It's very simple! Your Galthan is weak. I defeat him easily...
Dude, you're awesome :D
You probably defeat him when the computer controls him, right? :D

Of course, I'll describe the strategy for a large map, because Galthan isn't such a big threat on a small map...
When playing against Galthan, the "Ballistics" skill is very useful! If you can draw the enemy into a battle within the Castle, whether you're besieging it or defending it, you're already halfway to victory! So, if you're attacking him in the Castle, don't use ballistae to break down the walls! Just place a shield. Position one of your creatures so that none of the "ground" units leave the Castle, and use your ranged and flying units to attack his Liches. Then, deal with the Dragons and Vampires, unless the opponent sends them forward himself. In this way, you can eliminate his army in groups, leaving the Skeletons for last. Without the support of the rest of the army, it's not that difficult to defeat the Skeletons, but at the beginning of the battle, together with the other troops, they can inflict irreparable damage on your army. Of course, you'll take damage from the towers every turn, but that's a small price to pay compared to the impact of the Skeletons' attacks.
If you're defending, destroy the catapult before it breaks through the wall, and then you're good to go! The only ranged unit – the Lich – won't cause too many problems due to the penalty for shooting over the wall. The opponent will be forced to attack, but it won't be too difficult to defeat the undead army again, because the main striking force (Skeletons and Death Knights) will be out of the battle. However, it's very dangerous if the opponent has "Earthquake." In that case, the opponent may break through much earlier than you'd like. But that's why I love Heroes 3 – there's no universal tactic against everything, and there are many tactics and counter-tactics, and tactics against these counter-tactics. It's impossible to take everything the enemy has into account =). This makes the game even more interesting, and that's why it remains a game, not a strict calculation of how to play against what! Good luck! :smile02:
