Fortress needs micro management..you really need to pay lots of attention to detail..in order not to lose anything..because you can really lose units with fortress if you're not careful..but their defence is real solid..and if u choose armourer..It's..one very good town to use..
Of course armourer takes twice the damage from castle towers..not very good..

how weird: back in old times when i was still playing HOMM3, fortress was universally considered the WEAKEST town of them all. in forums. what has happened? are people playing different maps now, or fortress simply is the town that takes years to learn properly? or is it because if every advantage of other towns is banned (like dimdoor, or necromancy, or diplomacy), fortress is left standing strongly? beats me...

on randoms they have hives..... Tazar is the 2nd best hero for final battles after diplo/logs , They have flies to scout fast, and wyverns can break things fast, i don't know the old days, but yes fortress is a tricky race to play, but it's an average town, Rampart , Castle, Flux and necro are better towns on the today rules....
So it's not an unbetable town at all....now if you talk about necro.....

Those Mighty Gorgons are a real pain in the behind. That Swamp Terrian is really annoying.

There may be no best town but i know 1 thing fotress suck all they are good at doing is defending how do u expect to win if all can do is defend well? Most of the units they have are slow and can be taken down before they do any damage.

While not the best offensively, all you really need are Moos, C. Hydras, and a few stacks of Flies to go around weaknessing their units. Their other units are near worthless, but they have a few really good ones. Not to mention some of the best heroes in the game. They rank just under Conflux, Necro, Rampart, and maybe Dungeon.

Another way to defeat Fprtress is to make sure you keep them slowed down,even with the red orb you can have a good win.
Especially if you got fast troops to H&R in the battlefield so the creatures wont hurt you,would be poaching the hydras for it's tough hide  .

Itīs like all good sports coaches would tell you:
Offense wins games, defense wins championships!

nice to see so much wisdom concentrated in a single thread
however, although it may sound paradox to most of you, fortress should be used offensively rather than defensively (what does 'fortress is good at defending' mean anyways? Just hitting 'D' key during combats?).
Hydras rule on 100% difficulty and even on higher diff they can kick some ass against the map.
Use your mighty moos to grab all these goodies guarded by level 7s.
No town is that effective in taking utopias early.
Hives are a nice additon.
Fortress has its downsides later on, so get the game winning advantage asap!

totally agree with haile & one more thing to say: fortress heroes all rule---even the navigation hero(voy?)---because she's got slow.

Now perhaps you can see the difference when a "real" vet is speaking
BTW haile, congrats to "your" silver medal yesterday in Paris for the second place in 10.000m !

the main difference is that veterans always sound arrogant. But what the heck? we're right 
thx, but no need to congratulate me, I only followed the race from the couch. great sports! still it was a bit sad to see that Haile was overtaken by his "disciple" on the final 200m after doing all the work. Well, I guess you can't stop the young ones. cya in Athens 2004

Yeah, thatīs right, the day, the younger ones will come over the older vets will come nearly in every sports or every online game
But i liked the team-disciplin from the 3 ethiopic (do you spell this like that?) guys against the others from kenia!
When the "burned" them away, they started their single race.

hehe, another difference is that veterans know how to use the quote option properly.
and yes, the race was very impressive. If they didn't start off so "slowly" the first 3 kilometers, it would have been a new world record easily. Unbelievable 3000m Steeplechase race yesterday too. Watch out for the women's 5000m (Saturday, 18.35 CET), I expect a very close race. (Masai, Dibaba, Sun, Ouaziz, Abeylegesse, O'Sullivan, Adere, Szabo, El Kamch all in one race, lool)
kinda on topic:
-another strength of fortress is that they have access to a speed 9 creature from day 1. Allows you to fight more in the beginning and kinda underlines the "get the game winninng advantage asap" statement I mentionned above.
