Mathew Steel added to the list. :)

I agree. :)

I didn't make it to come home in time so I could play with you... Also, I have uninstalled GameRanger, so I could focus on other stuff. I guess I will not be playing at all for a while (for a week of few), but I look forward to play some games with you, guys. :) Also, then I would install GameRanger, play the game, and uninstall it again - for my own good. :)

Exactly! :cool:

Off topic, I meant to say something to @Mathew Steel. I just wanted to let you know that here you are able to use the avatar version with transparent background. For some reason there are some forums that can't show transparency correctly (at least I didn't have any luck with that), and Firefly forum is among them. On the other hand, most of them doesn't make any problem, and you can use the transparent version here. If you needed the right dimensions of the avatar, I am sending you one more in 100x100 resolution. Enjoy! :)

I hope I could join as well.

Yes, right now that's exactly what I see as well. We'll wait until next file get submitted, and see what happens.

OK, I'll wait until some newer file is submitted. :)

Right now each of those pages shows me that there are no new files. I will try to see what happens after someone submits a file. By the way, how to we access those pages?

Hi. I meant to tell that for a while I am not able to see from this website if there are any new files submitted to downloads section. Before I was able to see that "new items" tag near section or subsection name, but now the only way I could see if there are some new items would be to watch over dates when the latest file was submitted. I did try clearing browser cash and clearing almost all browser data, but no success. I also tried to visit the downloads section using both - Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Same thing happens...

I won't be able to join today. :( I would love to play with you guys, but it will have to be some other time. :(

That's great to hear! :)

7 pm by my time would fit me better, as then it is less likely for me to have some obligations, and it is less likely for someone to call me on the phone - I'd lose connection then. I hope in sh2 this wouldn't effect you guys?

I hope I will be able to join the game. I don't know, I cannot promise, but I may come. :)

In that case, this is good enough. :)

I have noticed that you have created Stronghold Europe section. That's great guys, thanks! By the way, I do have only one suggestion. Can that section be renamed to "Stronghold Europe maps"? The reason for this is because I don't believe there will be too many maps, so we don't need any more categories (we don't need Stronghold Europe invasion maps for example - they can be submitted together with skirmish maps), and also, all other files for Stronghold Europe would work for Stronghold Crusader as well (such as faces, castle modifications etc...).

I agree, sometimes we simply want to brag with out castles. :)

Thanks for letting me know. I didn't know we have a section for those here. If I knew, it would have been better if I saved the game earlier, so those ones who would want to win the game would still have to struggle a little.

I have just won Misty River! This time I did it without apples, and without digging moats in Nizars way (like I did the previous time I was speaking about; only I could have not mentioned this with moats). I bought some stone, built two square towers to defend myself from two directions, and I build woodcutters few wheat farms, one hops farm and started a small production of bows. Later, when the wood arrived, I build some mills, bakeries, breweries, and iron mines. Some time later I also build inns and more iron mines, while I was at the same time repelling those first attacks. Later I grew stronger, and I killed Lionhearts. I was also sending small groups of slaves to set enemy quarries and iron mines to fire. This was really an interesting game, although it was way easier than I remember. :) I'm also providing you one save file from this game. Also, this was my stronghold from the game. EaglePrince 2.zip

I do understand, my signature shows knight leaving the castle, while Chrises one shows an actual fight - we can see a lot there! There are some troops fighting, some are fallen, and also that fire which makes everything to look even better.

I do have all the missions won at the moment - at least all Crusader and Warchest trail missions. Speaking of ballistae, they are pretty effective against any kind of troops, and they are hard to destroy. That could be effective against some, but if the opponents builds catapults, he can destroy ballistae pretty fast. Still, it depends of the number of them! If you have lots of ballistae, I guess I would do the same with catapults, and since balliastae are slow, they wouldn't be able to avoid catapult fire. On the other hand, if you don't put too many of them on one spot, they would be harder to destroy, and you wouldn't provoke the opponents to attack them with catapults. :)

Now when I started that mission (Antioch), and even when I reached the final missions, I saw how easy those missions were. Nevertheless, it was a nice feeling to start those missions again. I would like to add... At some moment I was trying to kill enemy lords with as little troops as possible - that was interesting too. Also, speaking about Age of Empires, it is nice thing there than one cannot attack anyone with only one troops type, as each one is stronger than another, but it is weaker than another as well. That is the case in Age of Empires 3 at least... But I like it way how it was done in Stronghold Crusader - in Crusader we can actually see why is one unit better for something than another - it's just about some bonuses, and other things.

I have edited my signature picture a little - now it is 400x75 instead of 400x100. Somehow my signature seemed to me pretty large, as I also have two links under the image.

Hi, guys. I'm sorry for letting your down, I fear I will not be able to play this time. I would be able to, but I spent too much time during the day in the town, and I have little time to do other stuff I have to do. I'm sorry. :(

Wow, that is awesome signature! I also like how you took the screenshot while fire was burning.
