This game needs to be 3D but it also needs to look good and be optimised at the same time. Hopefully FF have learnt some things with SH2/L allowing them to create a game with better graphics, in my opinion there were too many flat textures in SH2 and too much recycling in SHL.
Please do not add gong, crime and rats, just keep it basic. I felt SH2 added too much, it became annoying for me whereas SH1 is the perfect balance. More does not always mean better. The honor system worked quite well but that was the only addition to the series I enjoyed if i'm honest.
Let us zoom out and build on large maps, SH2 was too restrictive. I could not build the castles I had dreamed of in SH2/L because there was not enough space. Please make sure we have at least the same space as SH1.
Please add an editor, it is the reason I still play SH games

I bet that you will though
Please make sure the campaign is worthy of the title. Voice acting, story and instructions are always top notch but the map design and creativity is lacking at times. You create such fantastic tools, i'd love to see a campaign where you push the limits on what is possible. As someone who will jump right into the editor I want to envy what the devs create and get inspiration from that, this is my biggest wish.
