What was your first castle in Heroes 3?

The first time I played, when I was only 4 years old, I chose the Castle as my starting faction, but when I reached the Inferno Castle belonging to an ally, I just stayed there (I didn't understand why). Then I left the castle and defeated the enemy hero with a single archer. I was very happy then, not realizing that the opponent had a more powerful hero. And then, let's just say, I got blown away by the Vampire Lords, killing only three out of twenty. Since then, I've really loved Heroes 3, and later I also came to love other games in this series.
