What was your first castle in Heroes 3?

My first Heroes game was The Shadow of Death. When I started playing, I didn't understand the game very well and couldn't choose a faction. I vaguely remember, but I think I got the Swamp. I lost – I unsuccessfully tried to capture the enemy castles while they captured mine.
But I definitely remember the first game I won. It was the "Gnome Treasures" map, where you have to collect 75,000 gold. I played as the Stronghold and successfully used the opportunity to build a monster lair in the first week :cool:
