Well basically Fortress df is they got slow powerful creatures wxcluding the dragon flies but most lv 7 creatures will go first.Can be hard to get Air Skills for the Beastmasters so casting mass slow on fortress can hurt them & you can take them out little by little.
Inferno & doungeon can master the fire skill & put a big hurt on fortress with Arme,bezerk etc.
Rush & attack works like a charm but not wise to get close, & since most of the troops are ground troops, you can easily blind them, & shoot them down or Hit & run with like harpies, devils etc, wear thier army down with a hit & return but careful with a counter spell incase you make a mismove.
Basically you got to out smart a fortress player & since thier not that fast, use your speed to your advantage, if you get caught then you were not quick enough

I think Ciele with all magic skills & phenixes can destroy any avarage force. Phoenixes are immune to fire an fastes in the geme (decluding WoG), Ciele must have a lot of spell power, cast slow, berserk (Hydras & Gorgons), and Armageddon.
You can't let fortress be fast, that can be your last mistake. So I would first kill serpent's.

Simple - make sure you've got tons of low-level creatures and use them to take out the mighty moos. Their special ability is only a big whomper against lvl7s.

so maybe sending a "softener army" first is a good idea?

Um... Yeah. Oh, and one more thing - don't cast slow on your first oportunity. Wait for him to use haste.
When slowed creatures get hasted, they end up with a speed like they weren't slowed at all (exact same speed to un-slowed and hasted).
When slowing hasted creatures, they end up with a speed, like they were never hasted, but still slowed.
See?

Certain towns indeed are better on certain kinds of maps, yes. But there is no town that best.

Exactly Woock. There's no strongest army or weakest, it's like a circle. All of them are pretty much equal.

I know Stiven I didnt even know it was in the tavern lol.
Anyways Woock your cool but your a complete noob in this game hehe.
You wait till I haste first to slow is just not right.
For one Fortress is a defensive castle & like i said usually dont get the Air skill so what makes you think haste is always the first option on a battle field 100% of the time.
Also if I did have mass haste you be dead hehe,Water is my best friend, & you better not cluster up or I teleport my hydras right between your troops
You better not scatter either or i may make you nervous teleporting my mighties on your 7th lv creatures which can take a big beating before they are useless to me 7 they did thier jobs.
if you get too close I may think of cloning either my hydras or Mighties depending on my situation & hurt ya 
Na I was just tossing but what you need to learn is if you wait till a slow castle mass haste, you can get hurt & may have to caste a dif spell besides mass slow but depends on what the battle field looks like lol.

When you're playing with Fortress you cast your spell only after your opponent cast his spell except when you have expert haste or you want to teleport your hydras or mitghy gorgons. If he cast slow, blind, curse or weakness then you will cast cure. Even when he cast bersek, if you arrange your units properly(dragon fly far from the wywern and hydra far from the basilik) you can cast cure and everything will be cool(only the dragon fly can't be saved from bersek cause it has the bigest speed in Fortress army).
But what the hell are you talking about?
You fools...Fortress cannot be defeated NEVER NEVER NEVER.

lol ive tossed down a full week 3 fortress army losing barely nothing with rampart.
Was a really funny game too, first i stole fire book just in front of fortress player hero (was an allied game) then i learned fire magic at a hut next to my allies main town.
Seeing berserked mighty Mooo´s attack chaos hydras who retaliates and kill some basilisks too can be such a pretty sight. Especially when mighty moooo power (death stare) kicks in

Well, I played this week a Wog game. The other dude was playing with Castle and when he attacked me it was the week of the Suprem Archangels, he's SAA got +150 health and +25 damage(damn, is the second time when this is happening to me), that means 650 health and 100 damage. But still I kicked his a$s. Well...actually he was a noob, if I were in his place I would crushed myself.
Anyway the reason you could cast bersek on that dude's hydras and gorgons is because he didn't put his basiliks and the gorgons far way from the hydras and probably he casted his spell before you. If he would wait he could cast cure and perhaps only one of his units would be affected by bersek. You didn't play with the right dude, dude. I'm telling you, FORTRESS CANNOT BE DEFEATED.
