castle choice
So far, what is your choice in castles? My impressions :
castles are better balanced than in dom1, but I still have some complaints. For example the castle 'castle' (80 DP, 40 admin) seems a very good choice, perhaps to good, as I find myself choosing it more often than not.
Second point, with the lower gold income of dom2, the gold cost of castles is of paramount importance. I have problems understanding why anybody would take a mountain fortress for example (except if you know you will never build a second castle, but I discuss medium sized games or above). I think that castles costing 750 gp should be cheaper.
I understand that defence, and number of arrows can be of importance, but still 750 gp is simply too much. Whats more , the gold cost is coupled with the build time, so the situation is even worse!
anyway, discussion welcome.
