this game masters of magic 2 and deadline 2 shrine wars and space bucks were the four games i remember loving but not really knowing how to play as a young kid. i remember just messing around with all of them and being blown away. That was at like 8-10 years old and they were always at the top of my list. It took me until 33 to manage to first remember the names which took a lot of googling and guessing and then to play them again and then lose them (space bucks) or have them for good (the other 3). Do to being a kid i never truly understood what i was doing then and that mostly carried over to 33 but now i'm at that point after a life of gaming to think i can figure it out and now i'm here nervous to learn but so excited to finally understand how to play. Can't wait to unlock this game fully
I would strongly advise you to try Remnants of the Precursor, or rotp for short. It's a recent indie game that aims to take the best out of Moo1 and Moo2, I've played tons of both games back in the days and RotP is such a godsend
I think this was my favourite game by an English country mile when I was a teenager. Fantastic game. Nice to see it again. Too bad I lost the cd a while back!😞. Thanks for showing it!
@@lukejuras8024 hey bro did it work on a basic modern windows computer of today? Or maybe Chromebook? This was my favourite game. I would purchase it in an instant if they adapted to mobile.
Yes there was a multiplayer mode available. I'm not sure why it isn't on this copy, since it is mentioned in the readme file. We got it a couple years after release as a discount CD only sale, so maybe Sierra removed it from those copies.
@@matthewinrealtime if you are doing videos in the future. And need an extra to help show off features in games. Feel free to contact me. I have no issue helping out 👍
If you're looking for a turn-based strategy game with more emphasis on expanding and advancement there's the Civilization series. The Heroes of Might And Magic series has much more focus on combat and customizing your military forces. And if you like Sci-Fi then I'd recommend Deadlock: Planetary Conquest.
I'd say most of the Total War series has a lot of the same concepts as seen here in Lords2. The battles are more complex but are the same flavor of RTS goodness. The turn based campaigns feel very similar to me between Lords2 and the TW series in general.
Thanks for making this video. Love everything about this game.
I'll never forget it. Great game. Loved this in middle school.
I just started this game on my channel last week, I love it.

It's great to go back to an old classic and finally understand just what it is you're supposed to do.
Masters of Orion 2 is another game to check out. It’s a space colony game. DOS
I've heard a lot about it but never played it back in the day. Definitely want to try it out someime.

I bought it on Steam last week for about $5, so you can get it there and play it again.
@@lukejuras8024 I’ll look into this. Last time I used steam was 20 yrs ago. Whoa boy I’ve gotten old.

@@matthewinrealtime check in game files. There may be a secondary link. As i believe it had seperate start ups for dos and for windows.
@@graberassadventures3539 That seems to be it, thank you.
