    After this we need Stronghold Crusader remake! Make it possible to create maps (with more tools), mods (for example changing troops/building stats/ressources is needed) and a tool to create computer AI (build castles and behaviour). For sure, options for multiplayer are needed too. This would attract much players to come back to this game.

      Same, I love the editor and over they ears a lot of tricks sprung up to make truly unique maps, but I'd love a very robust scripted Editor like AoE2 DE does. Scripts, pathing, everything would be so awesome. Like "go there, get food" or "do that, get attacked from this angle". this would be truely big.

Playing the demo i could feel your hard work, and that is only a sneak peak of everything that's to come. I have only one thing to say: You guys are awesome! thank you for making this game ❤

  • @MessiLeo7

    That's amazing! I can't wait to get the full version! Just one request: could you please soften the color grading transitions between the different ground height levels? If you make a head to head comparison between HD and DE, you can notice that these transitions look smooth and natural in the original game. Everything just blends in harmoniously, unlike in DE, where the transitions look sharp and unpolished. It would be amazing to see some improvements there ❤️

    6:06 - "We are hoping to see all of those thousands of maps that were on Heavengames or other locations just to go straight onto the workshop" What the... ?! Was that really just an open call by Firefly for people to basically steal content created by others on a massive scale?! A call for DE players to simply go onto Heavengames or other fansites, take any existing maps that were created by others, and copy-paste them into steam workshop without the consent of the creators?!
    Those maps, scenarios and even entire custom campaigns were created by passionate and skilled mapmakers who spent tons of hours into creating works of art. Often, they also included additional information, hints, intricate backstories, images, historical background and research, fanciful presentation, instructions, multiple variants or other cool stuff with their maps, spent time on researching to get the details of historical locations or events right, to playtest, to create beautiful and detailed maps.
    And now all that shall be plagiarised by whomever, and put onto the workshop, most likely also without any of the additional parts of those great pieces of content, with no support for custom campaigns, etc...? Is that really how Firefly wants to treat their content creators?
    Firefly, if you actually care about community content creators at all - people, who kept your game alive for two decades by providing endless amounts of quality content for people to enjoy for free - if you care about the core of your community at all... then please reconsider and clarify your statement! Do not give your most engaged and altruistic fans a big slap in the face by inviting everyone to steal all their work! That's just absolutely... mind-blowing in a negative way.

It's easy for us fans to request such a game, but if any studio can revolutionize the genre like you did in the early 2000s, it's Firefly.

You have few missions like that but no opportunity for users to make maps like that as far as I know.

Units Id say to add would be ranger and monk warrior the monk swordsman from SH2. That way if they rework Crusader the Abbot would have some more viability. As well as ranger replacing arabian archers in the wolfs castle and hed use the rangers on defense. As well as a few other AI Allies or opponents.
