There are not charters in northern Ireland in world 2. Could someone look at this

http://forum.strongholdkingdoms.com/vie ... 96&t=14026 - in this thread you can see when this was first addressed. Firefly will tell you that its automated "blah blah blah" but its clearly not. Before they launched SHK on Steam they went through a dry spell. More people were leaving the community and I believe they turned off charters to show less inactive spots. It also encourages battles, which is a clear profit for FF as well.

When villages are repeatedly razed in a Parish it takes awhile for new charters to appear, some players like to maintain control of Parish's by razing every other village,

Charts reappear instantly if they were there before, if not it was a village spawn location, that doesn't come back until a new player spawns there, or a in-active player starts up again.

SHK needs a better newbie player base, I can't find any vassals here.

If a charter spot is razed enough, the charter stops re-appearing

No we're not that devious! I have wondered about these "ghost parishes" as well, basically the reason is that the spots are reserved for new players joining the world. In many counties, like Avon, you can see parishes with no villages, this is because the previous villages were either razed or removed for inactivity, but the game does not feel it needs to create more charter spaces at this time. We will look into a fix for this, so that charters start to spawn in some of these ghost parishes.

That would be a great help and all I can ask of the devs, just to look into the 'ghost parish' on W-2

Thank-you

ye. In dorset war left 3 blank parishes.
now one of those blank parishes got new players villages.

So if new players keep joining. or rejoin. it should take care of some others

So I see this was going to be looked into in October. Still not fixed, which kinda makes me think I'm wasting my time with this game.

I'm in Dumfries, reached level to buy a charter two weeks ago. Except there is not one single charter in the entire County. Not one. The nearest charters are in Roxburghshire, quite a long way away. So I'm kinda stuck.

Really, is this game just being abandoned? Should I bother?
