FAQ – Multiplayer Questions

Where can I find other people to play MP against?

Join our online community on the forums, in particular the Multiplayer forum. We have players of all different levels and abilities and are always glad to help new players.

How do I connect to MP games?

There are 2 ways you can choose to play. You can go to Gamespy, and they will help you. Or you can contact other players through the forums/ICQ/email etc and arrange a game. In that case click military games, click multiplayer games, click TCP/IP, either get your IP# and give it to your host, or vice versa. Click host or join and you’re in.

Is there a set rule of Peacetime? How long is it?

No there is not. A few players actually play with no Peacetime (pt), but most players on Stronghold Heaven build up their castles and use 20 minutes.

Why do I get disconnected so much?

The network of Stronghold is very sensitive. An ICQ message could easily set it off. Try closing all the programs that you are running first.

What should I do when I get disconnected from a MP game?

If you are the host you should remain in the hosting game state and find a way to communicate with the other player to rejoin. If you are the guest go back to the TCP/IP page and find the players IP number and rejoin. You should do this even if it tells you that you have won and you haven’t.
