I've posted this on the main site under a tutorial, but since this helps people to modify the game files which wasn't possible beforehand, I'll post a link to it here: http://www.stronghold-nation.com/article/167-enable-viewing-all-game-files   This can be a help thread in case people need assistance with it :)

I've posted a tutorial which tells you how to unarchive the game files from the '.v' format which they are in. This now means that modifying Stronghold 3 is finally possible.   To do so, you must download the following modding utility:   http://www.stronghold-nation.com/downloads/file/349-modifying-utility/   Here is the tutorial: http://www.stronghold-nation.com/article/195-unarchiving-stronghold-3-files   Let me know if anyone has any issues :)

Hey sir ! I am a software engineer , I am playing stronghold 2 since many years, Can i be apart of stronghold developers team ?   My expertise is Java  c++  javascript  Dart now  I am working on Native apps mobile development  and I am interested to have SH2 in mobile Phone .     

Would anyone be able to upload some large size (400x400) blank invasion maps for Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader where the player colour has been switched to teal?   I tried downloading the map pack by Jalis from Stronghold Heaven but all the maps were tiny size, and when I tried to resize them I can't place any buildings outside the original tiny borders. Not sure if that's a bug with the Mac version or what, but in any case it would be great if someone could help me with getting those maps
