Good ol' Mitford-town
I bought these for my wife, who loves the Mitford / Father Tim stories. The author's sense of humor & ability to tell the stories of the people of Mitford are quite amazing. Characters? You bet. Good stuff? That, too. If you want a good tale over a multi-book format without all the murder & back-stabbing of today's literature, Mitford is the place to be.

The title is what it is; the middle of a 3-movie story about Bilbo Baggins
I'm a Tolkien freak. Putting his books on the screen in the quality I see is a fantastic view for me, and this set was new high-quality DVDs that played wonderfully. The extended version is the better one, at least from this Tolkien freak's point of view.

Beware, this game is addictive
2 of 2 found this helpful They vastly improved over the original game, & not just in better graphics. Lots to consider, many details, so if you're not into management, kiss it off.
One thing I really hate: The game springs stuff on you, such as the Pope allowing countries to attack YOU, but you can't retaliate without excommunication; Merchants ripping off your Merchants; & ganging up on me with 3 countries while hitting me with the Black Plague (My army drove my finances $20k in the red really fast when my "earning" population died off).
Still, I am winning bit by bit.
Strategy is good, too. The terrain you're on is what you'll see on the battle map, so if your enemy is uphill with artillery, you're sunk (or vice versa).
The AI is pretty good, too. Cavalry will charge unprotected archers, sweep on end runs, etc.
You'd better have a good mix of troop types.
One hint from what I learned: you never have enough generals, so send 'em around like itinerant preachers to set up a build in a city & move on to the next (you can't control that without a general).
Altogether, I like the game (I'm still playing it).
Hope this helps.
