Posts from Tactics for the Swamp (Fortress).

Tell me about the advantages of this faction.

The cheapest units in the game. HOWEVER, they are also the weakest.

The only downside is that basilisks and 2 units can fly across the entire map.

TWO hydras... Inkv, this is the second time you've mentioned growth rates including external structures... remember that in Heroes 3, only Phoenixes have abnormal growth rates; all others have a growth rate of 2...
As for Wizards, I'm not so sure they're the weakest... I think the opposite is true; almost half of their units are among the strongest, and even more so when combined with the hero... )) I can't even name a single unit that doesn't fit well with the race's style.

P.S. Of course, Fortress is simply my favorite race, and that greatly influences my answers.

P.P.S. We played a 2v2 game with some friends on an impossible difficulty, my friend and I both played Fortress

"Rebellion" is just like the болотников faction – and that's fine, they were tearing others apart. :)

Okay...
Regarding the units:
Gnolls - they're decent, but with increased speed and the Dragon upgrade, they become a formidable force:)
Lizards - their archers are useless; they can be placed at the end of the queue.
Dragonflies - a preemptive nuclear strike:) They'll devour everyone, weaken them, and even cast a dispel spell just in case. A great unit.
Basilisks - advantages: a quite strong unit with a chance to stun the enemy, making them very valuable on the battlefield. Too bad they're slow.
Gorgons - death to all living things:) I just don't quite understand how to calculate the chance of a Gorgon's deadly gaze, but otherwise, it's a superb unit. Armored beast:)
Wyverns - they can be built in the first week, which means you can grab a lot of mines and artifacts early in the game. In battle, they poison the enemy (-10% of maximum hit points, with a minimum of 50%), which is definitely a plus.
Hydras - slow, but with a lot of hit points and an attack with multiple heads. A wonder unit:)

In my opinion, the Swamp is a very strong Castle. You just need to know how to play it correctly, and then you can crush anyone, even at 300% difficulty:)

P.S. Inquisitor
Have you tried playing with other factions at 200% difficulty? Or only with the Swamp?;)

The chance of a deadly strike for Gorgons is 10%. For every 10 Gorgons, they kill one creature (for example, 30 Gorgons will kill three creatures). If the number of Gorgons in the stack is not a multiple of 10, then for each creature, an additional 10% is added, which means they will kill one creature (it's easier to illustrate with an example... 34 Gorgons kill three creatures with a strike and, after the strike, have a 40% chance to kill not three, but four creatures).

TWO Hydras... Inkv, this is the second time you're calculating the growth rate including external structures... remember that in Heroes 3, only Phoenixes have an abnormal growth rate; all others have a growth rate of 2...

:eek: :eek: :eek: NO EXTERNAL STRUCTURES. Random map :confused:

Then it's either the Grail or something I don't know... but in The Shadow of Death, all 7 units are gathered once a week with 2 castles, and Phoenixes are 2 and 4.

I have a Platinum. I would have noticed if I had a Grail or a building that provides an additional creature of level 7.

P.S. The opponent had Necropolis dragons +2. So, that's how it happened.

That’s very strange. It might be a bug, but honestly, I doubt it. And what about the Legion Head artifact? Is it missing?

Damn, what a headache? Never mind, I'll check it out later this evening.

By the way, this artifact increases the creature growth rate in the town!

my opinion: the Swamp can only put up a decent fight against other races in the late stages of the game.

The Fortress, like the Stronghold, focuses on units rather than magic, so there is no chain where you must first build level 2 monsters, then 3, 4, and so on.
1 at the very beginning their development is much faster than others - in the 1st week you build a wyvern nest and a castle, and already you have an excellent opportunity to explore the map, or gather wyverns for the final battle, thereby gaining a huge advantage over the opponent.
2 the swamp's specialization is defense; playing as an armorer, for example Tazar, as you develop you will suffer fewer and fewer losses.
but there are also downsides
1 on random maps, playing as the swamp, you are positioned in the swamp, which limits your movement and for a week or two you'll have to move very slowly
2 there is no decent shooter.

I haven't played Fortress very much. But I'm well-acquainted with their logistics! Another plus.
