In the game "Heroes of Might and Magic", when planning an attack on a city, you need to take into account the specifics of the development of its defense. So the capture of a castle with three shooting loopholes can cost the hero's army significant losses. A citadel with one tower is much easier to capture. But the best strategic move would be to attack the fort. This city, poorly prepared for defense, has in reserve, in addition to the garrison, only a moat and walls. Competently overcoming these obstacles, you can conquer the fort city without losses in the hero's army.

Instructions
Step 1
Attack someone else's fort if the power of your army, coupled with the magical power of the hero's spells, allows you to count on conquering a new city. Before the battle, place the hero's troops in positions in such a way that the shooting or conjuring monsters are on the flanks. Place the slowest monsters in the center of the group of troops, opposite the gate of the fort.
Step 2
At the very beginning of the siege of the fort, the ballista attacks the attackers first. If your hero has the Ballistics skill, and he can direct the blow of the ballista, always indicate the target for her - the gate of the fortress. On the first move, postpone the attack with all non-shooting troops and let the garrison armies get closer.
Step 3
Attack the shooting group of the fort garrison with arrows and magicians at a distance. Cast the hero "Blind" spell on shooters or on the strongest army of the defenders. Thus, you immobilize him and make it impossible to attack.
Step 4
After all the troops of the enemy have completed their turn, carry out an attack with your monsters who missed their turn earlier. Hit the nearest approaching groups of garrison troops with them.
Step 5
Approach the troops standing near the defensive moat of the fort with caution. So that your attacking monster does not take a position located on the very ditch. Otherwise, he will receive a blow from the protection of the fort moat.
Step 6
Fly over the walls of the fort with flying monsters and attack the defending garrison in the city. The shooters must stand still and also continue to shoot the enemy. The rest of the armies enter the fort through the gates destroyed by the ballista, avoiding the line of the defensive ditch.
Step 7
If the hero has free magic, cast an acceleration spell on your shooting army. This will allow this group to start the attack before everyone else. If your hero also has enough witchcraft mana, cast this spell on all your troops.
Step 8
Shoot the final defense group of the garrison with mages or riflemen from a distance. Avoid direct melee attacks whenever possible. This can turn into a retaliatory strike of magic with a strong recoil and large losses in your troops.
Step 9
With the fall of the last garrison detachment, the fort will be captured. Moreover, subject to the basic rules of a siege battle, the losses of your armies will be minimal or not at all. Now your main task is to hold the captured fort.
