Greetings all Stronghold and Crusader gamers. Playing with the same old lord gets quite boring, doesn't it? To solve this problem, I’ve added different types of rulers. For example:
Despite the fact that the lords look well, this jigger should be considered as a simple joke. When fighting, the new rulers will probably deform.
There are two files for every character; one is to be used with the crusader lord, the other – for the Arabian.
Replacing the files is very simple:
Step 1: Find your Stronghold Crusader folder (Usually the directory is C:\ Program files\Firefly Studios) Step 2: Find a folder, named gm, open it. Step 3: Replace the files with the chosen character’s extracted files.
The original two lords are also in the .zip archive, so no fuss should emerge whenever the player would want to play with the real rulers again.
Great suff, AZ!I like the electro-chicken, which when fights turns into a jester :D Besides it's funny to see how the Saladin's lord is european :D

Thanks guys for trying the models, I hope you will have fun with them. I am going on vacation, so probably I will post a few more utilities later as well as a three part map series. Have fun playing!

The Dragonheart, just extract the files three times. First, the .rar archives named other creatures or human, then the chosen character, and later the two gm files. I have archived the files three times to lower the size. Have fun playing ;D

Well I didn't use it at all. Creating such things is very easy, no programs or editors are needed :) The hex editor can help you exchange the colors in the map, that's how the template maps are made. Try googling for XV132 if you find it useful.
