Hello,

Could you perhaps give an example of how this information may be used? I'm not sure I understand what a mapmaker would do with such information.

Thank You,

There should definitely be a way to iterate through all of a player's towns. Filtering by faction can be done by scripting in other ways.

@XT3RM1N8R

One of the objectives of a scenario is to control at least one castle (a town upgraded to a castle) of each faction.

@Darmani

Currently, it's not possible to determine if it's a town or a castle (a town upgraded to a castle).
