A custom campaign that could "replace" the evil campaign, but all the missions are on the same map, if that makes sense. :) As for the setting, that's up to you! As long as it's suitable for the Evil Campaign, you can do anything you'd like!

Your challenge is: Make an alternate evil campaign for Stronghold Legends on the same map. It must have a minimum of 3 missions and plenty of action! Use custom messages and any other tips or tricks you have to make a big impact!

This map is fantastic! It is quite possibly the best skirmish map I've ever seen in Stronghold Crusader 2. From the marvellously detailed terrain to the great choke points on the map, this map is everything you could ever want and more! Firstly, I'll start with the terrain. This was fantastic, the amount of detail put into it was amazing. The waterfalls looked very impressive and all were placed exceptionally well. The rivers and streams looked very natural and were well placed, and these not only looked good, but separated the different land areas very well. The stone statues and ruins .etc which were placed really helped to lift the environment and add something extra to it, there were just enough to make it look effective but not too many so that it looks too much. And they were scattered over the place to really help with this and make it so much better. The cliffs on the map and hills were extremely effective because they created some excellent choke points around the map in various locations that makes it particularly good. The landscape was especially suited to expansion, and there was a lot of space for this which again, advanced the map to a whole new level. Each player on the map had a fantastic amount of space to build up a settlement and there was a great amount of space around for mini-skirmishes. I actually think this would be a great multiplayer map for all of these reasons. It's a fantastic map, and it's my honour to award you with three points. Congratulations!

Thanks, I'll look into this.

Must have somehow missed this, not sure how .... is this still happening now?

That's fantastic @Andreas9541! If you don't manage to get it all finished on time, it's still ok for you to upload it. :)

That the players can expand easily from their own castle into places into the map, that e.g. defence structures can be placed, that the boundaries of each estate are wide enough that space should never be a problem, especially for defence.

Your challenge for this week is: Make a skirmish map in the Stronghold Crusader 2 editor named "The Dangerous Wilds". The map should have many tributaries, build a landscape that can be expanded into by the will of players, design high mountains, make glorious ruins. Make the map divided into several areas to explore, and expand!

Yes, Congratulations @Nigel, fir getting all 3 points. :) I've taken the first entry you added (dugin_02.sh2) because it's the one which you were closest, you really did do well on that one! The second one was unfortunately just too late, but you also did a good job there too, it is a very rough map. You just missed out on the first one, really unlucky!

Maybe. :) There are 2 more contests for Stronghold Crusader 2.

Congrats for getting an entry in. This was an exceptionally hard challenge, so I can understand you not beating it! [user]eagleprince], I hope you can manage to get an entry in today. :) Last chance for entries today!

I'm sure your map will be great as well. While we can't mark it here for this challenge anymore, you could upload it to the downloads section and we could rate it there. :)

That sounds really unfortunate @Nigel. I've attempted this map myself in the past and did really well, right up until the point where my game crashed. Every subsequent attempt after this also crashed my game, so I never managed to complete it. :( If no-one can actually manage to complete it, then if you upload the game where you got the furthest the person who got the furthest (and quickest) will win.

Hi there @Steinhardt, Sorry for the problems you've been having. I recently updated the forum three days ago and this is why the error is now happening on the site. I thought I'd fixed all of the problems that were caused on the main site, but it seems I had missed one. I do apologise for this, this error has been fixed now. Let me know if you're having more problems.

It's completely up to you! I've also added an image to the original post of the castle which should help you a bit. :)

I don't believe there is a version of Stronghold Legends on Mac. In regards to multiplayer, Stronghold Legends multiplayer is now managed through Game Ranger.

It was the incorrect challenge I posted, so I changed them when I realised.

Your challenge is: Create Pontefract castle (1070) in the Stronghold 3 editor. Useful resources Information: Located in West Yorkshire, England. No Water, Some Trees and Bushes.
