Personally speaking and speaking on behalf of other expert players within the multiplayer community. The teleportation for stone and other teleportation of resources is considered a bug/glitch/cheat in our community, so it should not be allowed to count towards runs. If that is the case I can just surround my stockpile with a wooden wall, completely blocking access which will instantaneously transport resources (iron, stone, wood, weapons (surround armory) etc.) and it would count. Doing this will take no skill whatsoever and will defeat the purpose of the economics part of the game. Please let me know your thoughts.
Also, if anyone has any questions about game play and how to improve let me know.
My background: player since 2002, played multiplayer since 2002, top expert in all maps and rules, won over a dozen 1v1 tournaments and over a dozen 2v2 tournaments. Discovered many tricks, glitches, bugs, and tactics used by expert players.

Perfect, thank you for that answer. I can manually do it without issues. If I have some time I may even create an autosplitter for future cases if that is all it takes to create one.
First all, thank you Drakodan and Timmiluvs for your quick response. I can manually run the splits with my game. The main thing I'm wondering is once I have setup the Splits are they to supposed to automatically record the times for each mission once completed and automatically start the next mission throughout the entire campaign? Or, do I have to hit my hotkey once each mission is completed myself? Reading the "Additional Info" it does show that "There is no Auto Splitter available for this game" but I've heard this is not the case and it can auto split. Below is what is in the Addional Info tab. If I have to manually do it, that is fine. I can do screen recording while running my split. Can someone confirm this?
Runs of this game require video proof.
Complete all 21 missions from the Military Campaign as fast as possible. CHEATS and HACKS are not allowed!
The missions need to be done in order. A mission is deemed completed when the "Victory" text shows up.
Timing is done in RTA. Timer starts when you press "Start Game" on the mission objective on "The Gathering the Lost" and ends when the "Victory" text shows up on "Final Vengeance".
Hello All,
I'm fairly new with LiveSplit and SpeedRun.com but I have been asked to do some speed runs of my own for the game Stronghold. If someone has experience doing speed runs with this game please let me know and I can give you my contact information. Thanks in advanced.
