52 Weeks of Stronghold Winners

I am delighted that StrongholdNation has hosted the 52 Weeks of Stronghold set of challenges over the last year, Stronghold's biggest ever competition, in which we partnered with Firefly Studios. It's been an amazing time for the forum, Firefly and has increased attention and excitement around the series.

Today it's time to announce the final winners of 52 Weeks of Stronghold, the results of which are available here.

I am very pleased to announce that our five winners are as follows.

1. 1st Place with an impressive 15 points - @Floki
   
2. 2nd Place with 12 points, and only one win behind - @Nigel
   
3. 3rd Place with 9 points - @EaglePrince
   
4. 4th Place with 9 points - @Tokamaps
   
5. 5th Place with 3 points - @Fail Session
   
6. 6th Place with 3 points - @Mathew Steel
   
7. 7th Place with 3 points - @Strife
   
8. 8th Place with 3 points - @Andreas9541
   

Note: In the case of the scores of and [user]EaglePrince[/user], because they both have the same number of wins a random database query decided their positions in the leader board above. The deciding week was eventually week #30, where [user]EaglePrince] won. In the case of everyone else, a random database query was also used which determined who came 5th in the leader board. This process was repeated with the previous winner removed until no single user was left.

The deciding week numbers for this process were as follows:

• 5th place - Week #21
  
• 6th place - Week #42
  
• 7th place - Week #23
  
• 8th place - Week #46
  

To those users who came 1st to 5th, congratulations - feel free to PM me at any time and you can claim your prize - every single game in the Stronghold series, Space Colony, the Stronghold Kingdoms starter pack and all the Stronghold Crusader 2 DLC.

Please note that you have a total of six weeks to claim your prize from today. If unclaimed after four weeks, I will email you individually. If after those further two weeks you do not respond, your prize will be provided to the next user on the list.

We do not want to lose all of the precious data in the 52 Weeks of Stronghold forum, so from today that forum will now be archived, so that you can continue to look back on your victories, and try challenges again at a later date.

But regardless of where you came on the leader board, you are still a winner. You still have taken on valuable skills and talents during this process, and shown off what you can do to the whole world ? and everyone who has taken part should be commended for doing so. I'd very much like to congratulate you for taking part in the largest ever Stronghold competition in history - you have made history.

On behalf of the whole team here at StrongholdNation, I'd like to wish you all the very best for 2017, and thank you once again, for taking part.

I would like to congratulate to everyone, this has been really fun, and I can only be sad for not answering on more challenges which were very interesting. :) I would like to thank the good guy Firefly for supporting this contest, and for supporting their fans in general.

Now, around these days Firefly said that they would bring us Stronghold 2 Steam Edition, and I hope so much they are going to give us ability to play multiplayer games with AI lords. :) Stronghold 2 is a great game for spending some time in relaxed games, and with multiplayer we would be able to spend that time with our friends fighting against Olaf, Hammer, Hawk, and other bad guys. Sorry for a little bit of off topic.

Happy New Year, guys! :)

Congrats to all on this event! Especially thanks to the Stronghold Nation staff who made this event possible!

Sorry I could not participate more than I had; as real life became complicated and took far more time. Look forward to seeing you all on the battlefield in 2017!

Happy New Year!

Yes, thank to StrongholdNation stuff too, not just Firefly! :) Sorry, I meant that too but I didn't write that. :)

Thanks to the Stronghold Nation staff and FireFly for this nice contest.

And congratulations Floki for a well deserved 1st place. :)

It was great fun.

Even if we only did some of the missions that were offered, there was always the feeling that something is going on. And everyone could pick and choose the missions that he liked best. Speaking for myself, I can say that I really enjoyed those missions that I did take on.

GG and Happy New Year to everyone
