Heroes Orchestra - Fortress (with Paul Anthony Romero)

[@JoshSZHANG]

Fortress. A weird clan where you're supposed to expand with level 6 units, fight low level creeps with your level 7 unit, and fight other level 7 units with your level 5 unit... Goosebumps.

[@TheAzuremight]

Man those Mighty Gorgons were some of the scariest shit

[@1fold1shepherd66]

Don't forget you that your witches only get a mage guild level 3 for some reason. But man, that double wide moat is a killer against land units, right?

[@mrboogie9220]

Yeah, Vywerns in the first week, and playing Tazar with the insane defence :D

[@skyfreakfussrodah2718]

Paul Anthony Romeros music composed a lot of my childhood, we've played all the games from heroes to might and magic, when we became teenagers we sampled his music to write rap. so many fond memories.

[@HeroesOrchestra]

[@bravarg]

I play this game since about 2001-2002 and the music, is the most inspiring aspect, why I become to love this game. Thank you guys, I feel I'm not alone with this inspiration. Greetings and respect from Ukraine

[@Wow4ik4ik]

grade gnolls at first day, build vyverns at second, and nobody can withstand you, cossak 😎

[@lucasstaniec4414]

childhood memories. I went with my friends to listen to this played by orchestra, we were all in tears! Movies and games nowadays very often underestimate power of music.

[@HeroesOrchestra]

Thank you very much, bro! cheers!

[@Crazy-Drokon]

Awww It's so nice you've used Horn of the Abyss add-on to screen game footage! (1 - creatures have "breath" animation in battle 2 - you can spot new artifacts on map, 3 - new Fortress castle graphics on map) I feel special now because I'm that guy who modeled new fortress for the map :3

[@HeroesOrchestra]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR! if you really do, you're fcking legend man, it will help us grow up

[@mitromney]

By far the most powerful and epic town in the game. Epic music, hydras that are gonna hit 4 units without recoil, gorgon that can one shot azure dragon, wyverns that will poison you for %HP, basylisks that will turn half your army useless and dragonflies that will debuff and curse your archers and always move first unless you have lv7's on you. Best town hands down. I used to wreck all my buddies with this town. The best thing is, most people think this Town is weak, because it has horrible AI. But properly managed by an experienced player, this town is absolutely overpowered and simply unbeatable. And it's not just the units that are broken, heroes as well. Is there a more OP hero for large maps than Tazar with his ridiculous? Or a more OP hero for small maps than Bron? This town is AMAZING.

[@allconsuminghat-]

Mateusz Tur I think they're one of the weaker towns, but definitely my favourite.

[@patorravide]

yes, they are the weakest to second weakest with stronghold.

[@crossmodulation9730]

@@patorravide Lol. In what ways are they weakest? Have you ever played against a skilled Fortress player?

[@patorravide]

@@crossmodulation9730 there's a reason almost nobody picks it in matches. Sure they have their quirks, still too many weak units for their tier, worst shooter in game, weak tier 6 and its tier 7 is super slow

[@crossmodulation9730]

@@patorravide You still haven't answered my question. Have you played against a Fortress player before? Too many weak units, really? Worst shooter in the game? You are funny. The Lizardmen deal more damage than both Marksmen and Magogs. The Magogs become useless when your own units are adjacent to the enemy because of the fireball. And the Marksmen get focused easily and die way faster than Lizardmen. Also, their health, attack, defense AND damage is on par with the Orcs that are a tier 3 creature. The Wyverns can be built on the 2nd and 3rd day of the game in most situations, they are inexpensive and you can amass them easily due to Dragon Fly Hives. They are also stronger and more useful than Manticores and Cyclopses. Most of the time, you won't even need hydras, because you will be able to rush your opponent early. Fortress heroes are also a force to be reckoned with. Tazar with his armor specialty is the most durable hero in the game, level 15+ you won't even scratch him. Bron is the only hero in the game who can start with tier 4 units, with up to 7 Basilisks on the first day. There are plenty of other things that make Fortress a strong town. And, judging by your statements and your simplistic comparisons of units, you have absolutely no online experience.

[@rockinias]

Romero knows to pick the language that is best for the song, and it means so much to me, an Englishman, that he chose my language for the faction of rebellion. We have been the tools for the powerful for too long. Since 1066 foreign powers have forced their royal decrees upon us. In the tradition of Robin Hood, us English Yeoman shall rise. We are the peasant tongue, we share the worker's due. No! We will not kneel! Our corporate overlords will not corral us into hating each other. We will fight together!

[@Stepantc]

@@HeroesOrchestra this improvisation is so cool. The only downside is that percussion is too present on the first part. (Or maybe didnt compressed enough, the transients are presented more than it needs to, in my opinion) Also it lower overall sense of dynamic and that first "drop" loud part of song. And sometimes Paul Romero's piano is slightly unsynced with all other orchestra & choir... This kind of improvisation is cool, but maybe too much syncopation and oo much dynamics in several piano parts... Dunno :) But overall this version gave me goosebumps! The added choir is SO COOL (although its not very "canon" fot this theme). And yes, slight syncopation" and "unsync" is kinda cool, too; it resembles "chaotic" side of Fortress. In summary, really loved this one.
