  • I LOVE THIS SOUNDTRACK <3333333333333

  • Not my favorite castle, but the music.. Oh gosh, it's amazing! Sort of reminds me of Harry Potter? Great game! :D

  • Fantastic music!!!

  • This music should be in star wars!!!

  • 6 people tried to cut of the hydras head ;)

  • I dont know who composed the music for the game, but he/she should be awarded for this masterpiece.

  • 1:08 best part begins, so epic <3

  • Comment removed

  • this music realy suits a rape/ killing scene...

    one of the best of heroes <3

  • @RexiRebelier What the....

  • Did you guys realise, the Fortress Town is the smallest in all 9 Towns. And I think the Tower Town is the 2nd smallest. And the Necropolis is the biggest town. Oh, I love Heroes 3

  • Comment removed

  • @adminmarkus Fail! Heroes IV has no Fortress town.

  • Worst town\best music

  • not the best town in game

    but the best music :>

  • 0:46 :O

    

  • This game had just SO much style. Music, Graphic Design, Gameplay, everything was just outstanding. I have never seen anything that was able to match up with the atmosphere of this game, just the way the music is made is something i have barely heard in any other game after this. Sure, you have the WoW Soundtrack, Zelda, all those great tracks. But this had something special.. something... truly magical.

  • @jawohlmann Try Baldurs Gate 2..But if you have a job.Don't!

  • @jawohlmann If you're in your early twenties, the reason you think this is because you played this game during your "golden" years so to speak. You'll never experience this again :P

  • I miss them why did they not put them heroes 4 5 and 6 Heroes 4 was bad though

  • @MrVaydinhein heroes 4 is possibly the best one

  • HoMM VI OST has nothing anywhere near close to this track that's as epic and fantasy-like, especially after 0:40

    imo

  • This game rules!!

  • 7 people lost a staring contest against the Mighty Gorgon.

  • Bron character of the year all years

  • Broken and weak in comparison as it might be, Fortress has always been and will be my favorite HOMMIII faction!

  • the best character it tazar

    

  • @totalmadnesman The red flower thingy right next to hydra pond is the grail ;)

  • this soundtrack is so powerfull...

    

  • Where is the grail?

  • haha, i remember back in 1999 when my dad got a computer home, i just couldnt stop thinking about gungans when i heard this soundtrack :)

  • 7 people did not have +15 Wood to build a Wyvern Nest :C

  • Ahhh fortress, you're the only class worse than Inferno. xD

    Although you did at least have a good hero with the armorer specialty, those are the best abilities, even though they're the most broken.

  • @YinsShadow

    Well, you're still screwed when a basilisk stuns your 1st week bemoths ;p

  • 1:07 - the best part!

  • Comment removed

  • Inferno FTW!

  • Best Town ! Why play OP when you can play awesomeness?

  • and im still searching for the name of Infernal song... you know that one when hero step with horse on the black lava ground

  • 6 people do not have an ear for good music and they most certainly have not played HoMM 3.

  • i think everyone can agree that this town has the weakest in everything, creatures, magic and heroes....

  • @AsumDude94 Two-tile moat, a lot of two-tile creatures (could be good or bad depending on how you use them), Gorgons shred 7th tier units, Hydras are often very underestimated, and their most demanding resource is wood. They're not that bad.

    A decent way to play Fortress is to use a lot of buff/debuff/mobility spells on a Might hero. This helps their lack of ranged/flying power, which is pretty much their only weakness. I tend to use Gerwulf since the Ballista is very helpful for this town.

  • @fortyblinks yes, this is a must for this town to be decent, imagine doing this to a much better town like castle or dungeon. foretress is always gonne be the worst town. one thing is that the creatures looks awsome.. :)

  • @fortyblinks I've never had an issue with mighty gorgons, and basic mobility spells for might heroes are the same for all aligments heroes. A few 7th tier units in an attack, isn't bad, but it doesn't compensate for their defensive and sluggish setup. The problem was that all the defense I'd ever need, could be gained from a hero with Armorer specialty. Mephal from Rampart is the most broken combo I've used, nephela of Tower a close second, but armorer from fortress wasn't worth it.

  • @AsumDude94 not at all. Fortress is the cheapest town, so they get the quickest advantage, especially in expert/impossible, and small maps. and as long as you have expert tactics, water magic (teleport) and air magic (haste) (them Hydras!) you're going to find that very very few can actually defeat you in battle. no other town is even half as good at taking down high level monsters as Fortress is. especially Dragon Flies and Mighty Gorgons who are pretty much the best in their respective tiers.

