What to study
The whole game as four shields: Combat, Economic, Multiplayer, Map Editor, each a button with its own icon, over the knight-and-siege key art. The menu splits the game the way the game splits itself, combat and economy as equal first-class modes rather than one mode with the other inside it. Frame at about 51.3s in the Reveal Trailer (Steam). No trailer burn-in, caption, or logo on this frame.

Source details
Fetched 2026-11-06. verified 2026-11-06: full-res 1920x1080 review; all four menu rows, Load Game, Game Options, and the logo legible; 5 fps strip 50.3-52.3s: cut into the menu at about 51.1s (dist 245), then dists 51-96 as the painted backdrop's smoke drifts behind the static menu rows; dense frames 52-53s show the same menu; aHash+dHash 178 vs nearest manifest item (halls-of-torment-2); no Stronghold: Definitive Edition entry in manifest (1321 items).
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.
