What to study

The food chain as a single strip: five production icons, one tooltip carrying the count and the stockpile, and the scribe's book beside it turning the whole economy into three numbers (94 popularity, 3840 gold, 41 of 64 housed). The panel never leaves the screen; the player reads the village by reading the strip, and the tooltip is the only place the game says how much of anything there is. Frame at about 43.4s in the Launch Trailer (Steam). No trailer burn-in, caption, or logo on this frame.

WhoLetsPlay lists Firefly Studios (Library: Stronghold Series, Stronghold Kingdoms) as YES with no conditions, citing Firefly's Terms (wholetsplay.com, checked 2026-11-06); the linked Firefly terms page no longer serves the policy text, so the primary source could not be re-verified this run. Fair-use fallback for Phase-2: frames are stills from the official Steam trailers, unofficial, not endorsed, takedown honoured within 48h.
