What matters is that you won this one, but I am sure that in some of the later battles will be less easy, and that you will be the one who would have to save your ally. :)

I did check in a store in my town, if they would get Stronghold Crusader 2, but they knew nothing about that. That shall depend of the importer. Still, that was in the same week the game was released - perhaps they would give me somewhat different answer if I asked them now.

Well, I can see you're pretty successful with that, xiiMaRcLeoN! Also, I hope Nigel made it to win, and that he was able to protect Sultana! :)

Great, I'm glad to see this! By the way, should skirmish and multiplayer maps for Crusader 2 be one single category?

He wants you to make the code like this: [url=http://forums.stronghold-nation.com/topic/297-signature-of-the-month-october-2014/][img=http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/ag401/K0MP4CT/SHNSignature2014_zps5b6a977f.png][/url]

That is nice signature Mathew indeed. :)

I'm glad to hear that - can't wait to see it. :)

I agree! I could be something like "miscellaneous files", so people could upload anything they want there, and which is not a map, or a scenario. ADDITION: You're welcome.

One guy tried to upload his map to our downloads central, and he failed. This is what he tells: I realize there will be many versions right now, and it might be hard to keep everything up to date, but could we at least remove this question, or offer some answer, such as "latest patch", or something like that? Or we could make it so they would be asked for the version, they select "latest" or whatever, and after that, they could type in the version number. Those are only some proposals, but I'm sure you know what to do. This is the topic from Stronghold Crusader 2 forum where I spoke to him.

Nice signature. :)

I just meant to let Sir DavidSpy that I have also published his Stronghold Crusader 2, as it is very informative, at Slavic Warlords website. I also put the references, I hope that all right? :)

I am creating this tread in order to help others in creating good looking banners. It is something that may concern with competitions for best signatures of the month, but it doesn't have to. What is my goal is to help everyone to create a good looking signature, and for that reason I proposed "soldiers from Stronghold" to be the theme of the competition, as I hope everyone will be able to easily create a nice banner. Image manipulation program I am recommending is GIMP, as it is free, easy to use, and it has many useful features. By those, I think it is a lot similar to Corel PhotoPaint or Adobe PhotoShop, although I cannot say it is better than those two. Another program I use for this is Corel PhotoPaint, so if you need any help with that program, I could help you there as well. I hope you all will feel free to ask any question you want. I'm not an expert, but I hope I could help.

I still do like Firefox as well. Also, it has some nice options I like to use. Internet Explorer does have addons, and those are the same addons that are needed to any other browser I think.

I believe it has to pass some time, until some more people get back to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately it is easier to get bad reputation, that to fix that bad reputation, and prove you're in fact good now. Besides those things you said - this computer of mine is an older one: 2GB RAM, and AMD Athlon 2.21 GHz processor, and it seems like it works smoother than Mozilla and Chrome. I can see those if I play few videos on YouTube for example. Well, it's always about that. :) I also like how it looks, and I must say - I like those squares. Speaking of Mozilla for example - I liked it more when it ised to have rectangular tabs (version 12 for example), and the way it looks right now (version 32). Right now I have also installed ieSpell, so I'm gonna see how IE works with that as well. :)

We all know how Internet Explored became unpopular at some moment, and now, although many say it became much better, people are sceptical, and they mostly won't accept that. What are your tought of it? I do agree that it used to take more time to start before, but it seems nice to me at this moment, and appears to be quite optimized, and pages load pretty fast. By the way, I've got feeling that Stronghold Nation does work the best with Internet Explored. :D

I haven't used Paint.net much, but I have same impressions. I'd also like to say - you can also use your lords here. Not only army. I am saying this because I know lords from Stronghold 2 and newer Stronghold games might be quite interesting. You could also use an AI lord. For example, you could use Sir William, the King, the Bull, or someone else.

Thanks for your replies! I didn't notice Mathews reply earlier, as we wrote our messages at almost the same time, and I wasn't looking carefully enough. That is also what I noticed - they move between granary and huts. For this reason I used to put guards posts near granary, treasury, and near huts, but this one near huts is always too far from the courthouse. Because of that I started putting them near granary, treasury, and near the gate which leads to the huts. Speaking about torturers guild - I wasn't buildings it lately as I wanted to spare some space, but besides that I also wanted to make things as simple as possible, as I'm still not as good as I used to be. Also, I don't say I was a great Stronghold 2 player before - the only fact is that I was slightly better than now. :) Thanks for your advices. :)

What I would recommend is Gimp. It's free, and it's really great for any image manipulation you want to do. If you need any help, just ask. :) I could try writing some tutorials, but there are many tutorial already, and it would take much time to describe everything in detail. On the other hand, the program is quite intuitive. I recommend it!

I hope that too! :)

I do similar thing. I didn't know about humiliation masks, that can be useful while I am trying to get higher ranks in game. Oh, and the executioners blocks - that why I like to use them. Instant rehabilitation, hehe. :)

I am joining the contest with my signature. I believe that this time we may see some interesting screenshots from Stronghold 2, Stronghold Legends, Stronghold 3, and also from Stronghold 1 and Stronghold Crusader 1, but also from, what we're all most excited right now, Stronghold Crusader 2. Sadly, right now it is not possible to change the horizontal angle of camera, but even without that, I'm sure that one can make great screenshots from Crusader 2. :) This is my signature.

In this tread I wanted to ask you guys what are your favorite punishing methods? Do you like to put them in stocks, or to chop their had, and to deal with that criminal instantly, or some other way? :) Besides that, what method do you think is most effective, and how to you place your guard posts to catch those criminals as soon as possible? :)

I shall experiment a little, and I shall tell what would be my combination. I still want to try with bread - we'll see how it's gonna turn out. :)

Hmm, that would seem like a website that would need to have an access to many other website databases, and that doesn't seem possible, I think. I mean, if not that - than I think that website would have to have all your passwords as well. Perhaps the easiest thing is to setup email notifications at each account you matter, and if you don't use that often, you could divert all email from that account to the one you do use often, and that way you would be receiving all notifications without checking several email addresses.

Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaah! :D Thanks, I shall bear that title with honor! :)