  • I used to play fortress just to listen to this. I'd get my ass handed to me, but it was worth it :)

  • Heroes 6 doesnt even have town screens. Fuck you, heroes 6, ima play this instead. WHOS FUCKING RETARDED IDEA WAS IT TO TAKE AWAY HALF THE FUN OF HEROES GAMES?

  • good units i really didnt like heros tho

  • @cptryano Not even Bron and Tazar ? 

  • greeting from vietnam

  • hoard the gorgons to maximize death stare,get Tazar,get tactics or haste spell and balistics.Besides,fortress heroes get pathfinding very easy,so u won't have any kind of problems with the movement on the map.

  • Fortress....not bad

  • oh god i miss this game...as much it isnt having good graphics for todays modern tehnology it has great songs and brilliant town arts...songs in heroes 5 sucks :(

  • 6 peasents tried to to kill a hydra by bunching up.

    i love this theme!

  • ALL THE MUSIC FROM HOMM3 IS AWESOME I NEVER STOPPED LISTENING TO IT ^_^

  • How did a game this good come from Heroes 2, just think about it. This game is so far advanced from the 2nd installment it's kinda crazy.

  • This town was always the hardest to play as because this town plays on human nature, I always used the serpent fly as a lure unit to get my oponent into all kinds of traps, the problem is that while powerful strategies can be formed with this town, it is always the town whose strategies are the easiest to counter.

  • Gorgons = not the best, but the most useful unit in the game

  • Город нормальный, но юнитам не хватает скорости.

  • gives me the chills every time

  • Anyone who is a heroes 3 fan should try out the fan made "in the wake of gods" patch aka.Wog. Makes the game like 10x better, yes, 1 diamond into 10 daimonds, in one patch.

  • epic music!

  • Aah the fortress! Nothing I loved more than the mighty gorgon and his death stare :D

  • I remember playing a Fortress. i was almost unstoppable. that is, until someone from Conflux came and owned me. ah memories.

  • @Niloc624 Yes I remember playing with Conflux and beating the swamp gas out of someone with Fortress.

    You're welcome for that priceless memory !!

  • 6 goblins can't open the Heroes 3.

  • Archangels or dragons giving you trouble? Massive stacks of mighty gorgons for the win!

  • Comment removed

  • One of the best soundtracks ever made. Fits the fraction perfectly as well!

  • This music is too epic for this faction

  • Gnolls and Lizardmen are awesome.

  • This is the best of all soundtracks in HOMM3.

  • CoD 4 Rotu mod? anyone else? :)

  • @Noobkiller32 yes yes!

  • Fortress is the best faction in Heroes 3. They don't care about all the morality stuff, they just wanna hang out in the jungle and play in the trees but if anyone gets in their way then they are crushed under the feet of an angry hydra!

  • Whoever made all this soundtracks is a genius

  • @Pedala94 Yes Paul Anthony Romero is a genius indeed.

  • @Pedala94 Hans Zimmer made them and yes,he is a genious.

  • @erdey0zoli Baca, King and Romero composed HoMM III music.

  • @Pedala94 Paul Anthony Romero made this music.

  • @Pedala94 Check the video description :)

  • I still remember when I was a kid I made a crude bow and pretended to be a Lizard warrior, fighting off my elvish brother and his necromancer friend. To this day fortress still remains my favourite faction.

  • gey ass music

  • @MrFatdubyman gey ass name xD

  • masterpiece, should be played at Vienna New Year's Concert

  • still feels tingles down my spine when listen this song

  • Mah fav faction from heroes 3 :)

  • 6 people searched for team fortress

  • You guys are all talking about the 5 heads of Hydra's the staring kill form the Gorgon the poison from the wyvern the weakness of the dragon fly and the freeze of the basilik.......... But what about the Lizardman he is the onlyone that can shoot in the Fortress he is also awesome!!!! Accept gnolls they sucks......

  • @SomeGuy3231 The lizardmen are crap, and the gnolls doesnt suck. They are an above aveage tier 1 unit.

  • hOW???How this music have 6 dislikes???

  • Fucking epic music!

  • the mighty gorgon kick ass

  • "Maha, all my beautiful archangels. Mawhaha!!!" - Mighty Gorgon: "Sup?"... D: Noooo!!!!!!

  • just one word: climate

  • Honestly does anybody also agree that Berserker Flies when in the beginning of the game just dominate the game? They have attack/return/no retal and cast berserk.

  • @darkcammander55

    and dispel :) I HATE THEM ! XD

  • 1 gorgon vs 1 Black dragon = GORGON WINS FATALITY

  • HEROES 6

    Y U NO FORTRESS?

