How to beat Stronghold ? Please help ...

Just finished game with Odiak on Genesis, here is the replay http://rapidshare.com/files/137563350/imbaOrc.sav.html . I think this replay illustrate for real how imbalanced are orcs ... But maybe someone can tell me how to beat orcs with sylvan ? Without dark magic, he can't be found for sure on all maps, if played with Sylvan. I have with my hero expert light, expert luck, expert attack, expert logistic, expert destruction, cold death to counter super balista ... Odiak have expert shater dark, so 6 level wasted ...  Still not a single chance, i think, here for Sylvan ...

Learn tactics, or chance with windstrider boots also , actually dragons, dancers, sprites, unicorns,  all move first... It was just super luck that the centaurs wasn't blocked i guess  

That battle ... he was lucky with the random atb , that's all.
Also why 400+ centaurs, and you have only 100+ dancers? Heavy losses, no enlightment, no tactics says it all in this game for ossir hehe

Omg
"Centaurs, Centaur Nomads and Centaur Marauders in hero's army gain +1 to
their Attack and Defense for every two levels of the hero, starting on first level.
Moreover they get +1% to their starting initiative for every level of the hero."

Bugged bugged bugged !!!!!

Orcs is not overpowered here it seems, Haggash is overpowered

I have said before and will say it again....  The only way to beat ORCS is with Dark magic.  UBI really dropped the ball with this town..

And for sure Haggash is being added to BAN hero list on Genesis.. But to be honest... I think I might be seriously thinking about just imposing a NO ORC town in my games rule.. just cause it almost NEVER ends in a balanced ending. No matter what map you play.


And I am just stunned... maybe I am a newb still... but one of the 1st things I learned early on is to ALWAYS take ENLIGHTENMENT!!!! So unless you were just extremely unlucky and wasnt offered it... seems you contributed to the loss even more so by not taken enlightenment.

You choose Ossir every time... Ossir is an OFFENSIVE hero... well infact SYLVAN is an offensive town.  Only the Treants are meant for defence and they dont need defense skill to be tuff.

And if your hero is Level 30... that is 30 stat uppers that you sacrifice for a little defense boost?  Thats an Average of + 7 to stat. Just think if you got +7 to your defense.. that already is as good as +30% boost to defense. PLUS you get all the other stat boosts. Seems like a no brainer to me.  

Its like getting to have your cake( defense) and eat it to...( all other stats big too)
