1. You can speculate a lot about that. Who's a noob, who's a fool. I wouldn't enter a Fortress with just one hero, and I wouldn't wait to be locked in. I'd go look for it myself. But that's a specific scenario, and you can't argue or claim anything about it; it's just a fantasy about WHO WILL BEAT WHOM.
2. Duels are interesting precisely because you can try to fight with equal armies. Otherwise, you usually look for a weaker opponent, unless you're not very bright.
1. There isn't a Fortress yet. Spending resources to build a Citadel in an enemy's castle won't be feasible. So, you'll occupy a flat area, most likely even without walls. Besides, as Lord Mortulus mentioned, any player buys at least two heroes, and often three. There aren't usually too many paths either. So, you definitely won't go unnoticed. :rolleyes: And, by the way, now that there's a teleport in every city, I don't see this as a problem at all:smile26:
I was actually looking for specific tactics, tricks, and techniques. And instead, they're suggesting dubious suicidal adventures to capture an empty castle belonging to some noob.
2. When talking about duels, where did you find equal chances?)) Equal chances only exist in chess. And looking for a weaker opponent? No, thank you. How will you learn to play on your own, and what's the point of winning against a noob?
