New stronghold 2 Multiplayer Experience

[Tokamaps 27]

I have created a new Map Type in Stronghold 2.

 

Its about 2, or more players fighting for dominance of just village Flags.

Those flags will grant the owner 10 gold per month.? everyone jhust has a keep, and no lord, so it enough to conquer your opponents keeps. everyone has access to granary, Market, mercenery Post, Baracks and Treasury through hotkeys.

 

everyone will get honur through hidden staues and Jousting grounds and gold trough taxes.

 

you can recruit soldier by using the hotkey "b" for the barracks and "n" for the Mercenry Post.

"m" for Market "t" for treasury and "g" for granary.

 

Now there will be following some screenshots of the map + ga,eplay (Importnt note: i played aggainst the ai of sir William)

Good job as always, Toka! Keep up with the maps.

[Tokamaps 27]

I would Like to ask, how you feel about this Kind of multiplayer gameplay ;)

[Crusader1307 302]

Although I am strickly a Landscaper (if you'be seen some of my SH 1 & SHC 1 Maps), I do understand the "mechanics" of Multiplayer.

 

I really like your idea of using Flags (captured or taken) in exchange for Gold resources. It forces one to chose either the immediate building of a military force or an economy in a funner way.

Good use of landscaping in a "small area". IF I was an avid Multiplayer, I would definately play your map!

 

Keep them coming and please submit them to The Downloads Section. Other Members will want to give them a try!

This sounds very interesting, Tokamaps.

 

If I understand it correctly, it is not only a simple "capture the flag" style of MP game, but also, you managed to make it so, that the players get the wooden keep only, and dont need to build castle structures, but are just fighting for the flags with their armies?

 

An interesting concept. I would like to try it out some day with you guys.

[EaglePrince 260]

Wow, this is great! I usually don't like Colosseum type of maps, but this is great. Would that be possible to make a large map like this? I fear it is not, but even it is not the case - it works great, and I believe it could work well with up to four players. Plus, you made it with awesome landscape!

 

Maybe some more stuff could be done, such as being able to produce weapons in villages or something like that. I believe that on this type of map in the end we will all turn to mercenary units mostly. Of course, I would love to play games like this even this way, it seams awesome!

[Tokamaps 27]

It is possible to have four players, but no more.

 

A large map would work aswell.

 

Then storage buildings would be reachable.

 

We would need to fortify those and dont give the ability on Siege kits.

I do not think, that Siege equipment would be Balanced.

 

But im open for suggestions.

[EaglePrince 260]

That is great to hear! Those buildings could be put in some corners, and you could make them look like small villages in forest or something like that.

 

Regarding siege equipment, I believe that we share the opinion that this type of map is better without them. You could make some small fortifications if it is possible to train laddermen, and then they would be the only unit which could help us in conquering a castle estate.

[Lord_Chris 283]

This is a great idea! It would be great if you could upload them to the downloads section so we could "officially" put them on display. :)

[EaglePrince 260]

I agree with Chris!

 

And once again, what you did now is great, I am pretty sure that something like this has no one done before.

[Nigel 71]

I tried it today in single player.

 

Landscape looks great :) But with the file in the attachment I found that I could not move my troops without placing my stockpile.

And I could not place my stockpile as there was no room in the estate.

 

When I edited the map and placed a stockpile next to the keep in the map editor, it all worked as intended.

So maybe I missed something, or you may want to add stockpiles next to all the keeps on the map.

 

But yea, other than that it is a cood idea and I would love to give it a go in MP.

[EaglePrince 260]

Now need for that, you can press P on your keyboard to unpause the game, and then the game starts without stockpile being placed.

[Monstertomete 2]

That match was fun, even if I had lost

[Tokamaps 27]

Yes :D it was very fun :)

[EaglePrince 260]

Interesting, so you had the first Colosseum multiplayer game! :) Glad to hear you had some great time - I also hope we will be able to play this in four, or something like that. :)

[Tokamaps 27]

Should be possible.

 

I will mess a little around in this Type of map :)

[Nigel 71]

Glad you were able to try this in multiplayer.

 

 

As it happens, I will have some time to play on this weekend. So if you guys are interested, we could have a go at it on Saturday afternoon or on Sunday.

[EaglePrince 260]

I'm up for it. :)

[Nigel 71]

Great ! :D

 

I will open a new thread, so that we don't derail this thread with lots of posts about making time arrangements.

Hopefully Tokamaps and some other players can join, too.

It occurs, that i dont have a 4 players collosseum map.

 

But as i know, that this map type is working

[EaglePrince 260]

I guess we got too excited that we forgot that you haven't made the four player Colosseum map yet. :)

[Tokamaps 27]

It isnt hard to create a basic 4 Player collosseum with just the Basic things.

 

It wont be desinged.

 

If You guys are ok with that.

[Crusader1307 302]

InterestIng time lapse map. I like your design style.

[EaglePrince 260]

I'm not sure if I understood your message correctly. I'm not sure if you are going to make a four player Colosseum map or not.:-) But yeah, if it's going to be only Nigel and me, then we wouldn't need a four player map right now. Unless you would like to join us as well!

 

And of course, from what I've seen, even your "quick maps" look great.:-)

[Tokamaps 27]

I will create One, but it wouldnt be desinged.

 

Yes, i would Like to join your match :)

Thx Crusader for your positive Statement :)
