Each time you randomise the selection of players, all the other players will be removed and then added back onto the map again. This will randomise the amount of AI Lords placed on your map along with their castle estates. If you aren't interested in which AI lords play against you, click the dice icon. If you add more players than there is space for in the selected map, you will not be able to start the game until you have removed some of them. There will always be spaces for up to 7 players in the game, regardless if the map does not have that many castle estates. They will also be given a castle estate automatically on the minimap, although you can change this. Once you have configured all the lords you wish to play, hit the "Back" arrow to return to the Kingmaker screen.Īs the players have been added to the game, they will be represented by their own avatar and name on the player list. Simply left click on their icon in the center of the screen more than once for this to happen.
This means you can add up to 7 AI lords into your game. You can also have the same AI Lords play more than once in the same game, subject to a maximum of 8 total players (including yourself). Simply left click on an AI lord to add them into the game. The icons at the very top of the screen will inform you who is already configured to play in the game. Once you have selected this icon, you will be taken to the opponent selection screen, which is as follows:
There is no way for AI lords to play in multiplayer in Stronghold 2. Note that this icon will only let you do this in Single Player. The icon with the sword and shield will allow you to add AI lords to play on your map. Both teams will fight against each other on the map. In this instance I am in an alliance with The Bishop while Sir Grey and Edwin are in a separate alliance. These players with the same colours will be part of the same team during the game and will fight against all other players and alliances.
When two or more players are grouped together in an alliance, you will also see the icon given for the team colour. Players on the same teams will have the same background colour. If you setup any alliances in the game, then the background will change to reflect this. It is also the same colour that the player is shown on the minimap to the right of this section. In the player's case, this is virtually always red. When you enter multiplayer the other players will soon automatically enter the game lobby with you.Įach player in the game will have their name shown in the same colour that they will play as during the game. When you first enter the Kingmaker settings in single player, only your own name will be present and will need to manually add AI lords to play the game. Meanwhile the game AI are shown with their name and a picture of their face instead of any player colours or shields. In multiplayer games you can set this by left clicking on the larger shield next to the "Play Game" button. The small shield with a red cross through it is for multiplayer games only, and symbolises that the player is ready to start the game. Human players are clearly marked with the word "human" next to them, while they also keep their own name and crest. This section shows all of the current players, both human and AI, who will play on the map. We have divided the screen up into several different sections. This Kingmaker screen is used for both single player and multiplayer games, although to get here in multiplayer you must get here via a different route which we will discuss later on. To get there, select Play, Path of War and then Kingmaker. To begin with, the Kingmaker settings can be accessed via the main menu of the game. This article will briefly introduce you to the Kingmaker scenario type in Stronghold 2, and what you need to do in order to play both by yourself and online with your friends.
