Hello Mattele, shoot me a private message with your questions, and I'll do my best to answer.

Thanks,

Nice to see someone getting some use out of those textures. Thanks for giving them a home.

Unfortunately, I'm going through a computer transition right now. So, even if I wanted to, I can't do anything to the mod at the moment. But if it really bothers you, you could always replace the cursors with another .gr2 file. Just make sure you have the file's texture in the same folder.

As for editing .gr2 files, I have never changed a granny file. The software needed to do so is far to expensive for individuals. I made the mod through replacing models and editing the textures. Every .gr2 file in the mod is from either the native game, or Stronghold Legends. You can use GrannyViewer to look at the models, but not change them.

Yeah, I know. There were A LOT of things I hadn't finished. Lots of experimental stuff that I couldn't quite get to work. (the boat warriors for example) The mod is far from finished.

That being said if you were interested in making your own patch, I'd throw it up here for everyone to download. Really, the mod is for everyone to do with what they please. Pick it apart, reuse some textures, change some things. Make it your own.

I know there is a steam version of SH2, but I'm unaware of any recent remastered version. In the past, I was working on a smaller secondary mod for SH2 that I might release in the future. But that mod would just be pure cosmetic changes. Nothing like what Imperium Condita was meant to be.

The version this mod was built on is v1.4.1
You should be able to download and install this version from this link. (http://stronghold2.heavengames.com/downloads/showfile.php?fileid=1214)

When you copy the files to create a second Stronghold 2 folder, you need to copy the stronghold 2.exe as well. This should launch the mod from the new folder.

Unfortunately, I will probably have to leave the mod as it is. I simply don't have the time, nor the motivation to continue a project his big. I might release another smaller mod I was also working on in the future, but that would be more of a cosmetic change to the vanilla game.

Bravo gentlemen, bravo.

Carpeta de texturas

I can tell.

I already mentioned this in my first comment. Warcustoms for specific factions (other than rome) are being planned out. But these take a lot of time to make and script. So there won't be many of them. That is for the players to create, and add to.

Hard to say. There's still a ton of work to be done. I wouldn't hold your breath right now, but we'll get there. Eventually.

Good opportunity to expand your horizons. lol

But there will be much more than kingmaker. There will be a new campaign, new war missions, freebuilds, and you are still in control for kingmaker. If you want an eastern city/army, you can make that happen. Same with any other culture. Its just the AI that are uncontrollable in what they build.

You can see specifically what factions a unit is available to in the unit previews I've been making.

Here's the basic premise for factions. These factions are chosen and aligned by their matching color in the game. So Rome is red, Gaul is green, Macedon is purple, etc. The 2 gladiators, Iberians, and the Greek Cities are not actual characters in the campaign, so they will mostly be for Kingmaker mode. All factions will have the look and feel of their historical counterparts through custom missions. So for example, if you are playing a mission against the Britons, you are going to see wood buildings, and Celtic swordsmen. If you play a mission against Parthia, everything will look eastern, and you'll be fighting Horse Archers and Eastern Infantry. Kingmaker is where things get sloppy, since I can't control what units they use in that. But hey. The world's not perfect. I've had some requests to play as other factions besides Rome. So even though your color is red, I'm going to make missions for other cultures. Where buildings and troop types are limited to that faction. Considering the way SH2 is set up, this is the best I can do to add some variety.

The third map is a custom kingmaker map.

lol If you've got questions, feel free to ask. I just can't give you a release date.

Glad you're looking forward to it.

If you were able to run it before without any problems, no. However, there is a feature which (although enhances appearance) does slow down gameplay. This feature can easily be disabled. But, it would be better to run this mod with a reasonably good comp.

The short answer is money. That's why stronghold 3 sucked. (imo) They wanted the game to make money, so they cranked it out before it was ready.

Glad you're excited for the mod. Hopefully it wont disappoint.

You have no idea how many people have tried (and failed) to make that happen. lol There is one way that I know of, which can change your color. However, it replaces every part of a model which has color, with your banner. That means that, while you could change your banner to whatever you wanted, it would never look quite right. (believe me, I've tried)

This is the new marketplace building.

Would if I could, man. Would if I could.

What's wrong with the swords? Or do you mean the animation?

One word. Slow.

Well, just curious. Thanks for the reply.

Just out of curiosity. Does this game still need voice actors?

I have no idea how this is the first I'm hearing about this project, but if its still alive, you guys rock!

Well Mr. Anonymous, I do not have a release date as of yet. Is it playable? Technically no. There is still a lot of work to be done. But progress is being made.

I haven't. Its a cool game, but I never really got into it. Plus most of my free time is spent on Imperium Condita.

These are changes that I cannot make. To my knowledge, there is no easy way to make changes to the stats of units and buildings. Perhaps you should try building tunnels to knock down those towers. As for the bread, I have no idea how I could change the way players gather food. Sorry.
