Priority fixes

  1. [title_readability] Remove or significantly enlarge DEFINITIVE EDITION subtitle so it either reads cleanly at tiny size or is replaced with a single bold visual badge element
  2. [composition] Increase contrast and separation between the hero knight and the right-side soldier group by darkening or desaturating the midground crowd to push the primary focal point forward
  3. [uniqueness_polish] Introduce a distinctive visual storytelling element such as a castle wall or desert fortress in the background that differentiates this from generic medieval battle imagery
  4. [contrast_color] Add a subtle dark vignette to the lower and right edges to prevent the midground soldiers from bleeding into the Steam dark background at small capsule size

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [uniqueness] Add 1-2 concrete, specific improvements in the short description or opening paragraph that differentiate this remaster from other medieval RTS games or the original Stronghold Crusader (e.g., 'New dynamic weather system' or 'AI lords now learn from player tactics').
  2. [feature_communication] Replace 'quality of life improvements' with 3-4 specific examples (e.g., 'faster building placement,' 'improved unit pathfinding,' 'streamlined diplomacy menu') so players understand exactly what was refined.
  3. [hook_strength] Insert a second sentence in the short description after the action hook that explains what makes this game mechanically distinct (e.g., 'Manage economy, fortify walls, and coordinate armies in real-time' rather than relying on 'expanded remaster').
