Posts from Your favorite Fortress hero.

It depends on where the archers are positioned, and whether their initiative is 10-11... if they're not on crystals or mercury, everything will be fine)). Otherwise, it all depends on the situation, but I try to recruit Inga as soon as I see her in the tavern.

See, you can’t do without Inga. You still have to hunt her down. So why take unnecessary risks and hire Ibbu or Erling instead? It’s easier with Inga. At the very least, you won’t be left without runes. And I wouldn’t rely on bears or priests; they’re not very clever or strong.

Oh, here we go again:
Erling – at levels 26-28 with stats around 20-25 (for the hero) – priests have more attack power than Erlings, and that’s already significant, plus they have a cross-shaped attack!
Ibba – (if playing against Necropolis, take Bear Lords); otherwise, against those who are vulnerable to roar (our bears), you can also use Northern Riders; if their initiative is good, the bears will go first, and with a quantity of 200-350 at levels 26-28, they can easily rout a legion of armored units and a hundred angels, which is no joke....so, thinking that the strength of the Dwarves lies in dragons and Erlings is a big mistake!

But here’s a twist: I have Erling with the Energy Rune, the Battle Fury Rune, and the Resurrection Rune. So, who comes out on top, Inga or Erling?....especially since I won’t have the Dragon Form Rune and the Etherealness Rune?....

Here, against warrior races, the lack of the rune of invulnerability can be a serious disadvantage. Especially against Orcs.

Playing against Orcs and Humans might have consequences, but still... I might teach Ingu under a mentor, maybe she'll learn the skill of intangibility... maybe not, or I'll teach her in another city. (I usually play on the maps "Listening to the Silence" and "Day of the Colossus")... in most cases, the rune was found.

In my opinion, the most dangerous hero among the dwarves is Ingvar. The other heroes (except Erling) are good for specific tasks that need to be solved during the game.

In late game, I think Inga is the best – lots of runes, lots of possibilities!

The strongest ones in the late game are Inga, Ibba, Erling, and Ingvar (but Ibba and Erling look much better in these cases)...
KillandAction, what exactly didn't you like about Erling if you consider him not so good?
After the top three, I would put Helmar, Ingvar, Karli, and Brand!

My late-game picks: Inga, Erling. They have devastating abilities.

Dwarves are one of my two favorite races. It's just enjoyable to play as them. I prefer the dwarf warrior. My favorite hero is Igvar. For example, it's very difficult to start with Helmar or Inga. And my first experience with dwarves began with them. And I thought that the start for dwarves was very difficult. But when I played as Igvar, I immediately changed my mind. He has a great start – it's very easy. The main thing is to upgrade his shieldbearers as soon as possible. And then the "shield wall" ability will help to clear the mines very easily. Another dwarf with an easy start is Karli. I highly recommend him. He starts with many spear throwers and already has a soldier's luck. I also like these heroes because their specialties are guaranteed, so to speak. But when playing as Igna, you might not even wait for her to learn a good rune even by level 20. It depends very much on chance when you play as her.

well, the energy rune will definitely be useful;)
and if they also give a resurrection rune, that would be even better))

but it all depends on this "if".

Ingvar is awesome.

Inga is undoubtedly a very powerful hero, but as a rule, she cannot learn the “Circle” rune.

Inga, Inga, you can take her as a secondary hero, and the main hero can learn mentorship from her; then he will have runes. I think Ingvar or Erling are the strongest; the first is good for rapid development, and the second is good for maps where there is time for development.
