Tactics for the Stronghold.

I think it's 200% stupid to rush for fast-attacking units. I initially build Orcs (and later upgrade them to elite).

I don't understand this illogical action. To upgrade Orcs, you need to build a forge first. Do Orcs become that much stronger after the upgrade? Maybe they shoot twice like Grand Archers? :D

For heroes, I pick Terek (I used to pick Crag and Dessa) for a more challenging game. Of course, I don't even look at diplomacy.

Why not Zhubarkas then? If you say A, say B, and then there won't be any questions.