  • @Monowobbles IT'S UBISOFT. Y U STILL CARE ABOUT HEROES 5 & 6?

  • @Monowobbles Because Fortress sucks like they were payed for it. Try playing heroes 3 again and you'll realize why they were removed

  • @JushiTheSushi They might not appear to be as strong as the other towns, but it's probably the most original and unique out of all the towns in Homm3.

    I just love the fortress!

  • there is no shipyard!

  • 6 people thought Wyvern's poison is Coke zzzz

  • any idea why the town looks so much better here than in heroes 4??

  • This song fits great for a very powerful faction

  • I want to live in that tree hole!!!!!

  • @exxxxtrakokos You want to live with the dragon flies?

  • @lazarsmiljanic1996 of course

  • @exxxxtrakokos At first i thought you wanted to live with the poisonous wyverns xD

  • composer is the best musician who whenever live :}}

  • I want to get back to this game after a long time is anyone still playing online :D?

  • It's hard to describe the buildup at 0:45. Heard it first time in several years, and it shook me to the bone. This is so epic.

  • Favourite town. I just love the swamp guys so much.

  • best track in heroes 3

  • The Best Music - Fortress, Stronghold

  • my brain burnin after 0:46 :D

  • When i play this tune, its starting to get cloudy and rainy outside 0_o

  • The best music of HOMM 3 (I love it )

  • @DarkSideofRee1 Can I assume you haven't heard of the Stronghold Theme?

  • Sadly, since HoMM 3, this landscape has been converted to student flats and a Tesco Express.

  • The perfect balance among the 8 factions in HOMM3 means each one has their own strength. Fortress is the best in defense: hydra (multiple attacks+ no retaliation), basilisk, and gordon are slow, grail gives 10 defense to guarding heroes. It's why I never start with this town. But once I can take a well-built Fortress from the computer, it will end up wasting a much bigger army without wining the town back (even highest difficulty level).

  • @FriendOfTheStar actually, there is no perfect balance.

    here in hungary, in most competitions necropolis and confulx is banned along with dimension door/town portal and sometimes armageddon[dracageddon tactic]

    fortress is considered as a handicap, as much as i love it[best looking town, awesome creatures, great heroes], the magic guild is limited, at siege, they are the worst and in sod they weren't tuned up enough

    fortress would be my favourite, but it rly needs some hardcore tactics to be good

  • @RNorthex of course, nothing is perfect, just a way of saying. I have to admit that I never play against a human. At the beginning (like 10 yrs ago), I played all factions (no serious tactics, just play, u know) at the normal level. My favorites were Dungeon>Tower>Castle>Inferno. Then things got boring soon. And my habit was to spend 6-7 hours playing XL or L size maps at the impossible level. Almost all the times, I had to choose Castle: you can get tier 7 without spending too much ore and wood

  • @RNorthex So Might is more important than Magic for me because the game doesn't take long enough for high level magic becomes crucial, or even available. I usually just get expert air or/and earth to cast mass haste/ slow/ shield/stone skin... As I say, I rarely start with Necropolis though I know that expert necromancer can make it ridiculously tough to beat. I don't include Conflux in my first comment because I feel it breaks the balance (some says it's too weak, others say too strong).

  • @FriendOfTheStar well the grail building of the conflux is out of control

    mages are better if dimension door/town portal/armageddon etc etc are not banned.

    one of my favoutires is jeddite from dungeon with red dragon as the only non-upgraded creature, with it, expert intelligence and mana vortex, you could basically win any battle without losses[unless inhibition or recanters is in effect] which would make an invincible army

  • @FriendOfTheStar in addition expert frenzy, prayer, implosion, chainlightning and other goodies make mages extremely powerful

    the fact that some good players go with might heroes, is because they don't want to rely on mage guild, or the map is large enough where achivin 10+level is easy, after which they develop magic skills rather than atk/def

    if it's small, ppl always go with mage to be able to collect as many things they can early on by using attack based magic

    my fav is tower and dungeon=o3

  • @RNorthex

    umm, achieving 10 + level is easy on small. magic hero is sweet on big (dimension door, town portal...), but i like might on small maps when game ends in 3 weeks and u can't build magic

  • @FriendOfTheStar No way in hell there are people saying Conflux is to weak.

  • this music is the best of all music's of HOMAM3

  • Youtube to mp3 this shit!!

  • @Darkowth

    Try mp3ify . com

  • MIGHTY FUCKING GORGONS

  • Music reflet this world perfectly.

