there is one thing, coming with the new system, which bothers me for a few days now....

What's the purpose to take a castle?

1000 gold!?!?!?!


What's the real purpose of a castle under current system?
I mean most of good players just tear down their walls & towers just in the very first turn. what's left then? Nothing but a big highway!

defending bonus? you are already dead if your ass is the castle and the enemy is kicking it...excepting maybe for clan wars...which by way there were not many la lately.

Most of the players build their building outside, so what's the point in owning your very first castle? What's the point in owning other castles since you can build as many barracks as you want and mostly you need your barrack built near the battle field?

Also I just found out another bad part.

It used to be if you took a Castle with Barricks in it you got the troops they had trained and the techs along with it.

I just took over a castle in 2 different camps and both had no techs (even though he had just put out a Maceman in one) and they only had 4 points in each barricks.

The barracks thing makes sense to me. If you take over an enemy castle, chances are his troops won't want to fight for you...so you have to start from scratch.

yes, but you get the techs

But why take a castle ... just build and build barracks

G you besides the gold you get tribute points and points win the game
