Posts from - How to defeat Galtran?

There's no way... because he's the strongest hero in Heroes of Might and Magic III. I've tried many tactics, castles, and development options against him, but all to no avail (in single-player). How do you stop his skeletons and killing machine? Especially since Galtran almost always gets Air and Earth skills. What do you think? And what would you advise?

I would advise you not to get upset and just keep playing =) And remember that you can defeat ANY hero....if you have the skill! ;) And skeletons are easier to defeat with certain factions, and harder with others, but they CAN be defeated! :D :D :D No matter who leads them into battle....

You just take it and win! That's the main problem with the Widowmaker – it's a big one! But powerful magic, like an explosion, solves these issues!

to win, you need to have the right skills, but it's still quite difficult.

Is Vidomina a problem? I don't think there will be more skeletons, but they will clearly be weaker and won't pose much of a danger.... Vidomina is a mage, which means the rest of her army will be much weaker than that of a warrior, like Galtran..
Explosion?? Also doubtful, but yes, it's a possible option, although how much Spell Power do you need to wipe out 3k skeletons by the start of the 4th month?
Ta Kotoraya...

Skeletons are wiped out more easily by certain races and harder by others, but they ARE WIPED OUT!

And which ones exactly find it easier?)) And with which heroes then.

My hands aren't crooked, and I have plenty of experience playing Heroes; instead of writing nonsense, you'd be better off suggesting who to try and which hero to take...

Since I play duels, I've come to the conclusion that I should try a build with diplomacy or a build with Earth Sphere + Explosion + Wild Magic.

Don't get angry; no one is writing nonsense here... everyone is just expressing their opinion... by the way, I think Galtran is a rather slow character...

I don't think it's a good idea to respond to a post on the forum asking for help or advice with such a comment.

Okay, okay... maybe we got a little carried away... but don't overreact... you don't necessarily have to fight fire with fire...

And which ones are easier to play against? And which heroes would you use then?

I usually play as Fortress, and I don't really have any major problems with Necropolis... I think magic plays a big role for me, and it's not too difficult to defeat those skeletons, in my opinion... and archers =) Even if they are fast skeletons, they won't reach you in one turn, right? And when they do reach you, half of them are already gone, shot down along the way, and we take out the other half with nagas, enhanced by the hero's spells and djinns... For me, the situation doesn't seem that difficult...

Dimension Door, get the Medal of Vulnerability and create skeletons!!! Finish off the rest while they're standing there! And if they wake up, hit them with Berserk so they slaughter their own. When only the skeletons are left, blast them with Lightning, and move around the map with your warriors. As a last resort, you could try Chain Lightning+Mirror, but that's wild and macro-risky.
P.S. I remember Alan saying in chat that such a medal is hard to get, but that's not true; it's found often in the Dragon Utopia. Also, I can create skeletons, but I can't cast Berserk.

Best regards Uke-by_petek!!!

You can use a Castle with Loenis (who has Prayer). When you meet him, he will have a large army, and thanks to his ability, his halberdiers will be twice as strong as skeletons in terms of stats. Not to mention the rest of his army. And considering that there will also be a mass blessing in the water, then... well, you're basically doomed. 8)
P.S. I don't remember Uke mentioning a medal, and Utopia isn't found on every map.

There are tons of Utopia maps in random mode, but it's not that easy to find a medal...

Rarely on random maps, almost never. But it's a frequent guest on pre-made HotA maps! And you were talking about the medal in the chat, at 5 a.m. :)

I don't see any particular problem, especially since, as far as I can tell, you're playing as Stronghold. Here's my advice for you:
First of all, skeletons are not the best Tier 1 unit in the game, to put it mildly. Galtran isn't that great of a hero, even though his specialty is skeletons. ;)
Start with the hero Zhbarkas (specialty: Orcs). Let him move at least one unit faster; it will be useful. He also starts with the skills Archery and Offense. It won't be difficult to develop them, and that's how you'll get an army that deals a lot of damage, plus Barbarians always have good Attack. I've always said that quality is better than quantity. You have Tier 2 archers, so use them for their intended purpose. You should also remember to take the following skills: Tactics (essential for Stronghold), Earth and Air Magic (at least Earth Magic), Logistics (always useful, everyone understands that), and Wisdom (a good skill if you get it, which often happens, and from this, you should think about magic skills – try to get Intelligence; if you can't, take Armor).
At the beginning of the battle, if you have Tactics and your enemy doesn't or has a lower level, position your monsters in a way that is advantageous for you, and protect your archers. If the enemy's monsters are all upgraded, then Ghost Dragons will go first (but they don't fly that well). (And you might find a Ring of the Wanderer or a Cloak of Speed on the map; let the birds go first. Also, pay attention to the terrain you're attacking on; it's better to attack on your own territory).
Don't let the birds get ahead; wait, and remember that you have archers.
Shoot the skeletons, then you can sacrifice some Goblins; you should have enough of them. After the enemy's attack, send in the Riders; the skeletons won't be able to handle it, and of course, you have your super weapon, Ancient Behemoths; there won't be anything left of the skeletons (you can cast Bloodlust on the Behemoths or the birds). If the skeletons are still standing, finish them off with the birds. But don't forget about the other monsters; try to think through your moves against the enemy. Look in the spellbook more often, and it's better to approach the battle with +3 Morale and +3 Luck, if possible. Well, the map won't leave you without artifacts; choose the best ones.
I don't know what your battle was like and what problems you had with this hero, and I can't tell you how to behave correctly on the battlefield in your situation (I haven't seen it). In any case, I tried to help you; maybe you'll find something useful for yourself.
Good luck! May you have glorious victories! :)
