A program for determining luck/morality in Heroes 3!

The question is about "delays" and morale.
The battle starts, Archangels are present, and their morale triggers. The "take-off" and "landing" points are fixed. Could "delays" be used to prevent the Archangels' morale from triggering?
The landing point was different. The Archangels attacked the same stack each time. I tried placing it in different slots – it didn't help. I only managed to change the outcome by replaying from a previous save.
I know about Hero Excavator, but are there any other programs? By the way, I think Hero Excavator is cheating, and I think it should be banned. Also, which heroes are prohibited from being hired?
The following programs are also used for offline games:
- Skill Tree Checker. Used to check the order in which secondary skills appear. It wasn't needed in this tournament because the necessary skills could be obtained immediately when hiring heroes. And there were no opportunities to upgrade beyond level 5.
- Ballista Killer. Used in long battles for automatic control of troops and ballistas. There weren't any battles longer than 10-15 rounds in this tournament, so the program wasn't needed.

There is a corresponding forum topic about Hero Excavator, where, in my opinion, there are convincing arguments in its defense :).
And there were no restrictions on heroes. Take all those you can find in the tavern. You could view the complete list of allowed heroes in the map editor. There are only no special heroes from campaigns. I wonder, can they be added to the map??? ;)

A few questions for Dirty_Player, as the map author:
1. Can all the monsters in the center of the map, on the path to the main castle (including the troglodytes in the abandoned mine), be defeated with just a griffin + ballista? Almost all of them... except for the giants. Was the trick with the giants intentional? ;)
2. What is the purpose of the Helm of Chaos artifact? Is it a random choice, or was there a hidden meaning?!

2 vbn: Is 200 gems the limit? You could have used Roland's diplomacy... with an advanced skill and a small amount of meat (for example, troglodytes from Brokhild), even storm riders would gladly join. It seems there is no limit to perfection)).

Tell me, how is the turn order of creatures determined in the following cases:
1. After morale triggers, we use "wait."
2. The same speed as the opponent's monster, and they are in the same slots.
