Release of the unofficial Android ARM64 ports of Stronghold HD, Stronghold Crusader HD, and Stronghold Crusader Extreme HD, packaged in one APK.

Changes

  • Install directly from original GOG offline installers on Android, with language selection, size confirmation, progress, and cancellation.
  • Support known localized GOG HD 1.41 executables through SHA-256-checked normalization in a private cache, preserving the original installation and language assets.
  • Manage supported Unofficial Crusader Patch features for Crusader and Extreme, plus reversible ZIP asset and localization packs.
  • Use the launcher, port settings, and UCP selector in 11 interface languages, selected independently of the game language.
  • Use icons from the original game's GM1 assets; improve profile persistence, input handling, and dialog rendering.
  • Reduce APK size with compressed native game libraries, prepared and verified separately for each edition.
  • Update build tools, regression checks, dependency pins, documentation, and license notices.

Requirements

  • Android 9 or later, ARM64 (arm64-v8a), and OpenGL ES 3.0.
  • Your own original PC game files. Select an installed game folder, import its ZIP, or select the folder containing the GOG offline installer and all adjacent BIN parts. Original game assets are not included.
  • About 65 MB of free internal storage per prepared edition. The first launch takes longer while its native library is unpacked.

Known limitations

  • The new ARM64 JNI extraction and loading path in this compact APK has not yet been tested on a physical Android device.
  • UCP support covers selected Legacy features; arbitrary UCP3 Lua plugins and Windows DLL/ASI mods are unsupported.
  • LAN interoperability with Windows, full campaign playthroughs, and prolonged sessions remain unverified.
  • Full proofreading of all interface translations by native speakers is still pending.

Verification and download

The attached APK passed signing-certificate and v3-signature verification, package/version checks, ZIP integrity and alignment checks, complete native-payload decompression and SHA-256 checks, and 16 KB ELF alignment checks. The 16 build-configuration, interface-localization, and UCP checks also passed.
