Chancellor’s FAQs – Multiplayer

Why do all the animals die in the multiplayer maps?

We found the animals were causing connection problems with multiplayer games and therefore we kill them off as a game starts.

While playing a multiplayer game the connection reconnects constantly.

Downloading the patch will reduce this problem. You can find it at Godgames

Is there no way to actually load an autosave and/or manual save from a multiplayer game?

Within the multiplayer lobby screen click on the key icon on the shield icon to load a saved game.

Is there an easy way to scroll through players?

Scroll the mouse wheel down and this will scroll through all of the players’ keeps in the game.

I created a multiplayer map but my friend can’t see it?

Maps are saved within the Stronghold maps folder. The default location would be: C:\Programs Files\Firefly Studios\Stronghold\Maps. If you copy the map you have created and place it within their maps folder, they will see this map when they run Stronghold.
