Hi, @rumly111. Unfortunately it is for a technical reason, not because we decided on a random version. Naturally we'd want it to support as many versions as reasonably possible, which is why initially we thought the minimum version would have to be Android 10.0 iirc but were able to lower it to 6.0. I've seen other users ask for it to support Android 4.0. I'll try to link the technical explanation we had here if that should be or any interest. |

To summarize, for the Android version you asked about we won't be able to support it due to SDL, a library we use, isn't supported below 4.1, in addition to other restrictions for things below 6.0 I'd imagine. |

We can lower the requirements to Android 4.4 if there are people ready to test it and verify that fheroes2 really works on these devices. Android 4.4 KitKat was released about 9 years ago, so not many devices are still working. |

In fact I assume many of those legacy Android devices are old tablets people have lying around. |
