Think I may have fixed the problem I'll attach it to this post after I've tested it :) Edit: Seems it didn't work. I don't see the problem, I looked at my map and compared it with yours and there is no difference. I can't see what is causing the problem. If you notice when placing any building in a different area other than Player 1 (red territory) a red tile will be below the building, as soon as the building is hovered in Player 1's territory, the red tile will turn white. It seems the game assumes the buildings you place are for Player 1, this seems like a bug on Firefly's behalf and we'll just have to wait. I did remove the buildings from the estate so when they do fix it, you will have a clean area. You would have to do this either way. Also I removed the 2 keeps and placed a spawn point as this allows the game to read how many players the map is for. If you look in Custom Skirmish your current map says the map is for 0 players, after using this, it should say 2 players. I'll keep trying for you anyway :) real_map_11.shmap

I just had a quick play of your map... http://www.stronghold-nation.com/downloads/file/180-xiimarcleon/ I thought of a name instead of just calling it by your username. Well I thought of a few- Two Lands Divided The Outposts

By "Estate Markers" I was referring to the territory, I couldn't think of a proper term and that seemed appropriate, sorry if you didn't understand. I cant think what the problem is. Could you send your map and I could take a look at it? kompact111@gmail.com

You might want to consider uploading the map to the download section. That way it will get more downloads and people will leave more feedback :) Upload it here- http://www.stronghold-nation.com/downloads/submit/ I saw you were in the editor a lot today through Steam, I'll try it out when I have a chance.

I am sure everyone here has played at least 1 Stronghold game in their time and I'm sure many of you (including me), would class yourselves as "gamers". I'm curious to know what other PC/Console games do you all play? I myself play the following: -The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -All Strongholds besides Legends and Kingdoms -Payday 2 -Tom Clancy Splinter Cell Blacklist -Tom Clancy Rainbow Six Vegas 2 What about you? :)

Okay so it's been crashing recently and I cant seem to find the minidumps. Any idea where they are? Also am I the only one experiencing this? It happens on SHC2, SH2 and SH3. The only thing in common with these games are the fact that they are 3D. My graphics card is one of the best middle priced cards for 3D games and it has no problem with other games. It cant be my computer as it happened on my old laptops too. The game doesn't lag out as I run it at 80-100 FPS all the time. It just randomly freezes and crashes. Is this something on Firefly's half or can I do something about it? Thank you!

The free version is just fine so long as you run scans now and then. It doesn't prevent viruses/malware getting on the computer without the full version so just be wary of that. I myself use Avast (Free)+MalwareBytesPro (Full Version) it seems to run fine and I haven't had any trouble with conflicting. I wouldn't recommend AVG as it's very resource demanding for such little outcome.

It is possible to do as it works in my map. Have you made sure you've placed the estate territory marker and not neutral. They are both the same colour and are easily mistaken. You must place all the buildings for the village as far as I know. For woodcutters ive had to place more estate markers near trees or the game will recognise the woodcutter huts as Player 1

That made me chuckle ;) Enjoy your holiday :)

I understand that, I can usually pick out some key information and sort of figure out what it means either way.

Thank you Chris, I changed the minidump option so hopefully next crash we'll get some more information :)

Throughout all of Stronghold, my games have crashed at somepoint. This has happened to me in every game so many time and it's super frustrating especially after not saving. Does anyone know of a fix cause it really annoys me -.-

Not possible sorry, I meant to say from today till Monday.

I won't be able to make this event as im away for the weekend. Anyway hope you have a good game :)

I will be hosting a match in 30 minutes for Stronghold Crusader II. The match is just for fun and have only now realised I am available to play. We already have 3 members playing (including myself), if you would like to join then add me on Steam- K0MP4CT If you cannot make it, don't worry, I realise this is very very short notice. If you have nothing to do then feel free to join :)

I recently played a game of multiplayer where the host was very cocky and thought he was a super great player. Now the host made the game very difficult, 10 minutes of peace time with 500 gold. I tend to struggle with such options but I did my best. Throughout the match the match the host was being mouthy, "you're gonna burn" or "this is so easy" as he killed the first lord he said "that was difficult for you wasn't it". He then moved his rather large army onto my base. Now with the lacks of everything I only had about 30 archers and 18 spearmen. He approached from the left and I saw that his castle was completely open and undefended. So with quick thinking I made 12 assassins. I then sent continuous small groups of troops at the approaching army to keep him distracted, while my assassins went north to his castle. Just as he got near my keep, my assassins were already on his keep and eventually killed his lord. You can see the review below: As you can see although he was the Greatest Lord, he was not in fact, the greatest player. This goes to show that from being cocky and thinking each match will be easy, you will not always get the outcome you think. And this goes for everything in life, self confidence is good, but when it gets to the point of cockiness, it's bad. Just be calm :)

Fixed - Multiplayer game lobby not showing correct values for clients when they first join the game. Fixed - Greatest Lord screen being available in non-skirmish missions. Fixed ? Issues with Ranger's animation and props. Fixed - Exploit where placing a free wood camp would refund half the cost in wood. Fixed - Village estates colour issues in the Map Editor. Fixed ? Various crashes. Misc Changes Added support for changing available keyboard layouts using ALT+SHIFT.

I have tried all of the above, also to no prevail. Thank you for trying anyway :) It seems we are doing something wrong or the map editor has been a fail. What did you think of the scenery of the map overall?

Forgot to edit the main one, sorry, problem now solved :)

Thank you Eagle, problem solved :)

I really like the idea of the map. Sounds like you've though this out very well, I look forward to seeing and playing it :) I think assassins as starting troops is not so good, for someone can just send them in straight away mostly unseen and do a lot of damage, but that's just my view :)

The trouble I'm having is the enemies go to the invasion point (where they place the siege camp) but then will not attack me. I'm aware I am missing something out as in the invasion editor, there is nothing to set a target. Could you explain to me what to do more in-depth? Thanks :)

Story sent :)

I think it would be a great idea within the "messaging" section in "My Profile" you can provide a contact email. This will be useful for people, like myself, who have signed up with a different email to the one they would like to contact staff/members with. What do you all think?

I'll play some of it now and start writing for you tomorrow, I'll mail you the story to avoid people stealing it and so you can verify it :) EDIT: I don't have the mail. Did you send it to the correct email address? kompact111 [at] gmail.com 2nd Edit: Checked my other email and found it. So you know, that is more of a personal email, use the one above to contact me :)
