 The act of converting a Large Town into a Castle significantly changes the way that the settlement will work, and what you can build there. Once converted to a castle, this settlement can be upgraded to a fortress as soon as you have the money required, rather than relying upon the population to make it grow. It will also be able to recruit cavalry and missile infantry, units that cities do not produce. This comes at a price however, castles are not conducive to open trade, and the settlement will generate less income as a whole. More importantly buildings that can only exist in a city will be destroyed in the conversion process – Check the building browser to see what structures will and won’t survive.
大型城镇转换为城堡将会明显改变城邑运作方式以及可供修建的建筑种类。一旦转换为城堡，无须等候人口增长，只要财力允许即可立即升级为堡垒。同时，可以招募城市中无法训练的骑兵和弓箭部队。转换所需付出的代价集中体现为经济领域，城堡相对来说贸易潜力较弱，无法如城市般商业繁荣。此外，部分唯有城市方可容纳的重要建筑，转换过程中亦会被拆除。
