| - A castle is the formation of pieces defensing kings. As Shogi is the game of capturing enemy's king and saving your king from captured, stronger castles are considered as good. Most castles are consist of three generals and builded in opposite side of the rook.

- Castles are fortifications found all over Calradia, and each one is linked to a nearby village. In order to take control of a castle away from an opposing faction, you must besiege it. Note that you must have a negative relation and at least 10 troops before being given the option. Castle garrisons tend to number in the 100-150 region and, as such, are an easier target than towns. By mid-game, a player usually has a party capable of taking a castle unaided.
- However, citizens of the United States and Canada can discount this option altogether (and don't bother with the Disney castles either). Since the founding of both these countries, the rise of firearm warfare, and explosives made traditional defenses like castles obsolete, so they are in short supply, though there are several.
- Castles are obtained in Story Mode by completing story objectives at the end of each chapter. They can also be rewarded randomly from the King in Normal Mode and Battle Royale for killing Big Monsters. They should not be confused for Dokapon Castle, the home of the King and Princess Penny, as it is similar as a Temple. A player may heal their health at any castle for a fee, or for free at any castle that player owns. If they do not own the castle, the fee to heal tends to be substantially more than healing at a city. Castles start producing Local Items immediately.

| - However, citizens of the United States and Canada can discount this option altogether (and don't bother with the Disney castles either). Since the founding of both these countries, the rise of firearm warfare, and explosives made traditional defenses like castles obsolete, so they are in short supply, though there are several. One should also know the fundamental difference between a castle and a palace. A castle is a fortress, with large physical barriers designed to keep out hordes of enemy soldiers; A palace is little more than a fancy home, with large open windows and doors, simple iron bar fences, and open verandas purely for aesthetic purposes. Hiding from a zombie horde inside a palace will get you and yours killed faster than you can say "Let them eat flesh!" In the novel World War Z, there is a great contrast depicted: Windsor Castle became the most successful fortress in England during the zombie war, if not Europe; In stark contrast to this is France's Palace of Versailles, upon the ashes of which the French put their national monument. One should also know the condition of the castle you plan to inhabit, since many have been neglected, damaged, or altered to increase their aesthetic value once the rules of European warfare changed from melee combat to firearms. Also, as with any base, you'll have far more threats than simply the undead to worry about. Food, water, ammo, medicine, morale, illness, and insurrection are all major problems you'll likely have to deal with during the long haul. If you're in a castle above the snow line, than take the opportunity to use the winter months to raid the surrounding countryside for supplies, check your defense from the outside, and even bash the heads of your attackers while they're frozen solid. The castle is a great option for survivors, or those trying to survive, in Europe, especially England and Scotland, and to a larger extent, Wales. Wales is often called "the castle capital of the world". It has 100 castles which still stand. The English Heritage and the Natural Trust both maintain historic buildings such as castles. If you can get to a restored castle, do so but be careful as most castles were destroyed during and after the English civil war, though this only applies to England. It's likely they'll have some food supplies (albeit not enough for a siege ironically) so bring your own. Also bring your own weapons; the weapons the previous defenders used will be located in the museum, often some distance away. Ranged weapons are preferable, although they'll most likely be makeshift although local police do have small stocks of firearms but nowhere near the quantity of a gun store in the USA.

- Castles are fortifications found all over Calradia, and each one is linked to a nearby village. In order to take control of a castle away from an opposing faction, you must besiege it. Note that you must have a negative relation and at least 10 troops before being given the option. When you enter a friendly castle you can enter either the courtyard or the Lord's Hall. In the courtyard, you can speak to the guard of the dungeon to open a dialogue where he might grant you entrance depending on your choices. If you do gain entrance into the dungeon, you can recruit heroes or rescue lords trapped inside. In the Lord's Hall you can talk to any visitors or the lord and lady if they are present at the time. Here, you can gain quests from the lord or lady to gain their favor. In a neutral or enemy castle you can also request an audience with a lord who is currently residing in the castle. Castle garrisons tend to number in the 100-150 region and, as such, are an easier target than towns. By mid-game, a player usually has a party capable of taking a castle unaided. Castles generate the lowest tax income, usually fewer than 1000 denars. Troops garrisoned in a castle are paid half of what they are paid in one's party. Thus, when training an army, one may leave their fully trained troops in a castle while going around picking up new recruits and training them, resulting in faster movement speed and cheaper upkeep.
- Castles are obtained in Story Mode by completing story objectives at the end of each chapter. They can also be rewarded randomly from the King in Normal Mode and Battle Royale for killing Big Monsters. They should not be confused for Dokapon Castle, the home of the King and Princess Penny, as it is similar as a Temple. A player may heal their health at any castle for a fee, or for free at any castle that player owns. If they do not own the castle, the fee to heal tends to be substantially more than healing at a city. The net worth of each castle is equal to twice the value of the most valuable player-owned town on its continent. If the most expensive town's base worth is increased, or another town is increased beyond the most valuable town (either by investing or by the Mitch Digger random event), the worth of the castle on that continent will be increased. Castles start producing Local Items immediately. If the most valuable city on a continent is rendered neutral, either by summoning a Monster or the acts of the Darkling, the castle will revert to being worth twice the value of the highest owned city. If no cities on a continent are owned by a player, a castle will be worth zero gold. When a player lands on their own castle, they have the option of investing any amount of money they choose. Invested money does not increase the value of the Castle, but it increases the Local Item Value of the Gem it produces. Castles do not have levels like towns. The only way to steal a castle is to become a Darkling and use "Castle Panic." Castles have the chance of generating gems of varying types that can be sent to the king, either by visiting the castle or by sending them via a temple.
