Your favorite Castle
So,i made this topic specially for giving you reasons of why you might choose the Cove (look at the HoTA Topic for more information) or Conflux Castle.If you don't like my reasons,or don't like the castle by itself,you could post here your favorite castle,and the reason why you think,and also if you have a favorite creature in that castle,don't forget to say 
Here are my reasons for choosing a Cove:
1.They have lots of Navigators and Captains,witch have the basic/advanced navigations,and are very usefull in an island,or normal water-contented level.
2.They have cannons witch is simply a reason,cuz cannons used by a navigator or a captain as i heard,could do lots damages.
3.There have awsome creatures,like the Haspid
4.It is the faction witch the game is based on/it is a new interesting town.
5.Some creatures like the Nymphs/Oceanids,the Stormbird/Ayssid and the Sea Serpent/Haspid could move over any hedge on only one move,and this is very good for the moving trick.
And here ends all about Cove,and down there are the reasons of choosing Conflux:
1.They could use any element spells.
2.Theyr elemental troops are imune to elemental spells
3.They have less cost to learn element spells
4.They have more Magic releated construction in,like the Pixies River,and the Magic University,or Artifact Merchant.
5.The creatures were neutral creatures before the AB release,and when it released,the Conflux was a likely new castle.
So try to type here your favorite castle,and the reasons (5,could be more,but not less)and i am gonna make a poll of the most voted castles.

My favorite castle is Castle.
It's because in earlier edition it's named Knights and in later Haven, so I only know of one town in one game with this name.
 Sorry.

Reasons would be helpfull.
My opinion about the Castle is that the only reason why is special,is because it has the original myths from Heroes III,and because was used on the first originally game.
And sure,because is representing the Enroth's main castle.
But i still preffer Cove,and maybe the Kreonlog,or the Cathedral

I just played it again, and now I know why I liked it: its the only new town in the hota lol
and also, those who designed the town and the town structures are just AWESOME.
its very very very appealing (and the water sound I believe)
and also the cannon.
all of this in addition to the cool lvl 7 poisonous snake (not sure the ability, but it cost sulfur)

Inferno for me.
This faction fill like stronghold, focused on first strike and hand to hand damage. Expensive town to build but have some advantages:
- Devils are of the fastest units in game behind AA, Az. Dragon and Phoenix
- Inferno portals which works like town portal spell.
- Efreets immune to Armageddon, fast and fire shield.
- Balanced might hero with can operate both in combat and magic
- More inferno means less cost to make upgrades. Need only 1 fully builded town and secondary towns with castle and all c. dwellings and city hall.

+10 for that one Sala xD
As for me, it comes down to single or multiplayer.
But my top 3 town candidates, regardless of above, will be Inferno, Stronghold and Tower.
Inferno for the Demon herding along with the tactical use of the devils and efreets vs the map. The ability to win tough fights by sacrificing troops to raise demons can spare losses of powerful units, given that one is lucky not to get enemy morale. A small downside can be fighting the creature dwellings and the map being less resource rich than others.
Stronghold for its brutal assault power, easy town building and of course Mr.Hack (if one allows hero picking, otherwise it is always handy to have access to Barbarians). I also find most creatures except Goblins and Orcs to be some of the most effective ones in the end fight. Also the creature dwells are relatievely easy to fight. Rough terrain is okay to start on. Only downside in my opinion is the army speed.
Tower is a mix of the two above. The tower army is annoying to fight, even worse if Orb of Inhibition is present. Since only 5 of the 7 town units are needed for the end fight the weak Gargoyles can be used as excellent fodder. The pick between Golems or Genies vary depending on numbers and foe. The dwellings are rather easy to tackle. The high resource cost for buildings is normally not a problem unless the map is somewhat small. Titans on M1W2D2 is also handy when clearing the map. Biggest downsides would be the starting terrain, need of luck to get a good might hero and the slow army speed.

Titans W2D2? Its not possible unless you get very very lucky Jebus. Tower just sucks all around in multi.

Perhaps you should spend more time sharpening your skills fighting the map instead of talking here if you find that impossible? It is not so bloody hard to accomplish. The only real luck involved is finding a trading post, and on snow I always tend to have at least one on every map.
As for Tower in the end battle, it comes down to a lot of things, as does everything. But a good thing for you to do is to set up a fixed map with both sides clashing with 5/7 tower armies and angels/wyverns. Now if Tower is so useless as you claim, they won't win a single battle. And I assure you, I have been testing these things out many times, deviding a castle into map play and end fight play. Tower does fine on both accounts, it has weaknesses and it has its strengths.
But alas, I reason like I do and just because I do so does not mean it is right or wrong Revolution. You have your personal preferences for your certain reasons and since this thread is about your favorite town there is really no one who can say it is right or wrong. You simply favour one town you heart either loves or you enjoy working with.

I do not like cove at all, just the theme does not suit me and imo this does not suit all other factions, a bit random and forced. yeah, ts is noce and some units... but would see instead that Norse faction or Dark Cathedral.
+ for using terrain (sea) that was not "inhabited" by any other faction
My favourite castles are fortress and dungeon. If only one, I would go for the second one:
- many cool abilities that give plentyful interesting strategies
- cool special buildings (mana wire, portal of creaatures)
- besides troglodytes, like all creatures, some are very well done
- love architecture and concept
- underground faction- only that uses this terrain
