Europeans instead of Arabs #960

Open frankemorra opened 2 years ago

frankemorra commented 2 years ago

Hello guys, I wonder, is it possible to replace all the Arabian units(troops) in Stronghold Crusader with the European ones? Has anyone ever done that by using any mods maybe? Is it possible to add this option into UCP? See, the point is just replacing Arabian lords with some Europeans and creating European battles between them in the deserts. And also, I guess it's going to have a great usage in multiplayer games too, because in my opinion multiplayer battles will be more fair, when both players will be able to produce weapons for their troops, without using Arabian units(mostly assassins) just like in Stronghold 1, and I suggest it's also going to make the multiplayer games more hard for a player than before, when a player could kill the other player in the 1st seconds of the game after no rush time, by using invisible assassins for instance. What's your overall opinion about this idea?

You can disable the Merc post on a map (forget the instructions, but I have definitely played maps like that) and only select euro lord's to achieve the same goal. As for multiplayer... Check out Krarilotus's YouTube, he regularly streams (most weekends) multiplayer of a different type. No peacetime, but no gold to start with, which makes rushing much more difficult.the custom maps also require more strategy and getting map control which makes most units used for different purposes. He has taken it a step further with a custom balance to make all units usable and to stop any units from being OP. They generally organise games on hacksulzes discord (server is German, but the multiplayer section is mostly English) if you don't want to wait for a krari stream
