I like your map, you made those details quite well. :) I like how you made the entire terrain - how you mixed up those different terrain types making it look really beautiful. You did make elevation I was speaking about I could implement in some of my future maps - the west bank of the river on your map is a perfect example of what I had in mind. It's just one level above the river, and with those different textures and tiny details you made it so it doesn't look just flat. I also like the position on the hill above the sea, it's a perfect position for many human players while AI lord can also handle that position quite well - there is enough space for a small AI lords castle. I won't even mention that it looks epic - any castle on that hill will look amazing. And finally - the north-west position, it's also greatly done. I especially like how you made those marches there. By the time I see that I never knew the Stronghold 2 editor as much as I could have if I had. Whenever I would try to make a map I would settle with a "simple flat map", not knowing how much it offers. I know I was talking about this before, but I feel so sorry for not trying those things with the editor back when I was younger and when I had more time to play with it. Maybe we could say it is partially Firefly's fault as none of their original maps has as good landscapes as this one posted by Tokamaps, and they didn't show to people how Stronghold 2 Map Editor is a great tool. Still, this only applies to those who had the game but didn't have internet - whoever had internet he was able to download those beautiful maps made by the best map makers, and to see examples of what can one do with this editor. :) I don't know about you guys, but I'm looking forward to next Stronghold 2 challenge. :) Making those maps is quite enjoyable and relaxing.

That's great to hear, thanks! :) Also no need to hurry or something like that, I was just curious about that matter, and I wanted to suggest that it may be better if some new theme would be also dark like this one. I myself, just like every other member, am grateful for what you do here.

Hey, me again about this... :D I just meant to ask if it is possible to add another theme such as pantherone, only darker? I mean, if that can be done easily, of course? The only downside of pantherone is that its background is white and letters are black contrary to this one, while people here - when we write we care about this default darker theme? Then Crusader's History tread would be more easily read from mobile. :)

Oh, and I wanted to say one more thing. For example, I know I could have used different elevation levels, that can make things more interesting! For example, roads can be really awesome like that, and rivers can also look pretty cool. I will try that in some of my later maps. If there is anything else that you can notice I missed, please let me know, I may not be aware of that. I will also go through the articles again to see all the tricks you were writing about, I could find some of those useful and make maps even better. :)

I have added the map.

Here is my map as well. I tried to do it by implementing those ideas I saw at Vetkas maps, but I didn't know how much time I am going to have, so I worked less with elevation. Nevertheless, the map is not completely flat, I hope it looks natural, and that it will be exciting to play. I saw Nigels map, his idea was to make a balanced 1v1 map. I made a map which would be better to be played against computer, but it would be interesting to play with human players as well, only it isn't balanced. My idea was to remake an old map I created when I was younger - it was a map that I lost: it had two sides of a river while in the middle on river island there were outlaws. A downside of this map was that, if I put an AI lord such as King or Hammer, they wouldn't be able to develop their castles due to outlaws attacks. They just don't train troops that they can, they wait until they can train their best troops, and they fail against those early attacks. This time I made positions differently, so if one wants to play against Hammer he could put give him Olaf as an ally, and Olaf can defeat outlaws easily. So, this map is for me to feel less sorry for losing my old map - this one is similar in its design, while it has some stuff fixed, and in this one I implemented what I learned here at Stronghold Nation. Oh, and damn, I just took a look at some stuff here, and I saw how I could make my map somewhat better... :D So... I'm not submitting my map yet, but until I do that - you're going to be able to see the minimap. :) It seems that I'm going to spend some time reading those articles by tokamaps over again, just as I am in the mood to play with the editor, but not for this map - for this one I'm going to do a little adjusting. :) EDIT: I have attached my map. :) SECOND EDIT: Now after making few changes I am submitting this new version of the map. One villages is now set to produce iron instead of three types of food, and outlaw castle got a gatehouse. THIRD EDIT: There was an unexpected problem with the second version, in that version map has only two castle estates, so I'm bringing the fixed version. "Dolina Odmetnika new version" is bad. Download "Dolina Odmetnika fixed version". Hopefully Chris could remove "Dolina Odmetnika new version". Dolina Odmetnika.zip Dolina Odmetnika new version.zip Dolina Odmetnika fixed version.zip

Actually, it could be better for me (this time) to play after this weekend. Now after I passed that one exam I have another one, but this time I'm not that near trying to pass it. Now I need to do a quick reading of the subject during this weekend, but I do feel more relaxed at the moment. :)

It was about the sound, the sound was set to 0. :)

21:30 would be fine by me. Still, we shall see if that fits others. The best would be if we could start about 20:00.

Thanks, that could be the issue. Maybe music is louder or it could be that sound effects are on minimum.

It's the map I've almost completed. :(

Yes, I did. In the editor.

Do I smell mercy..? :D Or maybe not. :D

I tried inserting some sounds into my map, but by now I haven't heard anything, I only hear the game music. Is there something wrong? I clicked that sound icon in the left part of the screen near the minimap in the editor, and I was inserting different sounds into the map. Maybe it will work, it's pretty late by now, but I just meant to ask because I am going to be busy tomorrow, and it may be too late to ask tomorrow evening about this, as we need to do this until Sunday. :)

Hi! Is it possible to surround outlaw camp with walls and make them a game so only them would be able to use it, or at least to make it so anyone can go through? :)

I have made a map, but I still want to see if I can do some more things about it. :)

For me it would be fine to play until 24:00 Central European timezone, though it would be the best if we could finish it until 23:00.

You're welcome.

Indeed... Well, truth to be told, I was surprised that I was able to upload that there even before. Try this one: Mod edit: Removed link to software

Here is another one. There seems to be a problem with dropbox link... Sorry, and I hope it's going to work now. :) Mod edit: Removed link to software

Welcome to Stronghold Nation, my lord! You can use this link to download Stronghold 2 Manager: THIS LINK Keep in mind that it will be most likely reported as a virus by your antivirus, but it is not the case. I'm sure you've read that already though... Mod edit: Removed link to software

I could do it on working day as well. :) Maybe it would be better to see about that option then.

I agree! I would be glad to play a game - no matter if it all vs AI lords or against each other. However you like it.

Oh, I know, it is an interesting one as well. :)

Well, those interesting missions are yet upon the brave lord. :)
