No there isnt, if your using the No-CD you will ahve to buy the real thing for online play

Hes right you have buy the game a download it.But im having a worse problem....It say
internet for stronghold2 is currently down whats with that my internets up and my friend
plays online right now!!!!!ugh its make me so angry

I know this is not related to the question but it helps 9/10 of the time. usually a enemy
lord(even controlled by a person) will usually have 15 guards on top of his keep...but
heres the trick. If the enemy lord has a bed champer or throws dinner parties, he'll leave
to go attend to those matters and LEAVE his guards up there. then use the ***asins to
sneak in and wait outside his bedchamper. After the lord has had a "night of fun" with his
lady, he'll go outside and start walking back twards his keep, but then SPRING OUT of the
shadows and slaughter the fat pig!!! :D

u hav to download the newest version of stronghold2, because then ther wood be sum ppl
with version 1.2 and sum with 1.4.1, like me, and ppl wood hav different advantages and
disadvantasges
