Heroes 3 AI Battle: Stronghold vs Fortress!
Two AI-controlled rival towns from Heroes of Might & Magic III battle for supremacy, with five varied rounds and a month's worth of unit growth. Stronghold is the most attack-focused town, while Fortress is the town most focused on defence. Crag Hack the Offence specialist hits harder than any hero in the game, but he's up against Tazar the Armorer specialist, the sturdiest opponent possible. Who will come out on top?
Remember this is just for fun - please don't take it too seriously! RNG is still a thing and I'm prioritising entertaining clashes over perfectly even playing fields.

On fairness:
- All level one heroes have had all secondary skills removed.
- Some hero classes naturally start off with spell books, which can obviously be an advantage. There's no perfect way to handle that, especially as removing their ability to cast spells would be an indirect nerf to creatures like arch magi and wraiths.
- For the final round, the heroes are level 20 and have the following secondary skills (all expert level): Wisdom, Fire Magic, Air Magic, Earth Magic, Water Magic, Archery, Offence, Armorer. Their primary skills are distributed organically by the game based on hero class.
- They also have access to the following spells: Air Shield, Animate Dead, Anti-Magic, Armageddon, Berserk, Bless, Blind, Chain Lightning, Clone, Cure, Curse, Death Ripple, Destroy Undead, Disrupting Ray, Haste, Implosion, Lightning Bolt, Meteor Shower, Prayer, Precision, Resurrection, Sacrifice, Shield, Slow, Stone Skin, Teleport. This is intended to minimise their use of 'dud' spells.
- Ultimately, a close contest is more entertaining than a clean sweep and the battles are set up with that in mind.
