Posts from Orc tactics against Dwarves.

In version 3.0, this was definitely not the case. It was the opposite:
fury builds up very quickly, but is lost slowly.
I hope you're not taking the skill from education (fury points are lost and gained faster), as there is a clear bug there.

In summary:
I would take Garuna against the dwarves with the orcs. Since finishing off the remaining dwarven units is necessary anyway, and with this hero, it is even more justified. This, by the way, will eliminate the possibility of using the resurrection spell followed by the resurrection rune.

As quickly as possible, destroy the ammunition cart (this is a small Achilles' heel for the dwarves), focus on the thanes first, use shouts (some of which are better and more effective than many spells), and some smart alecks here claim that orcs don't use magic at all! This is a big misconception.

Don't listen to Terminator about the lack of balance. It is very difficult for the dwarves to start on veteran difficulty; they have big problems with crystals and some problems with mercury, so some types of troops are built later, and some are significantly behind.
For example, it is unlikely that the dwarves will be able to build thanes and dragons in time (alongside your cyclops and wyverns).

The dwarves have a low attack parameter and low damage for their creatures, which means it should be very difficult for them to break through your fury.

And also, I don't know if you and your opponent are equally strong. But even that is not the main thing. You see, even if you are equally strong, if he has played dwarves more often than you have played orcs, his chances of winning increase.
Moreover, a lot depends on which parameters were rolled for each player, or which artifacts they have.
You need to be very aggressive on the map, maximize your skills and parameters...

I've moved all the off-topic messages to the newsletter discussion thread. Here, we're discussing the Stronghold versus the Fortress. I'll start leaving comments soon -__-

It can be very difficult to brazenly increase skills:(it's easier with Orcs because of the 15% chance of loot) but with Gnomes, it's only 2%.
1.
With artifacts (mainly).
2.
Through education (here, Gnomes have an advantage with 8%, while Orcs have 2%).
3.
With Gnomes, learn light and mass spells, and with Orcs, learn battle cries...
For relic artifacts, you can sacrifice something if they are guarded by phoenixes or creatures of level 7, plus Utopia, and all the houses that give artifacts and skills.

On the larger map, against the dwarves, take Arghat... You'll run twice as fast as the dwarf.

if the dwarf doesn't get lucky with the terrain, it will be three times harder, and if the orc gets lucky and the dwarf doesn't, it will be four times harder (just kidding a little)... I'm sure of one thing: it will be difficult for the orc to defeat dragons in the late game, and they will have runes too))).

at the very beginning, you need to use centaurs to eliminate the priests of Arcat and then use cyclops (which attack multiple squares) to rush towards the enemies. If you have the speed aura and all artifacts that increase speed, victory is guaranteed.
