- 1 Skirmish Trail Campaign
- There will be around 20 missions.
- The missions will include only the Bizarre New Lords and not possibly some vanilla Lords.
- Difficulty similar to the vanilla trail campaign style
- Anyway, Lords will be perfectly usable even in custom skirmish mode and not just in the trail.
- Different gameplay style:
- Starting gold is set to 1500 instead of 2000, so smaller castles and economies will be more frequent among Lords and advisable among players.
- Spearman unit is revamped thanks to the UCP patch, now it is faster. The starting resources will provide some spears (and sometimes swords and armors), so the game mechanics will push everyone, AI lords included, to use them.
- Chainmail Swordsman VS Plate Swordsman: The european swordsman is the full plate armoured swordsman. While the Arabian Swordsman is substituted by my reskin of the colored chainmail swordsmen to fit in the European environment. Moreover, they are widely used by Lords and the game sometimes gives you swords and armors at the start of the game.
- Wooden walls: some Lord use wooden walls (a reskin I made for gallows) to secure and protect some of their castle areas.
- Lord Classes: AI Lords are meant to have a specific strenght or specialization in order to make all of them challenging one way or another. The aim is not to make a Lord which is weak or strong in all areas.
- Some edits, reskins and maps made by myself to enhache the experience
- city garden reskinned into SH1 lake and pond texture
- gallows reskinned into wooden wall
- churches edited to be lass tall compared to the SH1 vanilla variance
- light fixes to the castle tiles and walls for making them a little bit cuter and tinier
- StrongholdCrusader - Colored Swordsman Reskin by alessandro.neithad
- about 10 maps that fit the european environment
- Used softwares for editing the lords
- gm converter
- UnofficialCrusaderPatch_v2.15
- AIV village editor
- Special thanks:
- Monsterfisch for making the awesome Stronghold 1 Textures (Github.com)
- RomanNevikov for making me discover these textures and for making the amazing Lord Pack Goth, which inspired me (Youtube.com)
- Firefly Studios: for making such a great game!
- Attention:
- Please do not claim the mod files or Lords to be yours, as it would be a theft of my hard work and it would make me really sad.
- If you use my mod in any public scenario (youtube for instance), please put my name in the credits. It would be much appreciated and you would support my modding efforts.
- Please do not modify or redistribute the files of my mod.

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.
I am liking how this is looking! Love this game, and it is great to see some new lords with character after such a long time of playing! After the lords, are you planning on making a new "trail" as well? Might be interesting with new and old combined!
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. :)
Adding a combination of lords new and old is a better idea anyway (in my opinion) as it gives a lot more character. I am eager to see what ideas you can come up with, especially if they will be hard, the better! No point in making a trail just to be finished quickly, everyone will enjoy it if it is replayable!
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.
can you tell me how many day or months this mod will take
Hi, I think it might take more or less up to 4 months. I am working on the next lord now :)
hi my brother want soldiers of the lord of the rings movie
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.
