I have good news! :) One of the original fans of the mod sent the installation file. :) This is where you can download it from, but be aware, it is likely that your antivirus will detect it as a troyan. I believe that this is nothing harmful, and I will try it later. Right now I don't have the other PC of mine here, but I will have it tomorrow, so I will try it then. Another issue is that they said it works with 1.3.1 version, so I am unsure whether this is going to with 1.4.1 version, but we shall see that. Even if it doesn't we are so much steps ahead than we used to be, and yes - many of us are able to reinstall the game and install the 1.3.1 version to have fun in multiplayer. Also, another thing I would love if we could manage to solve is to get rid of the exe file if possible but that would exceed my knowledge. If there is anyone who knows how to extract the exe file maybe it would be possible to make a mod which wouldn't be feared to infect a PC, and we would be able to learn some more stuff about the mod.

Just came to say few words... Yesterday game was exciting to me. I would like to hear other opinions as well, but I will tell a short story from my perspective. We were playing with no attacking until we were all dukes, and when we all became dukes it seemed to me that surprisingly I was the strongest one although we were all realm close to each other. Mathew didn't get any village while Chris got only two of them while I had four of them, and there more empty villages between us. I liked it on this map that we were not close to each other, each of us had enough space and we had enough space between each other. I think I made my map well, as this was its first multiplayer testing. First I attacked Chris, he lost one of his villages then, but I didn't manage to kill him. I was too slow and I didn't notice his weak point, but even if I had noticed them, I would hesitate to kill him. I felt it was too early and he just didn't manage to build everything like he does usually. Unfortunately for me, when I did attack the castle he trained more crossbowmen and knights, and there was no way I could kill him. I don't want to say I spared his life, it is likely that I would manage to kill him even without hesitating, but this taught me not to waste my chances. While I was in the attack Mathew was raiding Chris as well, but he was trying to raid me with few peasants too. He also had a group of knight which came into my lands but I stopped them. Later I attacked Mathew, I failed again, so after that defeat Chris attacked me. He was stronger then. Also I was foolish to send the lord outside along with some troops he he got killed. :D I was disappointed at the moment, but it was fun, and although I needed to be more careful, I am satisfied how I played the game. I only needed to get better production, but I haven't been playing in a while. Later Chris killed Mathew too. I'm looking forward to play another game like this some to later. :)

I'm planning to play, but I said that just in case I don't make it to finish something. :)

Oh, I worked and I switched the days (in my mind) yesterday... I'm sorry, guys. Nevertheless I may come this evening, at least to watch how you are doing. :)

I like what I just read here. :) See you tomorrow then. Oh, and by the way I passed my exam. :) These is another one I need to prepare for soon, but I will give my best to do a lot of work during the day before we would play.

Later would suit me better, I shall need to prepare for the exam. :) In fact I am not scheduled to pass the exam but to try to pass it, and I hope I'll make it. :D

On august 12 I have an exam scheduled. I may not be able to join, but maybe I could one day or few days later. It's been long time now though, I think it would be better to start a new game though.

Davids idea does seem good! Maybe something like that can be implemented. For example, we could simple add a rule that the defender can try to kill the opponents lord. This way there could be more battles on the field, or before the attackers camp... There are a lot of things we could do.

Thanks for helping me with this issue. :) In fact this is just the kind of help I needed - to see what are experiences of others with those portable chargers. And yes, what he sold me would be something like universal (portable) charger. It's not the same brand is my phone is, but considering specifications it should be good. Later yesterday I tried to charge the phone again from the portable charger it now I didn't have that heating issue. Now I wasn't using the phone much: I wasn't browsing internet over wifi, nor using Viber or any other application which would require some more of phones resources. Also when I tried it yesterday I tried it without the protection mask (the silicon one) so if it was heating a little - it was cooling more easily. Special thanks and regards to you and ladies of your kingdom from a small country that fought war against duchy of Graph Theory and empire of Universal Algebra. :) The was is going well so far. :)

