Hi.
This is a great idea. The lords are actually 5.
I am thinking about publishing a beta with 6 lords as soon as I am able to complete the next Lord. This way I can give you an early version to enjoy.

Hi!
Unfortunately now, I don't know why but that seems to be impossible to fix.
I wonder if it's the way the videogame reads the pixel colors only for the european swordsmen. Every unit has a sort of "shader" sprite with some flashy metal parts that should never get colored by the player color and I guess the problem comes from that, since it's really the only thing different from the arabian swordsman's sprite.

Sorry but I am currently in a busy period of my life. When I find enough time I will focus again on finishing this mod.

You're right, this is a really good suggestion for the trail. I will keep it in mind! I prefer a little trail of good quality, rather than repetitive 50 maps. Besides, (little spoiler) the next Lord have a lore intertwined with another vanilla lords, so they MUST be in the same map.
Thank u so much for the reflection on the trail :)
I am editing the summary to say some vanilla Lords will be included.

Hi! Thank u for your kind words! I'm glad this mod is being appreciated so much. Yes, I would love to make a custom trail of 20 maps or so, but I still have to figure out how to mod the trailmap, so it's possible I wouldn't be able to make that at all. I think I will probably put some vanilla lord here and there for creating some interesting match situation. :)

Hi, I think it might take more or less up to 4 months. I am working on the next lord now :)

Hi bro! Do you mean the soldiers in stronghold crusader? I'm sure it is doable but it would require a lot of time and it's hard to edit the game sprites.

Hi! Thanks for the question! You can find some of the used software in the mod's summary. When I get more free time I want to make a video tutorial on how to make mods :)

Hi! Can I ask u to please be more specific about this mod?

Hi! For more troops I think you should play Crusader Extreme. Or you could change the max AI attacking troop number from 200 to 500 by using UCP Unofficial Crusader Patch.

Hi! Thanks for the question.
Unfortunately the mod is still a work in progress, I have to finish the last 3 lords and I am finding myself in short of the free time needed to do that these days. But the mod's not dead, it will just take some time

Hi!
--> addons
--> V 1.2 - Colored Swordsman Reskin by alessandro neithad
--> Download red button
Enjoy!

Hi! Thanks for sharing this.
Same here, it would be awesome to see something "extra" and not just reskins. But as far as I know I have never seen a unit nor a Lord added to the maximum amount of the in-game vanilla limit :( it probably would be too much trouble for a modder, as for today.
That's why I reskinned the gallows into wooden walls, at least it feels like having one extra defence option in your building roster. I have seen a youtuber reskinning unit from scratch by also making incredible 3D voxel models, his mod is Stronghold Crusader Vikings from Hacksulze, I suggest u go check it if you want a brand new experience, it looks really promising, he is a really devoted and skilled modder.
As for my mod, I hope the final experience will be pleasing as well :)

Hello! Thanks for the great question and for the kind feedback!

No need to worry! Installing mods for Stronghold Crusader might look tricky but it really isn't. I will provide a detailed readme file with all the step-by-step explaination for the installation of the mod. I will also make sure to publish a video on how to install everything, for the visual-learners and make everything clearer and simpler, so that the mod can be easily accessible :)

Hi! I think you might have asked this question already in the comment section on the Summary of this mod. I have already answered you there :)
Thank you kindly for the interest! :D

Hi! Many thanks for the question.
Yes, you need the unofficial crusader patch to make this mod work. The mod is already cited in the "Used softwares for editing the lords" section of the summary.
No worries, I will make it as easier as possible to install, I'll explain all the steps in a read.me file and make a tutorial video for the installation once the mod is complete.

Hi! Thank u for the comment. I tried to translate it with google translator.
I'm sorry but the mod is still a work in progress. As soon as I will have the time needed to finish it I will put the download in this MOD DB page.
As I am very busy with my thesis and graduation, it will take some time.

Hi! Thank u for the kind words! :D
Truly I wished to make up for the fact that stronghold 1 never had a skirmish mod hehe.
I will do my best to create Lords that will have personality and that can pose a challenge.
Yes of course, they can be used in skirmishes! Castle trail will be a feature only if I am able to modify the game code to alter the vanilla castle trail :) but for now the Lords work perfectly in skirmish like they normally would. Stay tuned!

Hi SABA0SABA! Thank u so much for your interest and for your kind comment!
It is not possible to my knowledge to add new Lords while keeping the 16 vanilla ones intact as I have never seen the total number of lords being higher than 16 in any mod. I have seen it being less (around 11 lords in Stronghold essentials) but not more. So the only way to do it is to replace some Lords, I am replacing only the 8 lords of the updated version (phillip, wazir and so on) while maintaining the 8 historical ones (rat, pig, saladin etc.).
In the new lord showcases I always show the castle compositions as there are only 2 for each lord for now. But yeah, I think I can do a whole video about the crusader textures of each in the future as an extra! If I prepare that video, would u like me to put your comment on it as a way to thank you for the idea?
Anyway I am making the mod to be designed for an European environment, but I might add the modified textures (wooden walls and so on) for a desert experience too in the future for sure.

Hi! Thanks for the comment and for the interest.
The mod is not dead. I am currently working on the next Lord and always sending updates on my YT channel as well. As I wrote in the bio of the mod, it takes about 15 days to fully make a Lord. This is due to the fact I am writing my graduation thesis now, so I don't have a lot of time lately to fully commit to the mod. I am sorry if it takes a lot of time and I will hope you will be there to see the final result.

Thank you soooo much for the kind feedback!
