An example of these requirements is shown below in the civilization table. These requirements are set by the creator of the scenario and subject to discussion. Every civilization has an individual kill requirement to advance in Age. There is a kill counter and usually as soon as any player reaches a 100-threshold, there is a notification for every player. In any CBA, kills are the means to advance in Age. The Castles cannot train any other units which is why at game start, there are only unique units to play with. For most civilizations, it is 80 units, but some have a cap of 60 or 100. For every civilization, there also is a cap at which the Castles stop creating units. The interval of the production depends on the civilization, but the most common rates are 8 or 10 seconds. The spawn changer is a tool to change the default spawn of the automatically spawned units (close, normal, or far).Īs soon as the game starts, each Castle will start to automatically (hence the name Castle Blood Automatic) produce unique units (regular or Elite, depending on the civilization for the Khmer there may be Battle Elephants instead) at no cost. Furthermore, every player has a Blacksmith and University to research important military technologies as well as a spawn changer. Civilizations without Fortified Walls and the Goths start with Stone Walls. The fortress itself consists of Fortified Walls provided the civilization has access to them. The research buildings and the spawn changerĮvery player starts with a small fortress containing usually four towers (the kind of tower varies depending on the version, but they are never Bombard Towers) and a backward Gate as well as four Castles. for the Malay as their unique unit is very weak), but usually they have to be researched and are available for research once the respective Age is reached. Some upgrades of later Ages may already be researched at the game start (e.g. Civilizations with unique units that do not test very well on this battlefield (such as the Malay or the Vikings) start in the Castle Age. The starting Age is the Feudal Age for most civilizations. Every player plays with a random civilization and starts with a huge stockpile of resources (at least 99,999 wood, food, and gold).

There are always eight players playing in two teams.

Once a player loses their last Castle, they are defeated instantly, and all their units are automatically killed and all other remaining buildings are automatically destroyed.

The goal of any CBA is to raze all enemy Castles.
