VP totals from a site will not count if a castle has been found on the site.

After 6 turns, a castle on a VP site will *cost* you 1 vp.

OK, from a magic site, I've got a castle on a VP site now. But I'm not declaring vp for it (I haven't declared vp for any VP site I've held to this point).

So, is it OK to keep this fortress as long as I don't try to claim vp from that VP site (the strategic value is debatable, but I guess it does give me some small economic boost)?

If I keep it for more than 6 turns, can my vp start to go negative?

In the regard of utility, the 5 water VP provinces obviously have less use than the one land VP ("yeah, I can build all the Tritons I want" vs "I can build national mages and troops").

Don't know where I'm going with that, just something to keep in mind. In the end, I think this game will still come down to a contest of brute strength, but the vp variable may likely add an interesting twist toward the end.

The rules are that forts must be destroyed.
And yes, your vps will go negative if you do not.
