As stated in the manual, castles provide increased security for towns. Fort adds wall to town's defenses. The wall is impassable by non-flying enemy creatures (without advanced Teleport spell), but has a drawbridge for defending creatures to pass through, back and forth if needed. Fort is a prerequisite for all creature dwellings. Additionally, building a Fort to a town changes the town's appearance on the adventure map.
The upgrade to Fort is Citadel, which adds primary arrow tower to town's defenses, and also adds a moat in front of the wall. An exception to this are Tower towns, which do not have a moat but instead building a Citadel adds several Land Mines in front of the wall. One of the greatest advantages of the moat is, that ground units end their movement to it, and cannot move further until their next round (see additional features Moat page). Note that this also works for defending creatures trying to get across the moat. Additionally, Citadel increases the creature dwellings' growth by 50%.
The final defense structure is Castle, which adds two more (secondary) arrow towers and strengthens the wall. The two arrow towers have half the strength of the primary tower added by Citadel. Further, production of creature dwellings is increased by another 50% for a total of 100%.
Types of fortifications[edit]
There are three different types of fortifications:
- Town walls, including Drawbridge
- Arrow Towers
- Moats
Fortifications strength[edit]
With the exception of moat every part of the fortications has a number of hitpoints which enable them to withstand only up to several attacks during a siege. Fortifications can only be damaged by:
The following table shows the number of hitpoints for each type of fortifications:
Fortifications' hitpoints | |||
---|---|---|---|
![]() Fort |
![]() Citadel |
![]() Castle | |
Wall segment (4 segments) | 2 | 2 | 3 |
Drawbridge | 2 | 2 | 2 |
Keep | - | 2 | 2 |
Secondary Arrow Towers | - | - | 2 |
Adventure map[edit]
In Shadow of Death there are just three visual appearances of a town: Village, Fort and Capitol (as a Fort with a flag). But the exact fortification level (fort/citadel/castle) always can be checked by an icon in the rightclick menu (the hall level is visible just for allies).
Horn of the Abyss represents towns accurately to their level of fortification.
