Most bad events will reduce your popularity for a while. But you can set your bride to low bride or something so that the bad event won't affect your popularity.
2.Heroes
Weapons: Here are the weapons heroes can use:
Crossbow(Hero Ghost) --------------- Spear(Hero Firebat)
Sword(Hero DT) --------------- Sword and Horse(Hero Vulture)
Bow(Infested Duran) --------------- Power Bow(Normal Goliath)
Rapid Bow(Normal Marine) --------------- Iron Sword(Zeratul DT)
Rapid Crossbow(Hero Marine) --------------- Power Crossbow(Hero Goliath)
And alst but not least,
Long Pike(Normal Archon)
Of course there are about 6 weapons are not in the actual Stronghold game. But, I had to add more options to the map to make it more fun.
Health: Heroes uses burrowed units as health points. Here are the HP of the weapons that are in the actual "Stronghold" game.:
Bow: 50 Infested Terran
Crossbow: 50 Drones.
Spear: 100 Infested Terran.
Sword: 50 Hero Defilers.
Sword and Horse: 50 Hero Defilers.
These are the HP for the ones that aren't in the actual "Stronghold" game:
Power Bow: 25 Defilers.
Rapid Crossbow:: 50 Defilers
Power Crossbow:: 50 Defilers
Rapid Bow:: 25 Defilers
Iron Sword:: 100 Hero Defilers
Long Pike:: 100 Defilers
Of course, the more strong the weapon is, the more expensive it is.
And so, using this system, you can't heal by just changing weapon.
Healing place is the Apothecary. You need to use some gold(gas) to heal though. Every 20 gold heals the hp of 5 units
Example: 20 gold heals 5 drone
Most HP and Armor to Least HP And Armor
Hero Defiler, Defiler, Drone, Infested Terran
!!!!!UPDATE!!!!!

I'm going to make a demo version.
Lots of features are not in the demo version. Either way, here are the features that will be in the demo.
1.There is only the "Crossbow" avaliable for choosing.
2.You can only hire some units, not all.
3. Less than 10 waves of enemies.
4. Only 4 players instead of 5.
5. All things owned by P5 means it is not avaliable in the "Demo" version.
Want to know more? Just play it
Oh, just to tell you, the terrain probaly won't be the same as the actual one when it comes out.
Stronghold Defense Demo
Coming Soon...
Something to tell you. Although in my trailer which I made in a few minutes, it says "Coming Out Spring 2005", the map might come out at Summer 2005 instead. But I really hope I can finish it before Summer.

[right][snapback]118664[/snapback][/right]
the answer to the first and second question is stated below.
1. There is a pre-built castle, but, it is destroyed in some parts so you have to kinda rebuild it. Reason: enemies come very fast, and it will take some time to build the castle, therefore i made a partly destroyed pre-built castle.
2. You mine your minerals with probes(Worker), and the stockpile(nexus) is not very close. But, of course, the minerals will be rather "valuable" therefore making up for it.
For gas, you mine it yourself too but it can't be destroyed, but remember, the higher tax you put, the faster your popularity falls. Therefore, I do no recommand setting the tax too high until you have other tax improving things. Why? You lose gold and materials at certain points of popularity.
Remember that you might have to bride the villagers when the popularity is falling or else you lose even more gold.
Anyway, the demo is 40% done, should be done tomorrow.

Good luck with this project - I used to have Stronghold, but it vanished when I changed computers. :-/
It's a fantastic game, especially when you burn people by sending flaming arrows into tar-soaked ground.
