What state is southeast of west Virginia?

The state of Maryland and the Commonwealth of Virginia are to the east of West Virginia. Maryland is to the east of north-central West Virginia (and to the north and east of the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia). Virginia is somewhat to the east and southeast. Oft-forgotten is the fact that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is also east of West Virginia, but it is only east of the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia. In all other respects, Pennsylvania is north of West Virginia.Side note: West Virginia is bordered to the West-Southwest by the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Thus, West Virginia is bordered by three of the four commonwealths still-existing in the United States (the other being Massachusetts).

Should you buy stronghold crusader or stronghold 2?

Stronghold 2 has more features and is 3-D but has a lot of micromanagement difficulties. Most people prefer Stronghold Crusader and if you buy the Stronghold Warchest you get Stronghold Crusader Deluxe which has twice as many opponents to chose from as the old Stronghold Crusader. The Stronghold Warchest also includes Stronghold, the original game and it has a storyline with a great plot but is much harder than Stronghold Crusader. Of course you can always just but Stronghold Crusader by itself but you will only have 8 opponents to chose from. In Stronhold Crusader Deluxe (in the Stronghold Warchest) you have 16 different opponents to chose from and an expanded Crusader Trail (story mode).

Has the state constitution of Virginia been amended to prohibit same-sex marriage in that state?

Yes, on November 7, 2006. On February 13, 2014, a US District Court ruled Virginia's ban on same-gender marriages to be unconstitutional. The amendment used to say: Only a union between one man and one woman may be a marriage valid in or recognized by this Commonwealth and its political subdivisions. This Commonwealth and its political subdivisions shall not create or recognize a legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance, or effects of marriage. Nor shall this Commonwealth or its political subdivisions create or recognize another union, partnership, or other legal status to which is assigned the rights, benefits, obligations, qualities, or effects of marriage.
