So I am trying to take screenshots of all the AI castles in the game, so Iv'e been doing the remove all of the other 7 AIV trick to take screenshots of each AI's different castles. The screenshot is saved to my documents but I cannot open it. I've done some research and people are saying to open it in paint to save it as a jpeg because it saved as a bmp, but paint will not open it either. The error says "Paint can not read this file. This is not a valid bitmap file, or it's format is not currently supported." I'm running windows 8.1 and the game itself is from steam. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am completely stumped as of now.

I don't know what button you're currently using to take the screens, but try using PrtScr in-game and DIRECTLY PASTE in Paint, then save as a jpg.

You can also use Fraps. It is a program by which trial version you are able to make bmp screenshots and those can easily be converted to jpg the way you described. It may be better if you want to make more screenshots and you don't want to minimize and restore the game several times... Unfortunately Steam overlay doesn't work in Stronghold Crusader HD no Stronghold HD.

Very funny. Did you know you can use ALT+F after writing a post here to submit it instead of hitting Submit Reply button with the mouse? It works pretty great especially after writing a long post.
