Fortresses for the purposes of this wiki include all non-town Fortifications in Mount&Blade: With Fire & Sword and may be thought of as a combination of the previous games' castles and towns, adding marketplace and mayor functions to castles but lacking the importance of towns.
The primary difference between Fortresses and towns in With Fire & Sword is still the typical size of the garrison. Towns usually feature about 3 times the garrison size as lesser fortifications. Towns can also receive caravans while fortresses may not.
Notes[]
- Fortresses are still called
castle
in the game files but will be called "fortresses" on this wiki to segregate them from Mount&Blade and Warband. - Some Polish and Swedish fortresses are still called "castle", such as Allenstein Castle.
- Unlike in Mount&Blade and Warband, some fortresses have the suffix "Castle" or "Fortress" despite not sharing a name with a related village.
