Courthouse

The Courthouse is a castle services building in Stronghold 2.
==Description==
The courthouse is the main hub of justice delivery, where locked-up criminals attend their trial and receive their punishment by the judge. To operate, castle guards from nearby guard posts must deliver caught criminals, as well as a suitable means of punishment needs to be present. The courthouse consists of two sections; a dungeon and the courtroom.
Criminals in the dungeon stay there until a trial starts and continue to generate negative popularity. Once the trial commences, the negative effect is removed. A trial can only be started when an appropriate punishment is available.
If a Torturer's Guild is not built, the judge will lead the criminal to the stocks, Humiliation Mask or gibbet should one be free. The remaining punishments (Branding Chair, Flogging Post, Stretching Rack, Torture Wheel, Burning Post, gallows and Executioner's Block can only be operated by torturers from the guild. If a guild is already built, the torturers will handle all the punishments, including the ones the judge would normally do himself.
