Yes, as stated by the message you got when the upload was complete, the file needs checking first by a moderator. I can see it in the download queue waiting to be approved but am rather busy at the moment, thus am unable to check it today - maybe another staff member could check it today, otherwise it may not get approved until tomorrow at some point. Here's the message again in case you'd like to see it:

Thanks for that tip - I've added it to the article :)

Added to the list :) I also think that you shouldn't build a siege camp close to enemy units so I've added that to the list.

This is a note for anyone now wanting to use the 'my files' update link: This is now fixed.

How about no intentional, consistent use of burning carts? That would allow a one-off maybe, as I do feel it's not something we shouldn't completely stop but can be unfair at the same time. See the difference is, I'm picturing it as being you attack, and the enemy ambushes you with burning carts on the way to their castle. But if you go into the enemy castle with burning carts then that could be unfair. Which scenario exactly are you referring to?

Really? I can't remember where I got it from, but that clearly demonstrates my lack of knowledge in SHC. I'd created a new category in the SH1 section called "Miscellaneous" and moved it there, thanks for that. :)

If I'm not mistaken, the 1.2 patch is in our downloads section, I think I uploaded that so you should be able to manually patch it no problem. You're fairly familiar with the registry, have you tried removing the data from there associated with SHC, copying the game files to another location as a backup and then attempting a clean install?

Interesting, I hate having the grid on, I much prefer just looking at the map. Maybe I should try it sometime.

That sounds great @EaglePrince, I like the idea of templates - PM me with what you have in mind and we'll talk a bit more about that. You can use the different game view modes at the below link, these allow you to view the game in different ways, which may answer your question. http://www.stronghold-nation.com/article/64-game-views Well, EalgePrince is once again, our Winner! Congratulations EaglePrince!

That should be added. I've seen people do that before and it's not fair at all. Blocking passages to the village by placing buildings is ok, but blocking the flag pole in the center isn't. Added to the list. Maybe putting a limit on would be better than banning it altogether, it's a strategy of killing opponents - not really cheating, as you've mentioned. How many would you say we should limit it to?

Burning carts are just a strategy that players can use, I don't really believe that there is anything unfair about them, like Assassins for example - providing they're not in mass of course.

Psst! Beheading them wastes good torturers! They could be used for armourers instead :D

Yes, that's a bug. I have no idea why, clearly it's a fault with Safari somehow. The OP now reports this problem fixed. Closed.

It may only have done something for @Mathew Steel if he enabled the final thing, I'm not sure whether he did do that in the end. But those errors are pretty self-explanatory, I was expecting something much more obscure than that. The actual error dumps will likely have the date in, in some kind of format, most likely as in dd-mm-yy (or another way with dashes). If they're not somewhere in the my documents folder, I'd try looking in your program files steam folder.

I'm looking forward to seeing this set-in-stone now, it's looking good! :)

Welcome to the forums! :) It was similar at times in SHL, when random events came on that didn't sometimes relate to the game you were playing. But... it is random. You may like to upload some files to our downloads section, they sound pretty good! The SH2 editor is definitely the easiest to use of all of them, I have to say I'm disappointed that the newest isn't in the game, though and is harder to use. SH2 had everything structured easily. SH2 is easy to mod, that's what I love about it so much - so you should be able to add those creatures in - in fact, I have a tutorial on the main site here which shows you how to add SHL units into SH2, it may help you with that.

That's exactly my view on steam; it's a complete waste of time energy and resources, and is made purely to help the developers and not the end users. At least if this does happen, there is a small chance it may improve slightly...

I changed the polls yesterday and haven't yet manually updated the database. It should be done soon, probably not in enough time for this month, though. was winning with 3, [user]Mathew steel] with one. If you post your reply that will do for now :)

I've just approved it now - it's pretty good, the terrain and landscape are definitely good - more so for that editor. I like what you've done with the water level - with it being lower than the land in certain areas. :) Link to your file: http://www.stronghold-nation.com/downloads/file/192-flooded/

Fair enough, I didn't actually know that - I do think it would look better without the outer wall though, I don't feel it looks right, but maybe after it's done it will look better. I am definitely looking forward to seeing it completed, though. :)

That looks very good! I do have one thing to say though: Why is there the wall around the fields? In the real Minas Tirith, it was just the edge of Osgiliath and then open fields until the gate of Minas Tirith.

If you like, I'll edit your post and add it in if you give me the link.

Stronghold 3 has been officially abandoned, so no more updates will be added. But I think the "gold" version of the game is the final update, which is what I have.

You can tell that it's been rushed, but everything I have played in the game seems to work fine. I haven't had any crashes, but I haven't really played it much. I've mainly played in the sandbox mode. In my eyes, SH3 is a peace game really - which is fairly good because you get a good chance to build up villages in different environments, take screenshots.etc. Because there is no skirmish mode, there is no way for you to battle opponents but if you occasionally want to just build a settlement, then it's the game to play. As I've mentioned, I've never really played it, but I'm sure I could fit a game of MP in at some point.

I vote for defending - because there are far more attackers than defenders and it will be much more of a challenge. Regarding skirmish/non-skirmish: How about creating a map for each type and then you can request play testers to see which is better?
