| '''Banned secondary skills:'''
| |
| | |
| 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.

| | |
| | == Strengths and weaknesses == |
| | === Strengths === |
| | *Overall powerful units |
| | *Good variety of units including two Flyers ([[Griffin]]s/[[Royal Griffin]]s and [[Angel]]s/[[Archangel]]s) and two ranged units ([[Archer]]s/[[Marksman|Marksmen]] and [[Monk]]s/[[Zealot]]s). |
| | *Easy to create fast moving heroes, with [[Griffin]]s/[[Royal Griffin]]s and [[Stable]]. |
| | *[[Pikeman]]s/[[Halberdier]]s are one of the best 1st tier units, second only to [[Centaur]]s. |
|
| |
|
| {{user commentary|
| | === Weaknesses === |
| * 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. | | *The [[Mage Guild]] is limited to level 4. |
| * Build and upgrade Portal of Glory by the cost of neglecting other dwellings and mage guild, or even recruiting other creatures. | | *Relatively expensive town. Hard to obtain the required 6 gems/week, without resource silo providing them. |
| * Divide Archangels in several stacks (preferably in the multiples of three), so they can resurrect each other. | | *The 6th tier dwelling, [[Training Grounds]] is the extremely hard to build, as it requires 30 woods. |
| * 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:'''
| | == Additional Information == |
| * Many useful creature specialties. | | * Alignment: Good |
| * Versatile units including two [[flying]] units, two [[ranged attack|ranged units]]. | | * Native Terrain: [[Grass]] |
| * [[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:'''
| | == See also == |
| * Second most expensive creatures, [[Tower]] having the most. Hard to obtain the required 6 gems/week. | | *[[Leadership]] |
| * The 6th level dwelling ([[Training Grounds]]) can be hard to build, as it requires 20 {{W}}. | | *[[Morale]] |
| * 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.
