This is a part of the 
troop building suggestion 
------------------------------------------------
Build castle
    IF money=1.2*(castle cost) OR desirabilty>7
    CHOOSE prov with highest "desirability points"     
     a) has indie troop with (ress. cost)>14  2pts
     b) will give (combinedress)>66 [BASE w/o scales]
	  AND isn't next to another castle    1 pt
        OR (combinedress)>99                  2 pts
     c) has site with allows special troops      1pt
        has site with allows special commanders  2pts
     d) has 4 land neighbours, of which 2 are not owned AND not neighbouring owned provinces 1pt
     f) would have 2 castle neighbours -2 pts
------------------------------------------------
I'm not shure if a-d wouldn't need a nation-specific weighting, but I tried to get along without anything such. This would keep the code compatible not only with any nation/themes but any thinkable mod, too. (At least most of them, admittedly)
