Stronghold Legends multiplayer again!

Whoops, thanks for bringing that to my attention. I completely forgot to enable the site again. You can now upload your map, sorry for any inconvenience :) Looking forward to seeing it, that looks really good!

Thread merged with "Stronghold Europe" in Site Questions and Support. I think that at the moment, considering some of our download categories are practically empty (most in some sections) we should wait until we get more files, and more widely spread before we make any decisions such as creating more categories that may just remain empty or nearly empty - especially since the forum has so far had no turnout. In the meantime, you should upload any stronghold Europe files under another category for crusader, but make sure to type that it is for stronghold Europe. If we get about twenty to thirty files that are worth a category of it's own, I'll consider it then.

That is one thing I debated about, and many of the ranks are taken from Stronghold 2. Some others were also taken from these pages (initially where the peasant came from) : http://www.elftown.com/_medieval%20ranks http://www.medieval-spell.com/Medieval-Army.html I tell you what, time for a contest: http://forums.stronghold-nation.com/topic/183-help-choose-new-user-group-ranks/ :)

We are considering changing the user titles on the site, and you have a chance to help! All you need to do is post below with the title you think a user group should get (or the amount of posts that a user should post to get that title) and you could have some ranks named as yours! Example: Knight Bachelor [currently knight] Knight Errant [64 posts] Good luck! The contest will take place until the 20th July, after which the management team will deliberate upon the entries and the new ranks will be revealed! Choose the amount of user groups or ranks you would like - good luck :)

To save any confusion of user group colours, we are slightly changing the group colours. The staff colours are still the same - Administrators are red, global moderators are dark blue, moderators are green with supporters as pink and former staff as cyan. The same goes for new members, they will remain dark green when registering. But for users who are above the rank of a Peasant (new member) they will remain a standard colour which will stop any confusion. To this rule, there are two exceptions: The "Dukes" user group will remain gold, and the "Royal Guard" (contributors) will remain purple.

No that wouldn't work as the game installs to your hard drive and therefore, for everyone. You can choose whether individual users can use that application, but it will be installed for all.

That isn't currently an option, and I don't really see it as something that is essential - plus I don't really think it would look very good. The divider would still be in the same place and it would look odd. To be honest, I think it's probably harder to do than it's worth.

Ok, the lobby in gameranger is up - my username is [sHN]Lord_Chris and the password is "shn".

I wouldn't know anything about multiplayer as I've never played it. The campaign I've only loaded for a quick check, and it appeared ok for me. I haven't heard anything about that archer issue, nor have I encountered it myself so I can't understand that. I mainly play on free mode or just built custom settlements and I like it from my experience - I like the way you can rotate buildings 360 degrees and the graphics is much better. The music could do with updating, as to me, it didn't sound right in SH3, and so could the troop speech, but from what I played I could see little massively wrong with it - but, I've only bought it within the last year and didn't get it when it was supposedly at its worst. Do keep in mind though that it was released early due to the press. It can't be that heavily modified as the game has been compiled and the source code can't be edited anymore. It would have to be decompiled (which is virtually impossible to my knowledge), firefly would have to release the source code, or they would have to edit it then recompile it.

I have the gold version, and in my opinion, it's pretty good - though I haven't played it much. It could do with polishing up slightly, and a skirmish mode would be nice - but CivCity Rome doesn't have one either. It isn't the kind of game you can constantly play, but it is worth the money you pay for it, just.

You can get GameRanger here: http://www.gameranger.com/download/ It's fairly straight forward to use, if you can tell me your gameranger ID I'll add you as a friend - that way it will be easier to setup games.

The map wouldn't be a problem, but it would be easier if you could upgrade your version for simplicity so we all have the same version - it stops bugs appearing (like for example when I modified my game and my stockpile had a second floor viewable by all players :) ) I haven't tried playing SH2 with different versions now that multiplayer is on GameRanger, but it may work. You can find the patch updates here in case you decide to update: http://www.stronghold-nation.com/downloads/file/25-patch-1-4-update/ http://www.stronghold-nation.com/downloads/file/12-patch-1-4-1-update/ How about we keep it for the same time, at 6pm UK time, 7pm Novi Sad & 9 AM for you?

If there's a time which works better for you let us know and I'll see if we can re-arrange the game for then (or closer to that time) How about we try out the Arden map then? - The only issue is that there would be a maximum of three (I think) players on the map.

OK, just making sure - you can never be too careful from sites you've never heard of before ;) As long as it's legal that's fine.

Right, I just got a bit suspicious by the link containing "cd key". But you can guarantee that that game is a legal copy?

So this is some kind of keygen/pirated copy or serial key for the game?

We are launching a new award: the most active member of the month! This month, the winner has to be EaglePrince - he's nearly spent more time here than me! And for our Member of the Month, I am proud to announce it to our newest downloads contributor, Steinhardt! Congratulations to both of you, and keep up the great work! You really are making this site a great place to be :D

For a very quick map it's very good, loads better than some of the built in ones :) In fact, that's better than some of mine and I have to spend several hours on them.

Sounds like a plan :) If you wouldn't mind, that sounds amazing - and if it's a three or four player it could be good to play with when we have only a few players per map.

This is the one that we use most of the time in multiplayer as it's probably the best suited map (in my opinion). I haven't come across a map that's as good for playing multiplayer - but I haven't tried Lord Vetka's Arden map yet.

Unfortunately not, there is no auto save. Something I've wished for a long time was there but isn't. :( Check out @bradley0095's file paths and passages - we'll be playing that so that may fit your needs :)

18:00 In London. But... You're right, it is a bit unfair of me doing that. When would be best for you two to play?

The time is 6 PM (and the password shn) - by the second do you mean the second of July or the second game? The games are on the first and third :)

OK then, we'll continue the same time :)
