Yes, time for another attempt with SH2 multiplayer. The version we play with can be decided later.

Ah didn't see. Right ok, I'll be there :)

The winner for this month is Charles of Tours - congrats Charles!

The event is schedules for tomorrow evening. :) I was miles away yesterday :) OK, 1.2. What time shall we play then?

1.4.1 is still the only option as far as I know - but maybe you can play with other versions now GameRanger is used. You would have to keep the following in mind by doing so though: The 1.4.1 maps will not be playable on the 1.3.1 version and the same for 1.4 Playing with different versions could result in something like what happened when we attempted to play SHC (or worse) All the list of updates (show below) wouldn't be there and issues such as the Knight not mounting a horse while moving would still be present ** Updates ** These are only updates for the 1.4.1 version Blank games and duplicate games no longer appear in the multiplayer lobby. Disbanded troops now appear from the player's hovels. If no hovels are placed peasants will appear outside the keep. Troops placed in stockpiles can now be targeted by enemy players. Stone quarries can now be placed on both Island Hopping and Rocky Island free build maps. A player can no longer open and close their gatehouse once it has been captured by the enemy. Sally ports now appear hidden to enemy players. Fixed issue when dismounting units so that the animation only plays once, preventing them from crossing inaccessible terrain. Fixed issue so that the Lord can no longer attack buildings from a distance using the ?Return to Civic Duties? button in the keep interface panel. Archers can no longer use braziers when standing on level ground next to a wall with a brazier. Fixed issue with knights being unable to mount horse if they moved while the horse was en route. Fixed issue in which wrong weapons were selected when going to the weapons panel in the market by clicking on the Armoury interface panel. Fixed issue in which monks would not go to the monastery when it was placed in certain rotations. Fixed a multiplayer issue in which turning off food consumption would cause the game to go out-of-sync. Fixed a multiplayer issue in which Herons could cause an out of sync. Great Britain map has been re-balanced We would have to make sure that all players had the same version which we'll probably end up doing anyway...

OK, it still hasn't arrived - and I'd be busy tonight anyway, so I'm afraid I'm out today :(

Sounds like a really big challenge to get one of your maps right - I know just how hard it is to copy other castles, I once attempted to copy Helm's Deep in Stronghold 2... never again. It's impossibly hard, and requires a lot of patience as well as skill in the editor. Looking forward to see what you still have in store for us! :)

If my game's arrived by then I'll join, but if you haven't heard back assume it's a no. EDIT: Didn't read all of your post - thanks, I'll wait until we decide which version to play :)

Moving to "Site Questions and Support" as this forum is just for scheduling gaming events :) That's a good idea. I think the first two will work, but the last one may be just duplicating posts unnecessarily. Maybe you could make a template post for organising gaming events and I'll stick it in the gaming events forum?

Welcome a'board! We can be certain you put a lot of effort into your maps then, as well as the historical knowledge you must have in order to get it correct :) How long does a map take you on average?

My game still hasn't arrived (I was hoping it would have by now) so I'm afraid I'll have to be out for today as well. Sorry, I hope to be there for the next one.

Favourites Added. Users can now favourite other users files when viewing a file.

Sounds like a plan :) And with no video uploading then hopefully my internet will be more stable. I've ordered another copy of Crusader from Play, it won't come in time for today, but hopefully it will be here soon enough. Do you want to host or should I?

I do think that would be fairly late for a game here, I'd only be able to play for an hour/hour and a half at that time, but I'd be willing to try for an hour or so. :)

StrongholdNation now has an official Google + Account. All updates will be posted by the site management team on this page: https://plus.google.com/+StrongholdnationCoUkSHN Staff Members who have Google + or Gmail accounts are welcome to PM with their email and I will set them up as an account administrator for it so they can add details. If the site ever goes down, this is where any updates on it will be posted. A good way to stay informed! ;)

Thanks for the kind offer :) Sometime today maybe? I did get the patch from GamersHell, but it was certainly official, therefore no reason why it should have failed unless the game is already corrupt (makes sense considering that I couldn't update it)

Sounds like you all had a hard time getting it to work then, but I'm glad you managed it in the end :) After all that, I finally got my video uploaded but it couldn't play it due to incompatibilities... I hate YouTube sometimes... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZQs2Hc2kp4

When I reinstalled it I had to choose a different path instead of the default c:\program files(x86)\firefly studios\stronghold crusader as it was still crashing when I installed it to that directory, but hopefully it will still load. But it would be useful to walk me through it as well :) ** Edit ** I take it that the game went well without me?

It seems to be fine again now on the 1.2, but I have a nagging suspicion that something will go wrong after that, I don't know why... I have had a brief look in the SHC multiplayer lobby - how do we connect? I appear to need to know the host's IP.

I have patch 1.3.1 and I have SH2 Deluxe - what about you EaglePrince? I know you mentioned you had 1.4, but what about your game?

Hmm... They're doing it automatically on my game - press the attack button and see if that helps though.

If problems appear, then it's likely to be me - I'm not sure firstly how compatible SHC is with windows 8, but the 1.2 version seemed to be fine. This may require a deeper look into it, but to be honest, it's probably better just purchasing another one (if I can get one not on steam) as it really somehow seems like it's my game. All these complications... :)

No, you're in the right place. There definitely is a way to do it because I've done it in a custom mission before - try selecting a unit and a ballistae at the same time and then put them on aggressive.

I've just tried installing the 1.3 version and it's completely crashed my game. I'm going to reinstall the game, and unfortunately I'll probably end up playing just on the 1.2 version until I purchase another copy and see if it's what the issue was. If that's a problem then I won't join today and will see if I can on the 24th.

Fire Ballistae won't automatically attack unless you put them on aggressive behaviour. (left click then select the aggressive icon) You can make them attack individual targets, but unless you do that they won't automatically attack.
