Default Dark Citadel better than other citadels

Is it just me, or is the Dark Citadel way better than the other two Citadels? The Mountain Citadel is inferior or equal in every aspect, and the regular Citadel, while better at Administration, costs far more and has much less supply and defense... Even in Conceptual Balance Mod 4.0 this seems to be the case...

If I recall correctly, they have different impacts when the keep is stormed - differences in how many land-bound critters can get through the gate at once, how many critters can apporach the gate, how many towers are shooting free arrows at the incoming soldiers, et cetera.

Yeah, the Mountain Citadel has a better layout. But both of them are only useful in rare circumstances.

Unfortunantly, castles, etc. can't be modded

Yes, I would have loved to fix castles, but it is sadly not possible.

The other Citadels are pretty much crap, never seen one in MP except from an occasional newbie.
OTOH the Dark Citadel and Castle are playable, and they are undead Ermor only choice btw

The Dark Citadel is worthless when being stormed, as you have no archers at all. The mountain citadel is to expensive but you opponent will think twice before storming it unless he has serious firepower to hurt the defenders or the defenders are few in numbers.

The Ermor Citadel are better then the Dark Citadel.

Hmm, I've confused Dark Citadels and Ermorian ones indeed ..
Anyway, I don't care much about castle archery, it's mostly irrelevant except in early game.
