To clarify:
21 MGs have a 35% chance to kill 3 units with their death stare.
30 MGs have a 59% chance to kill 3 units.
101 MGs have a 43% chance to kill 11 units.
110 MGs have a 55% chance to kill 11 units.
The chance that 10*N MGs kill N units decreases as N grows and it approaches 50% as N approaches infinity.
If you know the Death Stare rules and some probability theory, however, you'll know that e.g. two stacks of 30 MGs kill less units (with death stare) than one stack of 60 does on average.
Whether or not 2 x 31 is better e.g. 41 + 21 or 62 is quite complicated though.

So Death Stare probability is capped at around 50%? Good enough for me.

Fortress usually means neverending turns. It isnīt exactly offense-oriented town. Its lack of ranged units and speed as well as its heroesī 0 offense does not help to make the battles quick. It really abnnoys me when I play fortress and it annoys me even more when I get 2-3 actives during my opponentīs turn.

Are you referring to H5 Fortress? Cause it sounds like you're talking about the Initiative Bar. This thread is H3 Fortress. (It's probably hard to tell what we are talking about if you use the recent posts button to link here. Can you rename thread Heroes 3 Fortress? For convenience?)

Thankfully? Swamp dwarves would be bad, but swamp>dwarves. Leave now! This thread is for people who like fortress.

Fortress is awesome.
Wyverns and Dragonflies are perfect at their tier level to take out respective enemy shooters. Especially against castle (Dragonfly > Archers, Wyvern > Zealots). Wyverns can then go on to take out lesser tiers since MGs are fully capable of taking down level 7s, and Hydras can go after just about everything. It's great how they made that possible.
Necro might be the only weakness, but Wyverns still easily take out PowerLiches.

The teleporting would be a lucky thing to get IMO...
If you build out Fortress by focussing on defense, you will lose creatures less quickly than your opponent, making your heroes efficient with creatures. I then just love the numbers of creatures. =D

I Agree i find fortress simply the cest when it comes to unsing it for defence i find that with fortress units the best things to give ur hero is Offence and Armourer (soz about the spelling) and then for the other abilities magic ones for a large amount of damage
Plus armourer and offence bilistas do one heavy whack and are hard to take down

Only problem with Fortress is, you often need other towns to get the spells that really make it shine.

No, you dont  If the game is that long, to reach the point, where the level 5 magics makes difference (cause with spell power 6-8 it doesnt matter), you have other options to get the magics - pandoras, tomes and so on...

Do you really have a favorite town ?
I just play any of them and I never try to chose it ... random is the best. For example I am curios how would it be to raise skeleton warriors with necromancy, as I never did it, and how would demon farming work, as I never tried it.
I have read the forums before, and I still do not understand what is the formula for MGs death stare chances. Every MG has a 10% chance of death stare, but it only happens once for 10 MGs ? What does this mean ? Suppose I have a number x of MG, what chance of death stare do they have and for how much damage ?

Fortress is weak at the start, but slowly gains strength and power after the fifth level creature - Gorgons.

Fortress is the best, especially with the Bron hero (2-5 faster-than-usual basilisks in day one) WOW
