For the past 20 years, I've only ever wished for 1 and only 1 Definitive Edition release that's true to the original graphics and gameplay.

[@bartomiejbakaj4911]

Overall, a great marketing move on your part to update the classics and add some extras. I have returned to these titles with sentiment many times. I'm very glad that you are developing these titles again :) I also hope that you will like my ideas for new features and that I will be able to watch them while playing :)) Stones falling from walls onto besieging units (at the cost of 1 or 2 units of stone from the stockpile), the ability to throw spears from walls by units standing on them. Apart from wolf pits, those that the enemy can fall into and kill themselves dug by diggers. Burning logs rolling after leaving the walls (like in Strogchold Legends), the ability to create formations of units moving around the map (like in skirmishes in Knights of Honor). Especially since units with shields above their heads like Roman ones appeared, archers could stand between them and shoot from between them, not from between wicker shields. The ability to throw nets at enemies to immobilize them for a moment and throw hives of angry wasps that would inflict minor wounds and make enemies run away from them for a moment (Robin Hood Legend of Sherwood). In addition, new buildings for net weavers could be built, which could be used to catch fish near rivers. The worker sails out on a boat, throws nets, pulls out fish, lands them on the shore, kills fish with an axe on a stump in his building and takes 8 units of fish in the net to the granary and goes to get a new net for the supply store. Beehives, in addition to wasps for defense (just like with cows for throwing or producing leather armor), there would be honey as an additional unit of food as a jug of honey 6 units, for example produced by a beekeeper. There could also be some kind of vegetable garden with carrots, onions, radishes and lettuce, e.g. for 4 units to the granary as a basket of vegetables and a henhouse, so that there are also eggs, e.g. as 4 units of food a basket of eggs. Female characters could take care of the garden and eggs :) Thus, by adding another 4 types of food, you can gain more popularity points, thanks to which you will be able to raise taxes. Units could stand on the mobile tower, not just climb it, e.g. 9 MAX units could fit on it and shoot from it when it is brought to the besieged castle. You could also place trebuchets on towers or walls to throw tar from a distance, and if it spilled on units, archers would know how to use braziers :) And they could light it automatically, not on command like tar trenches. Or if not tar, then a new sulfur production, with which they could do the same. You could add oxen to the iron mine so that they could carry 8 pieces at a time, not just 1 manually like in Stronghold Legends. You could also make a cave in the mountain as an iron mine, so that a cart with the finished product could leave from inside (but that's just a small whim). Unless you extract additional gold this way or something? The civilian population could fight or throw stones at approaching enemy units, inflicting some minor injuries, instead of idly waiting for death...

[@proluit9516]

​@@spencersanderson1894 Because ppl don't like 3d stronghold like 2/3/legends etc. That's why they made another remaster. To be honest Stronghold 1 definitive edition new campaigns were so good

[@Earl_Grey_758]

Hello, the Definitive edition is great news, indeed. Thank you. However, if I may suggest something (despite being late about it): Stronghold Crusader trails are fairly easy to beat. It would be great to include a "challenging mode" for some of the skirmish trail games where the player would face certain restrictions (such as population cap, trading/unit/building restrictions, lowered starting resources, time limit...)

[@ashiok]

As far as I'm aware, there is a new trail coming out with this installment that will be deliberately designed to be a lot harder.

[@Darkerium]

It almost looks like a sequel I could still remember from a half-faded dream back from when I was a kid playing the original. Suffice to say it looks good, but perhaps a bit too smooth? We'll see, I'm not too sure on the new AI Lords though - their artstyle isn't matching the photorealistic one from the original AIs and is more cartoony like in Stronghold Crusader 2, which really wasn't all that good. But the new units, new content and most of the revamped visuals look great and I'm really glad you remastered the original 3D artstyle (the hall from the main menu castle, for example) rather than replacing it with 2D. I'm also hoping the new campaigns are better than the new ones in Stronghold: Definitive Edition, which were just too boring, too repetitive and intentionally frustrating rather than challening in a fun way. Looking forward to giving the demo a try and am really hoping you take feedback on this one extra seriously, this isn't just a game - it's some of the most amazing gaming memories from the 2000s some people, including me, have. Also looking at all the new visuals and artstyle just lets the imagination run wild on everything Stronghold Crusader 3 could be - should you ever decide to make it, of course.

[@Argentavis]

Well said and great points. I hope they take feedback seriously as well because as you said, this is a huge deal to players.

[@rusenemirramazanoglu7761]

@Argentavis Definitely, especially the wall and tower graphics look very childish and alien. It would be better if the art style of the old lords was the same as the new lords. It would also be good to be able to give more specific orders to the AI ​​lords and a relationship meter could be made for this. For example, sending troops to the desired point on the map or sending another AI material. The ST:CR and ST:CR Extreme version can be combined.

[@saifwar7251]

They need to make a stronghold crusader 3 with the same art style new ai new map new skirmish and improve the ai to be more challenging

[@ashiok]

IMO they could, maybe, make it so that a 'classic' graphics mode is an option?

[@Darkerium]

@ that would be awesome, the same way Diablo II: Resurrected has the classic graphics option, however, it probably isn't as easy to do that, so let's just keep the new visuals here and leave the old ones in the game's classsic release.

[@aryanaamirkhan3897]

Thank you for smacking me in the face with nostalgia. Will be playing my heart out sire.

[@Mustafa_Al_Bulushi94]

I hope Firefly Studios takes this feedback into consideration to enhance the game further. Here are my suggestions: 1- Balance Unit Strengths: Crossbowmen are currently overpowered, while most, if not all, Arabian units feel significantly underpowered. Introducing a "Rock-Paper-Scissors" dynamic among troop units could help establish proper counters and create more strategic gameplay. 2- Limit Siege Engines: Set a maximum of 30 engineers per siege engine type, ensuring a balanced distribution, such as 15 catapults, 15 fire ballistae, 10 trebuchets, 7 battering rams and siege towers, and 30 shields per player at any time. Additionally, fix the bug where engineers and siege engines do not despawn after siege engine is destoried. This change would prevent catapults from being exploited as an all-powerful unit capable of destroying everything in seconds. 3- Restrict Industrial Buildings: Limit the number of industrial buildings (e.g., woodcutters, quarries, iron mines) based on the map settings. This adjustment would prevent online games from devolving into a spam of woodcutters to inflate population numbers. 4- Dynamic AI Lords: Allow AI lords to adapt their AIV (castle design) and troop distribution based on game progress. Implementing machine learning or similar mechanisms could enable them to modify their strategies and castle layouts to better match evolving scenarios. 5- Bug Fixes: Address all existing bugs as identified in the Unofficial Crusader Patch (UCP) along with all UCP features such as healing units..etc... Hopefully, we will see some, if not all, of these improvements in future updates!

When it comes to balancing they might do that, considering that they DID nerf portable shields (you can no longer put them on walls)
