[QUOTE="hoffrg86, post: 9460963, member: 6792463"] 2e saw it cut back & ultimately 3rd was the removal of mercenaries, hirelings, strongholds and domain play. 2e players, that wanted/used more likely had the 1e books anyway - 1e and 2e had some overlap in shelf space, I have 1e & 2e dmg's.. 1e is far superior in that content. 2e added Domain play back with Red Steel, and the Rules Cyclopedia(BECMI), we again used all that. I have a party that I said, we will use 1e/RC hireling, mercenary and domain rules.. crickets /its there if they want. 2e started the age of heros, and that continued into 5th, who needs a merc to take money and glory, a stronghold to rule while there is foes to crush?! I guess someone wanted the strongholds, because Matt C. put out a 3rd party book, some in the OSR herald, and 3rd had some stuff, then most seasoned dm's would pull the old stuff off the shelves - like myself. --I've played all incarnations of D&D, except 2024, and currently in active ad&d 2e and OSE - B/X games. To pull it back into what 5e did right.. the system [5th] in that regards is loose enough that these diaspora of editions/rules could be pulled in easy if the dm is inclined... made better sense in a supplement, and more the better that Matt C got it right, as WOTC has been souring me lately.
