Stronghold Crusader 0.3-dev

Pre-release build of the unofficial Android ARM64 ports of Stronghold HD, Stronghold Crusader HD, and Stronghold Crusader Extreme HD. All three editions are packaged in a single APK.

You need your own PC game files to play. Original game assets are not included in the APK.

• New touch control layout editor: move individual buttons, resize them with pinch gestures or sliders, preview the layout while the game is paused, and apply or discard changes with Save and Cancel.
• Show, hide, and position each button independently. The left mouse button starts hidden; the existing unit group and map bookmark wheels remain available.
• Side zones support vertical command lists or separate actions for tapping and holding. Each zone can be moved and resized; empty zones are invisible and do not intercept touches. Tapping the same zone again closes its list.
• Holding the scribe's book opens a configurable command list. The default actions are Configure Controls and Pause Menu. You can also swipe to select a command and release to execute it.
• All three games support smooth 50-250% zoom and a zoom indicator. Minimap swipes can start anywhere within the active area and move the camera four times faster than in 0.22.
• Fixed the pink flash when a building owner's crest fades out. Removed redundant redraws and optimized hot rasterization paths.

Earlier measurements on another Android test device showed approximately 18% lower CPU usage in a castle-building scenario. Results vary with the device, map, and settings; version 0.3-dev has not been profiled separately.

Version 0.3-dev passed automated checks, APK signature verification, and 16 KB page alignment checks. Its DEX and all three native libraries are byte-for-byte identical to the gameplay-tested 0.25-dev build. Full campaign playthroughs and extended battles with large armies have not yet been tested.
