I still want to raise a discussion on this issue.:)...
The rules are primarily aimed at beginners or people who are first encountering this text. What seems obvious to a player with some experience may not be so clear to a beginner.
In addition, the rule should be read as a law, strictly according to the letter. And if there is even the slightest possibility of interpreting the word "castle" differently than in the author's version, then clarifications are needed. For example, include a list of terms with definitions in the preamble. This is where you can show the difference between Castle and castle (Castle and castle). And also specify other terms if necessary.

You convinced me. Yes, many terms are often unclear to newcomers. In turn, they also use words with vague meanings... I still don't know where "respawn" came from.

Added a new item to section I:

7. The terms in these rules correspond to the Russian translation of the game Heroes of Might and Magic III (version 4.0), made by the company "Buka" (Platinum Series), the description in /topic/at/438535/ "Physics of the World of Heroes" and conventional designations, commonly used when describing templates.
The word "castle" in these rules refers to any city on the game map.
Specific concepts used in the game: names of castles, artifacts, objects, spells, etc. - are written with a capital letter.
Abbreviations:
GO - Main Guard (strong guard (value=45000) between zones, starting for players),
Mage Guild - Mage Guild.

Perhaps it would be more correct to replace "castle" with "city", but somehow this is too unusual.

Accordingly, in section II, I have edited the terminology:
respawn -> zone,
upgrade -> improve,
external dwelling -> Dwelling...
and proper nouns according to PhysMiGu.

Also worked as an editor, corrected some stylistic errors and slightly reformulated part of the points to make them easier to understand (those that we did not touch during the discussion - 5.3., 5.7., 5.10.4., 5.10.5., 5.11.).
THE MEANING OF THE RULES HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED ANYWHERE, only the FORM has been changed.

Read it. If everything is okay, I will translate section II into English.
