Hey EaglePrince! It's been ages since we last chatted, mostly because of the shutdown of Stronghold-Knights. A great idea to bring this idea back to life! I've recently gone back to Crusader's trails and campaigns, and am having difficulty with the Tyre mission in the campaign in which one must gather 1500 bread. I will see about putting up some screenshots and some text here, once (or if) I beat it. I wonder, has anyone else had difficulty with that mission?

I'll be there, unless something unscheduled and unexpected happens. :)

Seems I won't be able to attend on Sunday, but I will be able to today.

The only way (that I know of) to play Stronghold 2 and Stronghold Legends multiplayer is by the in-game multiplayer lobby, hosted by GameSpy. So, nope, you don't need to be running GR while playing. :)

Timing sounds good. I like the werewolf and Saxon warrior as well, and Ice is my second favorite faction. Those witches and giants make some pretty strong enemies.

I was about to suggest Legends myself. It would be fun to play as EVIL [insert maniacal laugh], and use those pesky vampires.

Welcome! Fate of the Dragon is a great game that I haven't played much of, and nobody else that I know of that is interested in RTS games or the Three Kingdoms history era has heard of it before. We must speak of this game more later. Your Stronghold maps, from the minimap, look fine. I've messed around in the map editor from time to time, and it is really quite hard to make terrain as well as some of the top-tier eyecandy map makers out there. I would consider myself an impressionist in the map making art; getting the general idea across for a map without looking too cube-ish is good enough, but also to make the maps fun to play on is perhaps more important in my eyes. If you want any suggestions or playtesters, I may be able to help a little there. Best of luck on the creative end! :)

I've been offline for a while, but I should be able to come on the 10th. Hopefully the connectivity is decent. Even if not, it's worth cramming in as many games before the shutdown. The date seems a little close for comfort, and it'd be nice to have a last hurrah on this game I've really only recently grown to appreciate. :)

I'll be attending. This is a great map, so anyone even slightly interested should join us. :)

Indeed. Good game to our worthy opponent Aleks. :) Now I will have to convince him to register an account on here.

Erm ... looks like I crashed to main menu ... :(

Sure :)

Indeed. One of the guys left, if you didn't see.

Thanks. That's 1 PM my time, so I'll try to be there. Feel free to continue without me if I'm not there at the exact time (I'm always early or late). :) I take it that we'll be using patch 1.4.1 - I'll need to warm up a bit tonight at the old SH2 strategies. ;)

Is there a specific time frame during which this event will be taking place? I have failed to notice if there was one posted. Then again, twenty-four hours of Stronghold wouldn't hurt. :)

Hello - I was just looking through the FireFly website today, finding a thread about the condition of the old Stronghold-Knights (on which I was a moderator in its final days) with a link to this Stronghold Nation website, which looks promising. I couldn't bother with creating a thread, so I apologize if this post's location is inappropriate. I play all of the Stronghold games except Kingdoms and SH3 (although have played them in the past), myself preferring the first two installments of the series. I even have a copy of CivCity Rome floating around in one of my desks. It pains me to have been brought to inactivity along with the majority of the Stronghold community, however my reappearance has begun here, and I hope to become a contributing member. Some may recognize me from Stronghold Heaven, Game Ranger (on which I played many-a-game of Crusader), or somewhere else - indeed, I am a man of many hobbies. Thank you, in advance, to those who read.
