'''Castle''' is a [[alignment|good alignment]] [[town]] with the [[Knight]] and [[Cleric]] [[hero class]]es. Castle represents [[Erathia]].

''"Castles are home to the Cleric and Knight hero classes. Castle armies are primarily composed of human men-at-arms, though these towns have also formed an alliance with the griffins and are under the protection of angels. With two types of ranged attack units and two flying unit types available, Castle-based armies are well equipped to quickly engage and defeat their enemies."{{-}}^{[[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 84|RoE manual]]''}

Castle's [[native terrain]] is [[grass]].

Some skills are not available for certain hero classes, which means they can only acquire them from [[Scholar (Adventure Map)|Scholar]]s, [[Witch Hut]]s (except for [[Necromancy]] and [[Leadership]], if not allowed by a map-maker), [[Seer's Hut]]s, [[Event]]s or [[Pandora's Box]]es.

 

{{ss|Necromancy}} is not available for [[knight]]s.

 

{{ss|Necromancy}} and {{ss|Interference}}{{-wh}} are not available for [[cleric]]s.

Unless specified by the mapmaker, towns will generate with a random name. Castle towns will use one of these following names:

 

If there are more Castle towns on the map than possible names, they will use names taken from other towns.

* With two types of [[ranged attack]] units and two [[flying]] creature types available, Castle-based armies are well equipped to quickly engage and defeat their enemies.

* Build and upgrade Portal of Glory by the cost of neglecting other dwellings and mage guild, or even recruiting other creatures.

* Brothehood of the Sword increases the morale bonus of defending creatures' by +2 in additon to [[Tavern]]'s bonus. In other words, creatures defending a Castle towns with Brotherhood of the Sword have morale of +3. This becomes very useful if you want to mix troops from different town types together. However, because all [[Knight]]s start with [[Leadership]], the bonus is only valuable when using [[Cleric]] (or other [[hero class]]es) to defend the town. <!-- Revision as of 09:27, 9 August 2014 by Kapteeni Ruoska from 'Castle specific buildings' deleted page -->

* Many useful creature specialties.

* [[Stables]] can provide heroes +400 [[movement]] points per remaining day of the week, which means roughly +20% more movement for heroes.

* [[Shipyard]], [[Lighthouse]], and [[Sylvia]] with [[Navigation]] specialty are all very useful on maps with significant water area.
