✅ Features List
I will add to this over time, so scroll down to see if I have made any additions or edits at the bottom of this post. Let me know if I'm missing any.

Edit 3:
- there no skirmish mode in this game, at least no mention of it anywhere
- we still don’t know if we’ll be getting bigger maps

In this video, here's what they said:

Features:
- 4K Resolution
- Artwork overhaul
- Upgraded animations, characters, buildings
- Steam-integrated online multiplayer (no more GameRanger)
- New Campaign
- Steam workshop support
- Fully remastered soundtrack from the great Robert L. Euvino.
- Returning voice actors
- A new castle trail of siege scenarios
- Modernized UI with a classic-mode option
- Fresh Multiplayer maps
- New audio recordings

I'm so excited.

Here are some questions and feature requests I have (am I missing some good questions or feature requests?):
- Will we get to build bigger maps than 400x400?
- How many can play online at once?
- Will we get some extra tools like the AI Castle Builder so we can customize the AI castles?
- What is the sprite limit for online multiplayer? Like, could I have a 10k-man army going against another 10k army?
- Can we get some quality of life improvements that are present in the UCP? Like adjusting game speed from 10 to 1000 is really nice.
- Will the file structure be mod-friendly? In the original Stronghold, a lot of decent mod ideas were impossible because so much stuff was baked into the .exe file
- Answered: Will we have custom hot keys? YES!:
- ARE YOU AS EXCITED AS I AM????? GOSH DANG I LOVE THAT FIREFLY IS DOING THIS.

Edit: There is no skirmish mode in the original Stronghold, so my questions about AI castle building are irrelevant.

Edit 2: New video from Jefflenious shows some UI and some more features:
- The Hidden Lookout (with different difficulty levels)
- First Blood (with different difficulty levels)
- Wishlist Now
- Feedback

they can always add something so keep this in mind its firefly they can suprise anyone like they made bonus stronghold warlords update even when they say that the update 1.10 was the final update then they said ,,guys we decide to give you a bonus final update" and realese update 1.11

Then make them update the HD with multiplayer and maps. Skirmish, perhaps.
You destroy your own arguments without even telling them straight

I already said that updates in games are meant to get more players (more players more money) and can please stop trying to find every single hole in the logic?

What logic?

That's the problem. People thinking their feelings are most important are going to jump on this game's bandwagon now.
You know what? Let them have it. Firefly can't create anything decent for years.
I'll stay with HD. Not paying four times for the same game.

stronghold crusader 2 and warlords are joke to you?
they are very good the stronghold warlords is in my opinion second best (the best is obviously crusader) I do not see a point of your fealings '-'
and btw if you want to play mutliplayer you will not be able to becouse probaly when the remake will get realeses no one will play the hd version online on game ranger so its kinda needed to play multiplayer with other people
I do not even have hd version I have box version of deluxe that I cannot use becouse
I play games on laptop

Stronghold Crusader 2 was kinda wack tho. It had good ideas but execution was meh. Warlords, I can't really say a lot about it because I played it only for couple minutes but it did kinda looked better than SC2.
I doubt every single person will stop using HD version though. Sure, some people will play remake but there also will be a lot of people playing OG version

10k sprite limit sounds fantastic! Modern systems can handle that like a boss !!

Almost limitless buildings, soldiers, etc - remove those limits - we need to go insane with quantity because it's "gloooooorious" as the Crusader genie would put it.

Nah, not paying for this.

Edit: If you move new sounds to the old game, you basically get the new game. Disgusting.
Have you ever play stronghold HD or you're just a cloud player talking ♥♥♥♥? If you have, then you should realize that HD edition has no graphic enhancement at all.

Oh I didn't realize there was a deference between Stronghold 1 and Stronghold Crusaders. So this remake is of only Stronghold 1? Meh, I guess that's cool, but I'd rather have Stronghold Crusaders since I'm more familiar with it.

Crusader is a spin-off, not a sequel or expansion pack. Stronghold 1 and Stronghold Crusader are two different games

Huge 8 AI skirmish maps to truly seal the deal for a glorious DE!!

I am sure they probably would *want* to do more modern style dynamic single-player content like sh1 skirmish, but they might not have time for it and a new campaign and the castle trail thing takes less development time and makes up for it somewhat. And you can still play user created scenarios. Would you still be interested if they added dynamic content later? They will likely work on remastering SHC and remastered crusader would have dynamic singleplayer features just as it did back then or at least it would be very off if it did not.
skirmish+1
also add/spawn some kind of riot soldiers when popularity below something like 45 or 30.
ya guys know u can exploit popularity in stronghold crusader ;)
