- How to defeat Galtran?

Well, it's a simple calculation - 200 behemoths and 5000 skeletons in one go, by leveling up the hero. And 200 behemoths is actually realistic :)) I've managed it, and please keep in mind, not at the end of the game (luck with Castles). But as for skeletons, only a thousand or two. C'est la vie, although I must admit I played them little. Barbarians are Barbarians precisely so they can develop FASTER than necros. Again, where is the guarantee that in an online random map you won't have a Barbarian neighbor? You wouldn't claim that liches are good in battle against birds and behemoths, would you? Even if there isn't a rusher nearby, do you think everyone will just watch your captures of Dragon Utopia (after your development)? I doubt they'll even stay :) And as for the money to buy out 7 slots for the decisive battle from across the whole map - that can be scraped together ;). But "doubt" is my personal opinion; I'm not forcing others into it. Anyone can win or lose with any faction - that much was already clear to everyone :)
