The Elder Scrolls: Castlesfeatures a vibrant world filled with colorful characters called “subjects.” These individuals, who can be nobles or peasants, inhabit your castle and serve as your primary workforce. While you’re able to’t choose how they look—since their appearances are determined randomly, even when born in your castle—you can customize certain aspects of their appearance by spending some of your resources.
AlthoughThe Elder Scrolls: CastlesandFallout Shelterare both management-oriented mobile gamesby Bethesda, character customization inCastlesis significantly less detailed than inShelter. InFallout Shelter, you can change a Dweller’s hairstyle, hair color, and even facial features, while inCastles, you can only provide a new outfit for your characters.
How to Customize Characters in The Elder Scrolls: Castles
InThe Elder Scrolls: Castles, if you want to change a subject’s appearance,you should equip them with a new outfit. Outfits are the sole means of customizing your characters' appearances. Each outfit is a complete set that can include facial features, such as beards, and accessories like hats.
Not alloutfits inCastlesserve purely cosmetic purposes. Most outfits come with unique ability enhancements that impact the wearer’s performance. For instance, a Brown Robe provides a +50% armor boost from shields and +32 Magicka.
You will need a Sewing Table to make new outfits for your people.
A more effective approach to utilizing outfits is to match them with the wearer’s job instead of focusing solely on cosmetics. For example, equipping your kitchen workers with a Chef’s Uniform can enhance their performance, allowing them to cook more food at a faster rate.
If you’re seeking purely cosmetic outfits, consider the Noble’s Clothes or the Elder’s Robe. Notably, the Elder’s Robe even adds a beard to your character, regardless of whether they are male or female.
Chef’s Outfit
Kitchen
Ideally,you should assign each worker a uniform that aligns with their job. For example, equip a Kitchen worker with a Chef’s Uniform, a Furnace operator with a Metalworker’s Guard, and an Oil Press technician with a Lamplighter’s Coat, and so on.
The title of each outfit indicates the specialty it is designed for. However, you may tap on the outfit’s card in the inventory, which can be accessed from the castle management button in the bottom-right corner, to see the specific role it is suited for.
If there are no job titles listed on the outfit’s card, the item is purely cosmetic and has no effects. It’s best to use these outfits on characters you don’t intend to utilize as part of your workforce, such as your heir and first-degree family members.
If you have multiple versions of the same outfit, you can merge them into a higher-level outfit in the inventory. Note that upgrading outfits requires Gold.
How to Rename Subjects
Another customization option for subjects is renaming.You can change a character’s title by tapping on them and selecting the quill pen icon. Titles can be up to 26 characters long and may include special characters and symbols.
Utilize the rename system to organize your subjects effectively. As with anycity management game,Castlescan become overwhelming when you have hundreds of subjects running around. Create labels based on their rarities or traits, helping you identify which workers or warriors to keep or let go.
