If you were to start a project, would you choose in SD or HD?

I notice that some people prefer SD while others favor HD. Now that you can toggle between SD and HD terrain, would you still create your project in SD but use the HD terrain? Or would you go all-in with either full HD or full SD?

Edit 1: Even custom campaigns.

Depends on the genre.

RPG/MOBA -> HD
Castle Wars / Massive army size -> SD

I think SD is the safest move, though. Plus you get the benefit of dealing with smaller file sizes and a decade+ of user made content.

SD all the way. Less performances issues -> more people can play and enjoy it !

I would choose SD because the Hive community has reverse engineered code to render the SD graphics, but not the HD graphics.

So, tomorrow if the Reforged 2.0 servers shut down to spite us and there was no official way to play the game, my SD custom project could still be played with other people online and without cracked software of questionable legality, because we can render those SD graphics as their own game using a project like Warsmash even if people don't use Warsmash because they don't like me, specifically. It's based off of "View in 3D" for Hive model downloader, and there are a bunch of other similar rendering programs, which themselves might likewise be used as game engines down the line.
