Hi, im Phil Cassidy im a modder (not the bad kind) i've modded several games GTA, Metal Gear Online 3 (Bandana mod & free customization mod), Metal Gear Survive and Stronghold Crusaders (just now)
I'm a big fun of customization, that is why i like to modify my game as much as possible, i always try to do it via coding or memory editing like in this case.
I've play Stronghold crusaders since child, no other strategy game has the magic of Stronghold, AI with personalities is not something you usually find out there.
Lets get to what matters:
Change the colour of your army to whichever you want.
First, you gotta download Cheat Engine.
Second, open your stronghold game, go to the Skirmishes menu, choose the opponents you wanna face, the map you wanna play, options, etc.
Open your Cheat Engine, open the process of your game (click the computer in the upper left corner, go to the tab "processes" >Stronghold exe
after that you gotta start a scan, Pay attention:
TICK THE "HEX" box ✓
SCAN TYPE: Search for this array
VALUE TYPE: Array of byte
in VALUE introduce this:
Double click the second one (00AB6E58)
It should be added to your list below
Tick the box to the left, this is necessary because it will freeze the value, otherwise when you start the match, the game will reset it.
alright, now modify the value, the one that you care is the forth one:
List:
Blue - 01
Red - 02
Orange - 03
Yellow - 04
Purple - 05
Black - 06 <--Everyone's favourite
Cyan - 07
Green - 08
And that should do it, now you can save this as a table and not worry about doing all the steps all over again.
There are other interesting things that can be done via memory editing for example you can play together with an IA in the same castle, so for example you make a very strong castle with the aiv village editor, while you can focus on attack the ai will take care of the economy etc.
Alright that's it for now, cheers!
