Well, that is pretty weird. :)

I would strongly recommend not buying online after what I've heard about ShellShock (the newest super computer virus) over the weekend. What are your thoughts, opinions.etc on ShellShock? You can follow the link for more info. EDIT: Edited post to make sense in new thread.

This sounds pretty good! I'll have to download it sometime and play it soon. Challenge accepted! :)

That does sound good, I must admit it's something I've greatly wanted since I first played Legends when it came out.

You knew I would answer before I even read the thread, didn't you? ;) It could be implemented fairly easily, but it's not at the top of the list right now, there are lots of more important things to get completed (such as the merging of the gallery and the main site for example) That's a minor job, but I'll add it to the ever growing queue for you.

Yes, you can manually install the patches from our download section. You're only forced to using steam. However, you do have to reinstall the game in order to alter patches added.

Thanks David, this really is, very helpful! :) I think this is probably the most detailed review I've read on it, it definitely deserves a rep point from me. The bbcode for tables is something that the forum by default, just doesn't have and there are no mods for it either so we're kind of stuck at lists.

I've split posts #14 and #15. There is no real cut-off point between on topic & off topic for the rest so I'll leave them here as it would be otherwise too tricky. Split thread: http://forums.stronghold-nation.com/topic/285-population-limit-for-players-castle/

I've bought it but haven't received it yet. I'll post in this thread when it comes.

Off-topic, isn't this thread going? Let's keep this on topic folks, it's not going anywhere. ;)

Maybe player created maps would be better for playing SHC2 then, since you can add estates in those but can't use estates when they aren't there... Personally, I'm looking forward to see what maps people can come up with.

Well, I can see good and bad in that - it stops players from mass producing in one estate (like me) but it's too standard and would be better just putting a limit on carter posts.

What time is this event in Germany so we can add that to the list of Global start times?

In SH2 I only really used moats for stopping enemy troops from getting too close to my walls, I rarely used them, only if I had enough gold and space. But they were certainly very good, and something which I hope firefly add in to some update later on down the line. The walls I have heard somewhere (I can't remember where) can be broken down by troops.

I like pitch, I use it 80% more than moats, so it's not much of a disappointment to me - though obviously moat is better than nothing, just for the sake of variety.

It wasn't so much the thread content, it was the way it was phrased which made it harder for anyone else to respond or discuss it as it was a single statement.

Can you place extra carters in estates or not?

I think that's pretty disappointing actually. I much prefer the carters from SH2.

Please post threads that don't have much discussion value over the PM in future. :)

The games are like this for a certain way; they are ordered by their release date, so naturally since SHC2 has been released last then it's at the bottom of the list. I admit that it doesn't quite feel right down at the bottom but I think it's the best way of ordering them.

Thanks Mathew, all the categories above are now ready for uploading!

There is a download section (below), but since I haven't yet received the game I don't know what categories to add in, otherwise they would be now. They should be added in shortly. http://www.stronghold-nation.com/downloads/category/stronghold-crusader-2/

Well, good luck, hope you pass your exam! :)

Well, I've ordered it from Amazon, it should be here by Saturday. But I won't be playing online then, I want time to get to know the game first. And next week I don't have any time to play any multiplayer games. But I'm sure we'll all get to eventually :) Thanks for sharing that image @Nigel, that looked like one awesome battle ;)

I think it's pretty impressive that they managed to get a patch out already to fix some bugs - I'm going to be getting it shortly after hearing (tonight when I get in if I can be bothered) it looks pretty good so far! If anyone is interested in writing any articles on SHC2 that will appear on the main site, you can PM them to me & I'll add them for you :)
