Beat Dunkler Horizont on 200%, without breaking a sweat! Apparently, there is still a serious imbalance somewhere in the map's logic. I started with Orrin, rightly assuming that shooters would be the main damage stacks. On week 2, I took the second castle; on week 3, I got angels. On week 4, after buying everything I could afford, I went for the Barbarians. The main Barbarian hero had buggered off somewhere, so I captured both Barbarian towns with no trouble at all. After that, I basically did nothing for about a month, saving money to buy troops. By this time, a Necromancer showed up, captured the Rampart slightly above our starting towns, and dug in there for a long time. There was no further movement from the Necromancers at all (they never read the green tent)! In the end, after a couple of months, having amassed an army, I took out that Necro and then systematically cleared the entire map, practically without resistance. It even got boring. Moreover, the Necromancer towns had a huge number of unrecruited troops, which came in very handy later (5k vampires tearing through a legion of Azure Dragons with ease). Such passivity from the Necromancers is hard to explain.

Yes, Gelu came in very handy
P.S. I didn't come across any Necros in the tavern, so it seems that player with the Cloak of the Undead King was cheating))
Could you describe the walkthrough process in a bit more detail, with screenshots or saves?
It seems to me that such Necromancer behavior is very strange, because at various intervals I get Necromancers coming from one-way portals in different places and they start taking absolutely everything, rather than holing up in neutral towns.
Regarding the green tent - to visit it, the Necro needs to reach level 30 or so and specifically go there, which of course takes a very long time.
If you open the map in the editor, you can see that Necromancer heroes are not banned from hiring, so they can appear with a small probability (or they are pulled out through the hero mill, which is almost a cheat, of course). The other question is how he assembled the Cloak of the Undead King there, although Necro works well even without the Cloak...
