The castle town seen form the inside

The castle town is a good alignment town type with knight and cleric 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.
