Well, your other map has also been approved now, so at least it's turned out alright in the end. Thanks for uploading it! :)

Yes, it's slightly slower than the rest there, it's off the extra data it now loads (the user avatar, rank, online status.etc) I've already added it to the list of things to optimise, I'll have a another go shortly but until that time we'll just have to stick with it. @@EaglePrince: That's great news. I've added a one for comments/reviews now, when a new comment or review gets added it will appear as "New Posts".

Voting has started - see first post.

Clearly, there has to be some kind of tool that will allow you to place buildings for different factions and it defaults to the player. But where it is I don't know - that's obviously what's causing this error. I don't think it's a bug, especially if you said you could place buildings for estates in another map.

No problem, sorry for misunderstanding. Would you be able to upload the second one again, I removed it as I thought it was the same? - Apologies for that.

So they're two different maps? I just assumed they were the same map but renamed when you said "new map" and removed the second one you uploaded when I renamed it. If they're two different versions of the same map then just update the first file and upload a new archive for it. First map renamed again to "Two Lands"

Only staff can rename files, change the download category/section - I've renamed your old one for you.

I've removed it for you. :)

Yippee! Thank you for submitting your file, here is the link: http://www.stronghold-nation.com/downloads/file/180-xiimarcleon/ Would you like me to remove the attachment from this thread for you?

Ok, try now. I think I've now fixed this...

Ah right. The functionality is there, but WinRAR has automatically defaulted the file type to open with it. I've changed some code. Check and see if it will upload now.

What version of Windows do you have? No right click -> send to ->compressed (zipped folder) I'd be both surprised and disappointed if that's not there.

Can you try without WinRAR and Windows' built in zipping function?

http://www.fantasynamegenerators.com It would be better uploading it to the downloads section, it would get a lot more attention. But it is up to you :) That is also one good map. You should be proud of that.

I've attached the file to this post. real_map_11.shmap

Yes, they are under a village, "Estate 9". But even though I placed the buildings for the village before the territory was set to the village, when I delete the buildings the colour underneath them is white - so it appears the transition between the castle to village should have been successful. Regarding "Estate Markers": Which menu are they in and what exactly do you mean by them? If they're in the "markers" menu, I've placed the maximum amount and nothing has changed. I'm pretty sure they're event markers.

Since the crashing issue does not occur on my machine, I do not know where the dump will be stored. My best guess will be in your my documents/Stronghold Crusader 2/XXX folder.

Stronghold Crusader Stronghold Legends Stronghold 2 Stronghold 3 Stronghold Crusader 2 CivCity Rome The Settlers Heritage of Kings Empires Dawn of The Modern World Imperial Glory Prisoner of War The Great Escape (hardly play now) The Settlers IV (hardly play now)

I have the free version of it and it works fine.

The ultimate goal is to place a building that belongs to an estate in the editor. I've created the estate successfully - the game recognises the village as being a village. But buildings placed there belong to the player, and not the estate. If it's an obvious error, please just shout "you're stupid!" and I will thank you heartily. But I've been on for three straight hours now, and nothing has changed. I've checked the team alignments. There are no scripted events. In the game the player can't place buildings in the village (or the opponents estate) so it's definitely recognising it as a village. When no buildings are placed, the village does nothing. Is this even possible to pre-place buildings for estates?

Having multiple anti viruses on your PC does not benefit you in the way you think they would - they tend to conflict with each other. This explains a bit more, note that this is only one paragraph from three. Source: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/186533/is-it-bad-to-run-multiple-antivirus-programs/?p=1046121 Viruses are very explicit in what they do; the whole purpose of a virus is to destroy things on your computer and cause damage. Therefore, they're very easy to notice. Malware is what you should be concerned about. Malware is the main thing that you get on your PC. When people say "I've got a virus on my PC", nine times out of ten, it's malware. Malware is much more sly than Viruses, it tends to do things so that the user won't notice them. It depends. And it's very hard to tell. A site does not often jump out saying "Hey, I'm a malicious site" to you. But it isn't just malware - it's whether the site itself is vulnerable to SQL Injection. It's hard to explain without getting complicated, but essentially, data is stored in a database. To get data from that database, you need to use SQL queries. Some sites that don't validate what the user posts to them correctly are susceptible to this because the queries can be modified by an attacker (don't ask how, it gets pretty complex). If this is the case, then all the information in the database (such as names, addresses, emails, phone numbers.etc) will be available to the attacker. Lord Vetka's reply is spot on here, using PayPal is great because it doesn't mean that you have to give your details to every company you buy from, the transaction is sent through PayPal. MSE is by far not the worst, but it's certainly not the best. It's fairly average I'd say actually. I really think MalwareBytesPro is probably the best kind of thing for that - it even picked up stuff in my registry that security essentials (or windows defender as it's known in Windows 8) missed. I pay nothing. Everything I use is free (or at least a free version, such as MalwareBytesPro) I find that free stuff is often just as good or better than commercial software.

Holiday = Vacation - or at least in UK talk ;)

Indeed! Enjoy your holiday. Are you staying somewhere local or going abroad?

If it's not a skirmish map, have you allowed the use of walls?

Actually my game arrived yesterday :D I haven't really looked into the files yet but that was one of the first ones I came across earlier. Do bear in mind it's likely to not be readable information (i.e. as in "Failed loading game".) It will likely be something like:
