| | '''Castle''' is a good [[alignment]] [[town type]] with [[Knight]] and [[Cleric]] [[hero class]]es. Castle armies are primarily composed of human men-at-arms, though these towns have also formed an alliance with the [[griffin]]s and are under the protection of [[angel]]s. 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. Castle represent [[Erathia]]. |

| |
| | |
| 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.

| {{user commentary| | | == Creatures == |
| * 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.
| | {{Castle creatures}} |
| * Build and upgrade Portal of Glory by the cost of neglecting other dwellings and mage guild, or even recruiting other creatures.
| | {{Creature table}} |
| * Divide Archangels in several stacks (preferably in the multiples of three), so they can resurrect each other.
| | {{Castle creature table}} |
| * 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 -->

| '''Pros:'''
| | == Strategy == |
| * Many useful creature specialties.
| |
| * Versatile units including two [[flying]] units, two [[ranged attack|ranged units]].
| |
| * [[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.
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Cons:'''
| | === Pros === |
| * Second most expensive creatures, [[Tower]] having the most. Hard to obtain the required 6 gems/week. | | * Many useful creature specialties: |
| * The 6th level dwelling ([[Training Grounds]]) can be hard to build, as it requires 20 {{W}}. | | ** [[Marksman]] shoots twice |
| | ** [[Royal Griffin]] always [[retaliation|retaliates]] ([[Griffin]] retaliates twice) |
| | ** [[Crusader]] strikes twice |
| | ** [[Cavalier]] has jousting bonus |
| | ** [[Archangel]] can [[Resurrection|resurrect]] |
| | * Versatile units including two [[flying]] units, two [[ranged attack|ranged units]] |
| | * [[Stables]] can provide heroes +400 [[movement]] points per day, which means roughly +20% more movement for heroes. |
| | |
| | === Cons === |
| | * Second most expensive town, [[Tower]] being the most. Hard to obtain the required 6 gems/week, without a pond or Tower town with a [[Resource Silo]] providing them. |
| | * The 6th tier dwelling, [[Training Grounds]] is the extremely hard to build, as it requires 30 woods. |
| * No units with immunity or resistance. | | * No units with immunity or resistance. |
| * Most of non-upgraded units are significantly weaker than the their upgraded counterparts; upgrading them takes time and resources.
| |
| * Fragile ranged units.
| |
| * Grass which is Castle's [[native terrain]] doesn't give any [[movement penalty]] to the enemy.
