I would agree that castling should not be forbidden.
However I would say it's more realistic for the developers to create provinces which can't have castles built. In my opinion it should be impossible to build castles in swamp territories and even some shore-line territorities just because realistically they wouldn't Last.

Reminds me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Lancelot's Quest.

There's an amusing one. Have a random event in which castles burn down, fall over, and then sink into the swamp!

Hey, these people are volunteers! It's more like a 4th grader who offers to fight multiple kindergardners that volunteer for the attempt. I don't go stomping into newbie games to beat up on newbies: I only join the "regular" games. You can't blame me for this one. I'm perfectly open to playing somebody who's good and not an Illwinter stool pigeon.

Even better, wasn't everyone saying, the other day, that water needed more good rituals to throw gems at ? Sounds like a good one to me

Sounds like a good water spell... but provinces with mountains should be immune to the spell. If that is too powerful then perhaps make the spell where it can only target shore-line and swamp territories.

It needs to involve fire as well. Otherwise the castle can't burn down at the same time it falls over. Also, the third one stays up.
