Unless specified by the mapmaker, towns will generate with a random name. Castle towns will use one of these following names:

* 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 -->
