== Overview ==
The '''Castle town''' is a good [[alignment]] [[town type]] with [[knight]] and [[cleric]] [[hero class]]es. 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.


The Castle is the homeland of [[Cleric|Clerics]] and [[Knight|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.
