I'm up for one today if you'd like? -
Good picture, it made me chuckle a bit. :D

Yes, in Stronghold 2 it's much easier to unlock stuff but in legends firefly have upped the game quite a bit. Unfortunately all saved profile data has been compiled into a little .dat file in the profile location: Documents/Stronghold Legends/Profiles/ It's quite infuriating and does have more chance of corruption, but there is nothing I've been able to do to actually be able to get access to it. Everything, awards, missions unlocked, trails unlocked .... Everything for a user profile is stored inside that .dat file there. As you rightly mentioned (and I'll explain this part for the benefit for other users) the only known way to unlock everything in Stronghold Legends is to download a mission which has been saved, load it in your game and let it win. You can download the 'ultimate bundle' (all saved missions and trails in Stronghold Legends) here by @Floki.

Yes - I'd like Europe to unite together and work to help tackle different problems .etc, but NOT through political union, which is all the EU stands for. This was originally its origins, but since it was created tariffs have gone down considerably and it no longer makes sense to not make your own trade deals .etc. It's a mistake to join today, in my opinion. It's a good thing that we've left.

Stronghold 3 - current state: performance and multiplayer
Lord_Chris replied to EaglePrince's topic in Stronghold 3
I've tried multiplayer before with @Nigel, it's really quite good actually - not lag or anything, fairly stable from what I've seen. If you'd like a game sometime, you could try to create a Gaming Event and I'll join. -
Fixed this problem. Thanks for letting me - and apologies it was so difficult for you to upload your file!

This is definitely not the case, I certainly don't think England owns everything in the UK at all. I believe we're all equal not matter which part of the UK we come from. Well personally, I really do not see a single benefit of being a member of the EU. I've looked into this for a very long time now, and I really cannot see a single benefit of being a member, it's all disadvantages. However, I'm speaking from the point of view from the UK. If you're in another country, or a poorer country, then you will have a lot of benefits because you'll receive a lot more funding. But from the UK's point of view, it's a terrible organisation to be in, with no advantages at all. Actually, the media are VERY biased to remain, every single news channel, most the Newspapers, most officials, nearly all Politicians. etc. I'm surprised that we left considering just how biased they all are - Sky, ITV, BBC, all terribly biased. I never said they would have to create all their laws from scratch, what I meant is that they'd have to create all their own laws by themselves, and not have any of ours, maybe it was bad wording on my part. Yes. But this isn't a large amount and doesn't even cover all expenses, it covers approximately around ?2,000 for a single year, or over a two year period. So when you compare that to the ?9,000 or ?10,000 tuition fees, it's not an awful lot. I'm not comparing Scotland to Turkey or Macedonia; what I said is that they will probably need to wait a similar amount of time before they actually will have joined the EU properly. For now, I'll leave this discussion open, as @Lord__Ship says, it is useful for people. But if it does degenerate into name calling, etc (which was where I feared it was heading) then I will close it. I respect everyone's opinion, even if I don't agree with it, I only hope people do mine too.

Stronghold 3 - current state: performance and multiplayer
Lord_Chris replied to EaglePrince's topic in Stronghold 3
I think your video card could well be the problem :( We don't actually have an article for the minimum requirements for each game, but I think this could be a very useful addition to have. Adding it to the list, will let you know when I have completed it. -

Yes. if they go independent, they need to do everything by themselves. They'll get no resources or grants from the UK Government and all laws .etc. need making by themselves. They'll need a new currency and a financial plan on what they can do to ensure stability. Scotland, for example, based its 2014 plans on Independence on selling Oil which in 15, 20 years will have run out and then their economy will be in a very dire situation. The oil price has also dropped considerably since then so it would have been an absolute disaster. And of course, and independent Scotland would also want to join the EU, so they would also have to put into account all the contributions to the EU, and the money lost from the pesky EU regulations imposed on businesses and other areas of society. For the whole of the UK for example, at the moment the 100 most costly EU regulations cost British businesses ?33.3 billion a year. Scotland does host some Military bases, such as the one used for Trident, and while that can be seen as good for the defence of England as a whole, by leaving the UK that will be moved into England and that would cost a lot of jobs in Scotland. As far as Scotland is concerned, I don't think it would be very successful at all if they left. The bulk of the money the Government gets comes from England, and a lot of this money goes to grants for Scotland (and I also think, but not as sure, Wales and Northern Ireland). So it's the English which are giving them grants which in turn make their Universities free. People in England have to pay ?9,000 for a single year, and a course usually alsts about 3 to 4 years, which believe me is an awful lot here for a student. That's not actually true. If Scotland becomes independent, they need a stable economy for five years before they can apply to join the EU. And that can take decades to actually join. Turkey applied in 1987, I think, and countries such as Macedonia have applied in 2005. But all new countries which join the EU now have to adopt the Euro, which is a disastrous currency. But at the moment, it's the UK which is a member of the EU, and it's the UK which is leaving. Scotland would have to re-join as an independent country.

