Posts from Your favorite Fortress hero.

I also leaned towards the light faction, but the large amount of magic power was a bit concerning.

As for Ingvar as a lieutenant, I can already see you sharing your thoughts, and it's very interesting.
Thank you in advance.

Sorry, I can't share it yet, as my rivals are browsing these pages. The tactic is completely new to me and very unique; I'll just say that Ingvar appears in a completely different light.

:smile14: Ingvar is awesome. With him, the warriors are just tanks:smile14:

Lately, I've been considering Dwarves as a powerful faction in the world of Heroes of Might and Magic. I can't decide between two heroes, Inga or Ingvar. Inga has an advantage at higher levels due to her higher total stats from education, but that's also a disadvantage compared to Ingvar, as she won't have one of the important skills (defense, attack, luck, light, leadership). I'd like to ask for advice: who is better, and which skill can be sacrificed with the least negative impact if I choose Inga?

Boost your luck with artifacts or visit idols and fountains. )))\nHere, the difficulty level also plays an important role, as the dwarf has some initial difficulties...\nIngvar has an easier start, but Ing has runes. However, I think Ibba will be just as good as a fast starter with her upgraded bears in the first week; with their help, you can kill almost all archers if you're lucky with runes, but if not, you'll have to struggle a bit...\nBy the way, on maps with a mentor, you don't have to worry about stats.

because at the beginning, the Dwarf has some trouble... I myself play on Veteran level))))

I completely disagree with the statement that the Dwarf has problems at the start. I myself played on Veteran level, and building up the Dwarf castle is a piece of cake. By the way, I can confidently say that Dwarves build up their castles faster than any other faction (you can check this yourself). As for the main hero, of course, we choose Inga, and if there is a mentor on the map, you can also choose Ingvar.

A Mage can easily defeat a Dwarf at the start without even trying hard. The Elf also will cause him a lot of trouble. The Necropolis will start overwhelming him with numbers as early as week 2.

The Dwarf has a difficult start, and this is perhaps the only factor that prevents Dwarves from being considered overpowered.

I think here they are not talking about gnomes being easily overwhelmed by other factions at the start, but rather about the difficulties in building up their infrastructure and dealing with neutral creatures. The fact that gnomes are easily defeated at the start is already well known.

Lordset – you can play as Ibbu or Erling as the main hero; they are very good leaders... the problem is that Inga will get the energy rune earlier than anyone else, which is very good... I already understand that it's easier to play as Inga, so I'm practicing with Ibbu and Erling; after all, they won't always have the runes you need, and the enhanced bears and priests are very useful in the final stages...
I hope you don't think that Ibbu and Erling are inferior to Inga?

I hope you don't think that Ibba and Erling are inferior to Inga))?

Without Inga, you still can't win in the late game. How many runes will you gather with just one castle? Please, take at least Ibba or Erling, but you must have Inga as a secondary hero. However, I don't know much about the Dwarves; I mainly play against them, and I generally find them annoying as a race. So, I'm mostly interested in their builds, but at least when we played with Mishgan, he never managed to win the late game without Inga.

Inga, as a secondary hero, always... because if there isn't an energy rune at the start, it means that recruiting archers will become more difficult => which means that some resources won't be available, and usually these are resources for building towns and dragons)) and so on... and even if there isn't a resurrection rune and a rune of battle fury, that's not a big problem yet... but an energy rune is definitely needed.

and even if there aren't runes of resurrection and runes of battle rage, that's not a big deal... but the rune of energy is definitely needed.

That's not a big deal at all. In the final stages, these runes have a decisive impact on the dwarf army. Without these runes, they won't be able to cope with the Necromancers. So, I would advise you, Ereb, not to take any risks and take Inga. Of course, you can also try to create an Armageddon, but how will it compare to the Mages and Warlocks? The rune of energy is also very important. Without it, it's not only difficult to defeat neutral creatures, but you can also get stuck in the final stages. So, take Inga and don't worry.:smile54: That's why I consider her a cheat hero.

If there’s no resurrection rune, then leveling up defense won’t be effective through BDP…
And regarding Armageddon, don’t forget about the Jarls and Priests; their fire sign combined with Armageddon looks really cool! (But I won’t play Chaos against Necropolis).
And saying that the rune of battle rage is only for Dwarves… that’s a bit silly…
I’ve already played a lot with Dwarves, and even though I haven’t won against good players, I’ve learned a lot through Skype… so don’t think of me as a noob, okay?…
I got that from your post: :smile35: :smile35: :smile35: I don’t stress when I play Dwarves…

I don't think you're a noob; it's just that playing as Fortress is actually easy, and you don't need to be very skilled to win with them. Yes, Fortress has many good runes besides Battle Fury and Resurrection, but without them, the chances of winning decrease significantly.

It's easy to get Ing when there's a 100% chance of getting an energy rune. But if you're not playing as Ing, it becomes a bit more challenging – but the core idea remains the same: somehow acquire an energy rune. As for the others, it depends on luck.

But what if there isn't an energy rune? What will you do?
