No Skirmish = No Buy

Imagine you buy a refurbished diesel car, and right after you buy it, you ask the manufacturer why they didn’t add an electric motor. They make electric cars. They should have just put parts from those into the refurbished one. Right? Ignoring space and capacity. Just slam them right in ignoring all engineering principles and safety concerns and still sell the car for the same price. lol

you are not comparing apples to apples, software development is different to car manufacturing, thing before you post next time

It's a metaphor. As a software engineer, I can tell you that it could be easy, but it could also be really hard. For a 20-year-old game, I would assume that they haven't thought about modularity at all, and it would take a lot of work to port features. But again. None of us have access to the sources, so we just have to trust what Firefly tells us. But people here on the forums are trying to downplay it. As some people wrote: "Just copy the code". If it were that easy, they would probably do it. There's a reason behind this decision, and they've been very transparent about it.
So when I wrote, "You're buying a diesel" that's the DE. They told you it's a diesel and the features it has and that it's explicitly not an electric. And then people get mad about a diesel not having an electric engine. That's just wrong.

Was that really the only feature you were going to touch? I'm exited for all the improvements and new content - skirmish is like at the bottom of my list

It adds infinite replay-ability.

As a old player of stronghold, it been a long time i have not made a custom skirmish. The content itself is already fine enough. Skirmish is fun when you are 10 yo.
