I suggest a starting castle option for HoMM3 2008: Stage 1: Barbarian (already chosen) Stage 2: Knight Stage 3: Barbarian (Inferno Castle) Stage 4: Death (Nature) Stage 5: Dark Elves (Inferno) Stage 6: Warlock (definitely, as all others have already been used) Stage 7: Wizard (possibly Sorceress) Stage 8: Tower (Dungeon) Stage 9: Order Stage 10: Orda (Fortress) P.S. But in general, the organizer will know best which castle to choose depending on the specifics of the map for the tournament.
