[edit] Overview

The Castle is the homeland of Clerics and Knights. Most of the town's guard are men-at-arms, but some say that Castles have formed an alliance with griffins and are under the protection of angels. With two ranged attack troops and two flying creatures, the Castle's army can easily overtake and defeat the enemy.

In Heroes III, the Castle plays the role of a traditional "good" town formed mostly of humans. It is a nice, well-balanced town with strong creatures.