Could someone say something about power banks, or as they are also knows as - portable chargers? I have bought one for my new phone but I got feeling that it overheats the phone while charging. Is it normal for them to warm up the phone while charging it? It is not the case with my original "normal" charger. Also, are those bad for the battery? With previous phone I used to have two batteries to switch them if needed one of them used to be 100% charged in case I need it, and I carried both of them with me. :) Also. If my origins charger has 550mA output, wouldn't it be bad for the battery to charge it by portable charger with 1A output? The thing is that the guy in the store was politely explaining me that I have no reason to worry and that heating while charging the phone with a power bank with more amperage is no big deal, but I am unsure whether he was telling me this only so I would be satisfied and so I wouldn't want to return it to him asking for money back or something else. In my opinion I would have right for that as I said "I need a power bank for Lumia 532 DS", and he said "this one is good for all smartphones", thus possibly misinforming me. Thanks in advance, guys, and I hope it is a good thing to ask this in this tread. :) ADDITION: I'm charging it again now from the power bank, it seems to be fine now. Maybe I had this issue yesterday before I was charging it AND I may had several applications running such as Viber (which I dislike pretty much :| ), Internet Explorer, etc... while having wifi on too. But the question still stands: how good or bad is it for battery life if it has higher amperage than the original charger? :)

Also, we may want to consider the Templars Nightmare mod? I am sure our friend who made the,mod would love involving the mod in something like this. I didn't say the name worrying to write his nick wrong. :D He did bring another attributes to troops as well, right?

I am unsure how interesting could that be cause I still don't know much about troops in Crusader 2, but if they don't have any rock/scissor/paper system I fear it wouldn't be that good. I've got feeling that they made it just like: men-at-arms < macemen < pikemen < swordsmen < knights ... But I still know very little about those, and true - they do have their special abilities. Maybe it could be interesting because of that. :) Also, another thing we could do is playing with small castles with setting up a limit to number of buildings and troops as well - hoping that this would motivate players to build troops other than knights. :)

Indeed, and even the old players may easily come to conclusion that they have removed the old forum.

It looks nice, although I would prefer if it was easier to access the old forum from the website. :) I didn't manage to find the link on my own - I saw that it's still there after getting some notification from the forum.

Thanks for that information. Although I don't have much time for that, this is really great, and who knows. At least I can use this to get some resources for making those minor stuff I like to do now and then. :)

Thanks, I'm glad you like those. :) A friend asked me to create a face for Lord Baelish, I believe I will do that in a day or two.

There are few more crests and faces I created. I hope you will like them. Some characters are famous, while some other are not, but you can always use them in multiplayer for fun. :) Here are faces with links to the faces.bmp files. http://serbianwarlords.webs.com/apps/blog/show/42303292-stronghold-crusader-faces-and-shields

Indeed. We are here ready to help, but you only need to be more specific. :)

I am sorry for not giving the feedback right away. I tried what you said, and it worked, only it was late and I was tired. :)

For the next siege I hope to see more knights in your castle or something like that, so we could see even more those skirmishes. :)

It looks indeed interesting, and I really like the idea to remake the Pigs castle from original Stronghold. I hope to find some time to play it soon. :)

I agree, that's the same numbers I had in my mind. :) Only I was thinking to put 10 saves to be kept, although that could be to much maybe... Autosave is a good thing to have in any other game too. :)

Thanks for detailed explanation. I will try to do that, and now when you mentioned it - now I remember I was also doing this in Stronghold 3. I'm not on the right PC at this moment, but I am almost sure I will make it. Nevertheless, I will let you know. :)

Hi guys! I played Crusader 2 last night, and at some moment the game crashed. This thing itself is no issue - I'd just load the autosave, but... the autosave was off so I wasn't able to do that. I started the mission over, and later I won, but I was saving it manually - just in case... If I recall correctly last time I played it autosave was working? Is there a way to turn it back on? Did Firefly disable autosave during some patch, or I just messed up those stuff with another Stronghold game? Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Mathew! I have heard about SSD and HDD before - here and at other places, but now my understanding is a bit more complete. :)
