Unused Graphics#

Misc.#

chartest#

Don't kill me just because I totally didn't kill your father.

A very basic drawing of a stick figure holding a knife.

pig_attack#

This graphic would have been used in the invasion menu from the freebuild gamemode. Unfortunately one of the developers forgot to implement this, rendering it unused.

corpyright#

An unused copyright graphic. Note how the filename is misspelled as "corpyright."

credits#

Unused graphic for the credits.

Villain Placeholders#

Placeholder icons for when a villain messages the player.

Rat

snake

pig

wolf

Sketches#

A bunch of sketches that go unused.

crossbowman_sketch

army_sketch

heads_on_spikes_sketch

While "heads on spikes" are used as decorations, its sketch is unused. Clicking on "heads on spikes" doesn't do anything.

The snake's wish.

siege_engineer_sketch

stockpile_sketch

trader_sketch

tunnelor_sketch

Note how the filename is misspelled as "tunnelor."

weapons_sketch

fearfactor_sketch

This sketch is an identical duplicate of stocks_sketch (not stockpile_sketch).

2 Unused Locked Category Buttons#

Stronghold-locked_people_category_button.png Stronghold1-locked_ruins_category_button.png

These 2 images are in interface_buttons.gm1. You never get to see these category buttons get locked.

Regional Differences#

Maps#

The map for the Military Campaign is different depending on the game's language setting. The Chinese version reuses the map of England. The USA map is DLC.

The Bard's Song#

Left-clicking the bard several times in the German version makes him sing a very out-of-place song. This was removed in the HD patch.
