Crusader1307

Surely, ......the original SE mod was from Heaven Games/Stronghold Heaven, under the heading Stronghold Europe Mod. I don't remember the mod makers name (for credit). Download the updated version (free of bugs and animation glitches). The first version has Engineers modded in place of the Arabian Forces (why?). Further, these modded gm's also "spin around". I removed and replaced them with the original Arab figures. I will try your .cr attachment experiment and see if that helps. Starting to feel like what it was like to be at The Siege of Jerusalem at this point! :D Your the best! Thanks!

Yes, I was able to download (given the time difference), it took 3 hrs! (I must be nuts)... I started to try to work on the .cr stuff like you suggested in your earlier post. I am having some .exe issues (here and there), I'll get it. By the way, there is a Stronghold Europe mod (again from SH), with the Russian hovels churches and what not. The Cathedral is somewhat lame though..I got my initial download of SHE from there. Don't I know if that will help...

You being more of an expert in this mod, I tip my hat to you. I will make the gm switch too. I agree with the exchange of troops to something other that they are (no slam against our Russian friends!). I'd love to see you completed mod (if Lord Chris will allow the download, of course). GREAT WORK AGAIN, My Lord...... :D

As soon as I download (time permitting), I'll start stripping and let you know ;)

Thou art truly a Prince! I am starting to travel down the road you cleared. As stated before, I was working with Version 2 hovels. You found even more! YOU THE MAN!

Hmmmmm....For some odd reason, when I use non-captial punishment, my works tend to steal more. Captial punishment tends to work more effectively!

Ah, the Quest begins!. I went to your link site. Same trouble. And I agree. 1.G is WAY to much. The file transfer would be the best. And yes, some of the building mods did come from the 2nd update of Stronghold Europe found at Stronghold Heaven. The first version has the same modded file as everybody whose ever downloaded it. All Stronghold Buildings with evolved and semi-evolved hovels. The second version was the one with the Russian Story Building mods installed. Weird, huh? That's what started my mission, as it were. Also since our last conversation, I did some research and found ANOTHER one! Stronghold: Medieval Empire, roughly the same Russian story mods but with s few extras. I tried but the site would not let me on. Thanks to everyone who has given me such great responses. :D

So True. The original files, found and downloaded from Stronghold Heaven were only what I mention previously. 4 hovel designs (duplicated), the chapel, the church, ALL farming structures, the woodsman shack and a very impressive iron mine. Apparently, the original modder did nothing else other than a redesign of the wooden Keep. I agree that the snow maps are strange. But, if one was interested in a Norseman thing, this could be neat. :rolleyes:

Much thanks again Eagle Prince.....will do the same. This mod has become a "quest" of sorts for me :D :D

Thanks for your prompt reply Eagle Prince, First... I have files of very impressive hovels and churches modded from The Russian Story site. They work well in BOTH Stronghold 1 and Crusader. After some research, I found that several other buildings (stables, statues and wells) are NOT included in the download. No one on this this of "The Pond" (and other fansites) can seem to help. I was just curious as to if anyone else was interested. I am currently working on an update mod using these "new" gm files. To the second question, I have a very hard time with strange virus attacks from these sites. I have a fairly robust anti-viral platform but alas! Thanks for the help!

Can anyone tell me WHERE to find mods/files on this that are not redirected to a Russian site?
