a rare thing in modern games.

i always liked battle 3 the most
it shows dynamics of the siege
“Slaughter these villagers?”
When does Battle Theme 5 play? That one doesn't sound familiar.
It's from Siege Pack. It's "Dlc" for LoTR II
+1 for the bonus song

Good old days, scroll 1 is always in the heart
Once skipped riding on a Mardi Gras float in Endymion to partake, “To the moat! Pikemen? Ready”
16:03 lord of the orb
Draaaawww swords!
Scroll 5!!!!
Takes me back.
I love this game... music is so beautiful
Waiting for remake
they need to update game and remake it for the new computers.
It's so sad that "Battle 4" doesn't exist in 44.1 khz stereo!! Definitly my favourite battle theme.
Scroll 3 is my favourite map/building theme, and thank god it's in HD :-)
It exists, search for Keith Zizza's channel here on UA-cam. He composed many Sierra games soundtrack, including LOTR, and uploaded his remasters
i would of love to see game of thrones throw a nod at lords of the realm
Battle 2 always got my amped up.
Really wish Battle 4 had a HD version as well.
Here i am once again in 2021.
