If anyone can advise, please tell me how to play as Fortress. I play with friends in Heroes, and I can win with other factions, but I haven't won a single time with my favorite Fortress. Please advise on tactics, which heroes to use, and which buildings to construct.

In the early stages, when there isn't much of an army, you can hire a Dragon (specializes in Gnolls). He can also be useful towards the end of the game; Gnolls will deal 1000 damage each :):):)
Fortress has the advantage that you can reach level 6 in the first week (Wyverns). With Wyverns, you can clear a very large area around the castle.
Mighty Gorgons drain life if the last unit of the enemy has less than 50% health (I think). There's no point in leveling them up to 1, 2, 3, or 4; it's better to focus on higher levels. 20 Gorgons deal 1-2 damage + deadly gaze, resulting in 2-3 Dragons per attack.
To be continued...
