Stronghold Legends multiplayer again!

• Game: Stronghold 2

2. EaglePrince
   

 

The main events will start at 13:00 (1:00 PM) EST, which equals 18:00 (6:00 PM) GMT.

 

We will be using Game Ranger - Look at @EaglePrince's thread here for my Game Ranger ID to friend me. This will make such events in the future easier to co-ordinate. We will wait a maximum of fifteen minutes after the event time for latecomers - so please be prompt!

 

Also feel free to ask any questions about the event. :)

[EaglePrince 260]

If you decide to play Stronghold 2 one of those days instead of Stronghold Legends, I may join the fight. :)

 

Also, did you solve the problem with Stronghold Crusader, Chris?

[bradley0095 12]

I might be able to join il let ya know closer to the time

[Lord_Chris 283]

OK then, I'll change one to SH2, but I'll see which days Bradley can come too first. Hope he can come, I'll have to crush him on SHL like he did with me on SH2 :)

 

Also, did you solve the problem with Stronghold Crusader, Chris?

 

Well, I've got a new copy, but it won't install on Windows 8 so I'll have to see if I can install in on my windows 7 machine and copy the files across when I have time.

I didn't know about this issues with Stronghold Crusader and Windows 8 until recently... Do you know anything about others? Have some others managed it to solve this?

 

By the way, I wanted to tell that I won't be able to play on July 17, as I won't be at home whole day. But I would be able to play the other two days Stronghold 2, if you decide to play Stronghold 2 at one of those days.

[Lord_Chris 283]

At the moment, we'll just take it that Stronghold 2 is going ahead for both days. If anyone posts in the meantime then we'll change one to Legends if necessary and the 17th isn't enough.

[EaglePrince 260]

Great! :)

[Lord_Chris 283]

What map should we play? I have a couple in mind:

[EaglePrince 260]

I vote for Arden. :)

[Lord_Chris 283]

Ok, we'll play Arden today & 3 man's land tomorrow. Maybe Lord Vetka will join us too, if he's got his 1.4.1 installed?

[EaglePrince 260]

Hi, Chris. As Arder turned out to be to unbalanced for multiplayer game, how would you like to play this one this evening?

A River Through It

[Lord_Chris 283]

Hmm. It's certainly very detailed, the terrain is perfect, fairly balanced, it's enclosed which is good, has pitch which I like to use, however: there isn't much building space.

 

I played with Sir William, and he couldn't get his castle built properly due to the lack of space. To think you'd have to build a castle and get a production out of that small space makes it fairly hard. I think if there's just the two of us still, the best one would be 3 man's land. It's got a lot of estates, big building space for a bigger castle, you can afford to spread things out a bit and contains a couple of choke points as well.

[EaglePrince 260]

OK, we will play 3 man's land. :)

I wasn't thing about everything, such as about the space - I guess you are right about that. It is the fact that in 3 man's land each player has way more space. :)

[Lord_Chris 283]

Updated title and game to Stronghold 2 in main post.

[bradley0095 12]

ok I hopefully il be able to make 17th game looks. I should be able to I just need to not lose track of time and miss it

[Lord_Chris 283]

Ok, glad to hear :) There should be a spanish person from gameranger as well, he sent me a PM last night asking about it. We'll play three man's land again, it's got loads of space for building.

[Lord_Chris 283]
