That's fantastic @Andreas9541! If you don't manage to get it all finished on time, it's still ok for you to upload it. :)

That the players can expand easily from their own castle into places into the map, that e.g. defence structures can be placed, that the boundaries of each estate are wide enough that space should never be a problem, especially for defence.

Your challenge for this week is: Make a skirmish map in the Stronghold Crusader 2 editor named "The Dangerous Wilds". The map should have many tributaries, build a landscape that can be expanded into by the will of players, design high mountains, make glorious ruins. Make the map divided into several areas to explore, and expand!

Yes, Congratulations @Nigel, fir getting all 3 points. :) I've taken the first entry you added (dugin_02.sh2) because it's the one which you were closest, you really did do well on that one! The second one was unfortunately just too late, but you also did a good job there too, it is a very rough map. You just missed out on the first one, really unlucky!

Maybe. :) There are 2 more contests for Stronghold Crusader 2.

Your challenge is: Reconstruct a Crusader States Castle from Medina. Information: Requires clever use of construction with regards to water. Heavy use of Double-walls. Moderate trees and bushes.

Congrats for getting an entry in. This was an exceptionally hard challenge, so I can understand you not beating it! [user]eagleprince], I hope you can manage to get an entry in today. :) Last chance for entries today!

I'm sure your map will be great as well. While we can't mark it here for this challenge anymore, you could upload it to the downloads section and we could rate it there. :)

That sounds really unfortunate @Nigel. I've attempted this map myself in the past and did really well, right up until the point where my game crashed. Every subsequent attempt after this also crashed my game, so I never managed to complete it. :( If no-one can actually manage to complete it, then if you upload the game where you got the furthest the person who got the furthest (and quickest) will win.

Hi there @Steinhardt, Sorry for the problems you've been having. I recently updated the forum three days ago and this is why the error is now happening on the site. I thought I'd fixed all of the problems that were caused on the main site, but it seems I had missed one. I do apologise for this, this error has been fixed now. Let me know if you're having more problems.

It's completely up to you! I've also added an image to the original post of the castle which should help you a bit. :)

I don't believe there is a version of Stronghold Legends on Mac. In regards to multiplayer, Stronghold Legends multiplayer is now managed through Game Ranger.

It was the incorrect challenge I posted, so I changed them when I realised.

Your challenge is: Create Pontefract castle (1070) in the Stronghold 3 editor. Useful resources Information: Located in West Yorkshire, England. No Water, Some Trees and Bushes.

Great, thank you. And it's wonderful to hear everything seems better for you than they were. :)

I was referring more about how to actually make a tunnel work with an entrance. We do have an article on secret passages, [ see here ] but I just can't understand how to make entrances to those passages. I've tried for hours and hours, but have never been able to get anywhere.

I've never actually been able to understand how to build a tunnel entrance, although I've tried many times I just can't work out how it's done. Would you be able to provide some kind of example map for this?

Your challenge is: Complete the Stronghold Crusader map Adnan in the shortest possible time. The player with the lowest time wins. http://stronghold.heavengames.com/downloads/showfile.php?fileid=7173 Note: Your entry must be attached to this topic by Midnight on Saturday to be counted in this challenge (1/10/16 23:59).

Congratulations @Tokamaps, on a truly five star map! The landscaping of this map was extremely impressive, one of the best detailed maps of that size I've ever seen. The animations .etc. at the start were also very good and set the storyline well. You hereby win this challenge, and receive 3 points! Could you also upload this to the downloads section - I think a lot of people would like to see this map. :) Also, if you send me a PM with the title you'd like, I can get that changed for you.
