Gameplay tactics on the S map.

I used to play that kind of game... Back when there was no internet, I would entertain myself by setting up a small map without a Dungeon or water, with 200% (sometimes a little less) difficulty, strong monsters, and so on...

Let's just say that playing against the computer this way isn't very interesting (what a horror!), it always loses... :lol:
However, in my opinion, it's useful because it helps develop the habit of doing everything as quickly as possible and with maximum efficiency.

In my opinion, with this setup, the following Castles are the best:
-Dungeon (very strong monsters of levels 1-4), 2 types of archers, and neither has a penalty in melee combat. If you take Shakti, it becomes very brutal. :) I haven't tried the hero-artilleryman option, but in my opinion, with such close proximity to the enemy, troglodytes are still stronger than a ballista.

-Swamp, mainly because of the fast wyverns, which, together with basilisks, quickly decide the outcome... The high speed of the Hydras often gives the right to the first move - very convenient.
I usually take Rosic (mysticism + the "Magic Arrow" spell, 30 damage) - it often helps to destroy enemy archers.
I also tried a hero-healer option (I don't remember the name) - we heal the wyverns, thereby reducing possible losses...
Sometimes I took Brokhild (specializes in basilisks) - his army usually has them initially (a few, but again, if the map is small, this is very beneficial).

-Stronghold, Heroes: Gundula, Krag Hack, or Gurnisson.
The Rocs and Ogres are very helpful - they are among the "healthiest" level 4 monsters. Gundula has "Magic Arrow", so I usually take her. In fact, I don't like the Castle because the first and second levels die in the first melee combat... And although tricks like various lone goblin kamikazes help, if something goes wrong, they still die like flies.

-Castle...
I usually take Adelaide (has "Blessing") or Caitlin (+350 gold per day).
Well, humans are standard... a strong first level, the second, in general, is also not bad if upgraded, and swordsmen are useful. :)
