Well if you manage to kill all his real units with the exception of the guardpost, you could just take his caslte after loosing the battle with a secondary.

Won't the guardpost troops remaining from the first fight guard the castle on their own?

As far as I know, the defenders from the guard post defend the fortress always, even if there is no hero or not even a single creature inside. Oh, and they always fight with the full stack size, so killing half of the stack with your main hero and attacking the castle with a secondary, the secondary still has to fight the full stack.

Btw, I donīt think that dwarves are too strong: They need a lot of ressources to build the town (especially Thane dwelling) and they are just not good at creeping.
However, once the game has developed that far (month 2+) you really are in trouble...

Dont wory,i think i found a way to win,even if he will have more then 1k,or 2k defenders.I cant tell it cause maybe my friend will watch over this post.Like i said i cant play soon,i will play after 2-3 weeks,and after i will play i will tell to you all the key of victory against the dwarven castles.

damn that was my ideea,and i hope my friend wont look here.Indeed i atacked his castle onece(i told that in my frist post from last night) and i atacked his army(no the sumoned one),after i retread his hero disapeared from the castle,and i think i kiled him,but no,he could rebuy from the tavern.After batle sumoned creature disapear.So that is my plan to kill all his army and retread,with a secondary hero to take his castle.

I'm pretty sure I have attacked fortress without a hero and just took control of the town. How could they appear without a hero's control? Makes no sense.

If there is no hero, then the guard post is useless.

However, even the weakest hero of any faction can call the help of that guard post.

A lv 1 secondary hero can have 2k defender just like a lv 25 main hero. Their number depends on the month, or the week (i'm not sure about this).

Yeah, in late game it is very hard to siege a fortress even though there is only a lv 1 hero.

Just by placing a hero in each town and the dwarves get a considerable garrison

fortress is the best! you are wasting your time fighting the dwarves on their home turf. inferno is a might faction, suited for fighting in the open, while dwarves are versatile enough to do both, though they are better at defending a siege(obviously)

but if you had to do it, pick nymus and try to get as many gating perks as possible

bring a secondary to claim the castle in case the enemy wins with the guard post

do not gate your units inside the castle, the dwarven units will simply team up on them

get death march +4 speed to all your units really helps

see if you can beat haven in a siege first, if you can't beat them, you won't be able beat fortress.

btw watch out for ingvar secondary with mask of equity, things could get real ugly for you!

if u didnt seen the provious posts i will repeat.WE already played,but didnt finished,we saved the game,i dont have time to play,and he is with helmar,and me with alastor.With my dark spell that i have i can kill his real troops and retreat,in this case with a secondary hero i will take his castle and finish the game.Yes he will have a lot of damn defender,but i can make them mine(PM),and with my imps he will have no mana,his hero will be just a simple observator and nothing more,in fact he will be able to kill me one arch devil each round.