That's very unfair of you calling them uneducated, everyone has exactly the same right to vote, regardless of how much education they receive. 16-17 year olds really do not know what they were voting on, and the vast majority just don't care regardless. So that I do agree with, I don't think they should have been given the vote. Regarding the immigration levels, they will change if a proper government changes them. The fact is that now we actually have the power to change them. That's the key point. Personally I see why Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland, want to leave the UK, and I can see both ways. I personally would rather they did not vote to leave, but I can understand it if they do. I would like us all to stay united. I think this has been made a lot worse by the Government's reactions to people there wanting to leave as well. I believe that we should all have the Westminster Parliament, and I do believe in devolution, but proper devolution, where it is done effectively. The devolution at the moment just isn't done properly at all. What I would say is have a central Government in Westminster, and a Parliament in each country (other than England) where they decide a lo more things, but things that make sense and that don't impact the rest of the UK. In short, they should have free roam providing it doesn't contradict another country's system. For one point, and this does irritate me quite a bit, Scotland, for example, get free prescriptions, and free Universities. But the UK Government gives Scotland a lot of money, and this ends up paying for such things while in England we have to pay for Universities and prescriptions. I'm not against Scotland having this, but I am against us paying for it while we have to pay ourselves. I think it's really ironic that people who want Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland for that matter, want to come out of the UK to be independent and set their own laws, but they're more than willing to go into the EU, which takes away much more sovereignty, is less accountable (in fact not at all really) and is further away from them than London, in a real foreign country ... :rolleyes:

Simply put, because EU citizens are sent immediately to the front of the queue just from the part of the world they live in. Non-EU citizens are sent to the back of the line and it's much harder for us to get them into the UK. I'd like to have a system where people in the UK only decide who can come in or not. I'd like to end the free movement of people from the EU. The EU does not reform. We've tried to do this for 40 years and have failed every single time. I haven't actually seen this interview that seems to have caused so much uproar, but Nigel Farage never promised the ?350 million a week. Vote Leave promised ?100 million a week. I haven't ever see anyone promise all ?350 million on the NHS. It wasn't a massive influence, there are far more reasons that just this. It's not just us who don't like the EU. A majority of people in Greece, Sweden, Spain, Cyprus, Czech Republic and Germany to name a few [source] And Nigel Farage isn't even in Parliament or will in any way be affiliated with the Government, or have any decisions on how this will be spent, so I'm not sure how you work that out .... More control over our borders is literally that. More control. It's the ability for our Government to control our borders without freedom of movement of people from EU countries. A few small amount of people in the Leave camp may have suggested this, but this is by no means what the majority wish. More control means the ability for a democratically elected Government in the UK to decide whether we want more migration or less migration and not to be controlled from by Brussels. There is nothing wrong with this, there are over 200 countries in the world but only 28 (now 27) have chosen to give up control of their borders to a foreign unelected power. There is some confusion on this subject, we are allies with Europe, and we will remain allies with Europe. But what we do not want is to be in political union with those countries, and for them to govern us. I will ask you to cool things down a bit, some people who read this and who may support these political parties or points of view may be offended by this kind of attack on them. This is a stereotype which is simply not true. Hold on a moment .... the value of the pound fluctuates all the time. The reason for this particular drop is because of people selling off shares fearing economic destruction (by the predictions from the Media .etc.). Because they're selling off shares, more people sell of shares while the economy is not doing as well (which remember, it fluctuates), they buy them back when the economy is doing slightly better and make more money. This is what is happening here. This is a natural occurrence; the pound drops to support the FTSE and things are at a slightly higher level than they were in February, actually. But this is wrongly used by the media as directly linked to Brexit. But if you think logically - we haven't even left yet! We only voted to leave, we're still in the EU, we haven't even invoked article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty or anything. Everything is exactly the same. The reason for such a big drop is because people were expecting a remain vote to win (and the value was doing better), and when leave results came in it dropped further than expected. But, more to the point; we're going into a period of uncertainty where we don't know what our trade deals with the EU will look like. The value of the pound was overvalued anyway. It's fell and this will make our exports cheaper. It's better during this time. But as I said, the media are causing panic (because they are pro-EU) and directly linking this to the EU referendum and predicting doom and gloom. I feel by this, you're implying that these people are racist or (as I've heard a lot) "want the country to return to what is was before". it is partly that they want the country to return, but not for the reasons you think. These people have been alive before we joined the EU. They've seen the damage it has done to our country, our industries, how we've lost our sovereignty and ability to control our own lives, and they don't like foreign powers telling us what to do. The amount of people who you think are doing it for the reasons you think, are a very small percentage indeed. By contrast, young people have never known anything different. They were born when the UK has been a member, they don't know how much better things were doing before we joined. And Labour certainly don't help this phenomenon, blaming everything on the Conservatives, rather than where the blame really belongs. The Conservatives are partly to blame, but the EU has played a fundamental role in the destruction of our nation state. We will do much better once we have left, once we finish this period of uncertainty. Of course people who have never know anything different will not feel as strongly about leaving as older people. They don't know how much the EU works by stealth, lack of democracy and how terrible it is. And also how the same arguments are repeated when countries want to leave. When Norway voted on EU membership, EXACTLY the same arguments we're having now were told to Norway: no trade, isolated, insignificant, wrecked economy, no jobs, businesses will leave .etc. And now Norway aren't in the EU, it's rated one of the best countries in the world to live, and one of the richest. So is Switzerland.