    0:00 you walking in slowly, you saw mysterious plants, and strange insects (Serpent Fly)

    0:14 A woman whit long hair and flowers all around her head please you to enter

    0:18 you climb the stairs of that Pyrmaid Aztec Style whit her

    0:44 You suddenly stop and decide to look behind you

    0:46 The MIGHT FORTRESS TOWN beatifull as ever. Gnoll, Basilik, Hydras, Gorgon and Wyvern kneeling and acclaiming the king.

  • @vide0gameCaster This is strange,becouse i was imagining the same when listening to this, before i read your comment . lol

  • @vide0gameCaster lol'd at "kneeling and acclaiming the king" XD nice one :P

    it is definetly one of the most powerful songs in history of music, cheers to the composer

  • @blackninja99 If i recall correctly the genius who composed this fantastic song is Paul Anthony Romero. And he's been making music for the Heroes games since the original HOMM.

  • @Animeman73 Thanks!

  • My favourite song in hmm 3, also my favourite town.

  • People who say it's weak - just don't know how to play it. (or they just play on low difficulties) It is on higher difficulties where the game is balanced.

  • 5 people got death-stared by Gorgons.

  • Some of the units are cool; I just wish this castle wasn't so awful.

  • @DokkyDok awful? ok its not the best castle in the game but the lizards, basilisks and the gorgons make a strong force. wyvern is too weak though.

  • @NEC234 Basilisks, Gorgons, and Knolls are the only good units for their respective levels. The heroes are pretty mediocre, and the Fortress, more than just about every other castle, really benefits from magic, which is restricted by its mage guild limit. That said, flies can be a huge advantage in the early game.

  • @DokkyDok that's true, their speed is only bested by lvl7's i think? and when your creatures are faster you hero can walk further, or was that another game?

  • @NEC234 If I recall correctly; your slowest unit determines the hero's speed (along with other factors, of course). So yeah, they make great units for your secondary heroes in the early game. :) I stand by what I said though; this castle is weak overall, but to be fair, it is hard to balance nine unique factions. All things considered, the game designers did quite well.

  • I played EVERY heroes might and magic game and its expansion, my first was 3 and its my top favorite game of all time i spend 150+ on multiplayer with my buddies, 1 and 2 are nice but they didnt age well because of 3, 4 is plain boring to me, i dont like the grapichs, sound or factions, 5 is a mixed bag, i like the fighting more and the factions are ok, but i wish they would stop trying to make it look like lord of the rings.

  • It's Fortress in english version?In polish ver. Fortress is the name for the Tower

  • weak!:)

    

  • 0:40 nostalgia strapped a bomb and throw me from a flaming space shuttle into earth's orbit then i hit the ground exploded sending the earth 45 degree to the left

    havent heard this for probably 6 or 7 fucking years then suddenly clicked on this and it took me so far i dont wanna go back

    so i cried and had screams and spasms of bliss :'D

  • @EdTheDragonSlayer Man I love you for that little speech. You sound like a real human being. Let's remember Heroes 3... together. ;`o

  • I remember I didn't like this faction... but the music at ~0:40 was the reason to play it. :)

  • Fortress were so awful :P

  • @SuckMyCurry But they can be extremely powerful in the long run because of one reason: Their focus on defense. If you manage to get a fortress battlehero to a high lvl, his defense will become so high as to reduce enemy damage by 60%-70%. Me and my bro once played a long game with him as Fortress. The eventual epic battle resulted in him utterly decimating all of my forces except for my Behemoth's, with ignored his defense and killed him :P

  • purely epic soundtracks, wish i could find another game with as awesome music

  • @JAMUSMCGAMUS You could try Halo (especially 1 and 2 which featured the best soundtrack) or World of Warcraft.

  • Gotta love Bron

  • @Emulen10 I'd say one of the best starting heroes in the game. There's nothing like getting 7 basilisks at the beginning =3

  • Gorgons <3

  • Dam this gave a hell of a goosebumps, pure awesomeness.

  • You are my man, Paul Anthony Romero, for the music.

  • 5 people lost a staring contest to a Mighty Gorgon.

  • @Krogoth512 Or more likely : 5 people were fully buffed and faced 5 dragon flies in a battle. They started running after being bitten, but 5 Wyverns caught up to them and poisoned them. After that they couldn't move of fear, because they saw a Mighty Gorgon and then they accidentally looked in the eyes of a Basilisk. Incidentally their statues were around a Chaos Hydra...

  • @Krogoth512

    How about loosing a staring contest to the Basilisk?

  • @danoli9 how about even trying it XD

  • @Krogoth512 They lost, but I won :)

  • @Krogoth512 Or a basilisk? :D

  • When I play this Game i don't play it just I'M IN IT!

    Best Game !!!!

  • Our Hydras are hungry! who help me feed the dislikers to them?
