Dark Citadel Vs. Mountain Citadel

Can anybody tell me why I would choose a Mountain Citadel over a Dark citadel as my castle type? Here are the stats:

(Type,Points,Admin,Def.,Supply,Time,Cost)
(Dark Citadel,40,20,350,150,4,600)
(Mtn Citadel,40,10,350,150,5,750)

Dark Citadel has better Admin and is faster and cheaper to build. What am I missing? Thanks for any help.

Combat performance, I think.

Plus I think some nations can't build Dark Citadels...

I think Mountain Citadel has better tower placement. Haven't tested it out tho.

Dark Citadel doesn't have archers at all. I have found assailing these to be quite easy once you break down the defense.

Mountain citadels are another matter entirely.

Pro and Con. For nations with really good archers the mountain citadel comes out ahead
