I mean that either you shouldn't have a Haven mage in your army, or you shouldn't build Chaos castles.
Except in very strange situations.

I don't know what kind of strange situations you mean, but on XL maps, it's not uncommon for opponents to have 5 or more castles each, and there are much more resources than on smaller maps. It is quite possible to fully develop 5 or more castles on XL maps, and the question of what troops to build in castles that are not of your own faction inevitably arises. As for small maps, I don't know, I haven't played them. :smile32: I like big and rich maps. In theory, when resources are scarce in a fast-paced game, you should only develop your own castles. There simply won't be enough time or money for others, so the question of "what to build in captured castles" doesn't even arise.:D
