Is it possible to defeat 1000 Archangels with just one Imp?

6 - if it's about tactics, then why not a demon instead of a peasant?

Because a demon, even with all its desire, won't have the opportunity to make the first move, and you'll simply perish.

PS It would be better if someone said whether they have played the map podarok2000 and, if so, how to defeat the Necromancer - is there a QUICK way?

This is one of the most difficult maps I've ever played - I completed it :)
True, it took me almost 20 months to complete it. :(
I dealt with the Necromancer using the "invisibility" spell.
P.S. I played without looking at the editor. It will be much easier if you look at it in the editor ;)
P.S.2 On a similar question, ta katorya told me that, you'll laugh, but they completed this map in 3 months in their internal clan tournament!!!
