They're weaker in a head-on fight, but if you use them like that, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG. 
I plan to use them to whale on multiple enemy stacks simultaneously, thus maximizing their damage and making them better, while my MGs own his 7s.

Such comparisons don't make much sense.
While u could have 3 behemots/hydras start week 2, rampart will most likely have only 1 green dragon week 2. On the other hand, rampart will have 6 unicorns, while stronghold will have 2 cyclops (if any at all) in week 2.

If your plan involves Mass Haste, you should try to get a decent non Beastmaster as main hero, preferably a Barbarian. Odds are you won't combine log, offense and air on Tazar. You can force air, but that might cost you the other two, which isn't worth it from my theorycrafting point of view.

You are slower than your opponent/s you need good start whit two secondaries. It's a random map, so there are plenty of goodies out there. Faster player is better player, no matter what town you play.
Stronghold is tide whit Fortress, no much differences here, classic duel between two mights Tazar and Crag. If not Ryland or Kyrre you have good changes against Rampart as well. Don't play waiting game, crush the weaker player before the other does it.
At end fight, mass haste is almost a must. Play fast enough and your Dragon Flies should start, take retaliation from lv7s and let your MG's take care rest of the stack. Game is not lost even if opponent has first initiative but it will definitely be harder.

Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

I seem more likely to get Mass Slow with Tazar, but that's fine as well, I'll simply wait for him to Mass Haste and then Mass Slow them in response.
And my plan for Rampart does indeed hinge on rushing, as Rampart said he only goes econ first, and Rampart's already slower than Fortress.

What if rampart is playing mind games with you? And are you sure those are the factions...it keeps changing.

Nope, Rampart wanted to play Tower, but switched back to Rampart after the Stronghold guy threatened to go Conflux.
Factions are essentially set in stone.

When I choosed my favourite faction, I played them all and I have to say I find Fortress the hardest. Still, in this game it comes down to the player, not the faction. Good luck on defeating them and let us know the results.
