The Fortress is a Neutral alignment town strongly focused on defense.
Overview
The Fortresses stand at the edge of swamps. Beastmasters and Witches are their inhabitants. The army of Fortress consists of deadly swamp beasts specially trained for battles. Only one Fortress creature has a ranged attack, but the other creatures compensate for this with their unique abilities.
The Fortress is commonly considered a weak town. In fact, its cheap and fast building tree, the fast early scouts, and the very good specialties of its creatures make them a formidable opponent. It is not the town for beginners, however.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths
- High defense (Defense themed town)
- With a two-hex moat and several buildings which increase the stats of the defending hero, a Fortress castle is a real pain to attack.
- The Mighty Gorgon
Weaknesses
- Highest level Mage Guild is 3.
- Creatures are weak (in Shadow of Death some stats for Lizardman/Lizard Warrior and Serpent Fly/Dragon Fly were increased, but overall they are still relatively weak. In wake of gods, this can be fixed by use of some settings making Fortress creatures better)
- With two relatively weak fliers (lvl 3 with 20 hp, lvl 6 with 70 (!) hp) and one very weak shooter, the Fortress has a very hard time invading other towns properly. So Expert Ballistics, Expert Teleport and/or Expert Earthquake are a must.
