It seems no one wants to share their screenshots of conquering the Angel's Hideout without showing any casualties among their troops.
Here are my screenshots of conquering the Hideout with the following army: 2 Champions, 24 Marksmen, 19 Pikemen, and 2 Swordsmen.
I lost 17 Pikemen and 1 Swordsman in the Angel's Hideout.

If anyone is interested, here are my screenshots of capturing a strategic location.

For some reason, no one wants to post their screenshots of capturing the Angel Fortress without losing any of their troops.
That used to be the case... However, this strategy is not very effective in online games, as the angels in 60% of cases attack the knights in the second round.

It has long been known that in SoD (3.2) during a battle, the amount of mana of your opponent is not visible. But why not simply edit the corresponding file and place it in the data folder, just like with the animation accelerator?
Here is this file:
genrltxt.zip
***
Since questions have arisen, I will explain.
This is the real SoD file, extracted from the archive using ResEdit (downloaded from HW), where only the words "spell points" have been replaced with the shorter word "mana," which saves one line, as a result of which the amount of mana fits on the screen.
That's all there is to it.
PS. Apparently, the person who came up with the animation accelerator was using Platinum Edition; otherwise, we would have seen our opponent's mana in SoD long ago!

I apologize for initially uploading a "non-working" file. The problem isn't the file itself, but its name – it must be in uppercase letters. I have replaced the archive. [09/13/09]

That's how it was... Although, this scheme is not very suitable for online play, as angels in 60% of cases attacked the knights in the second round.
You might be right, but in my case, they always:
In the first round - attacked 1 Spearman in the middle;
In the second - attacked the main stack of 16 Spearmen;
In the third - 1 Spearman;
In the fourth - the Knight (leaving him with 13 Hit Points);
And then an interesting moment follows.
To prevent the Angel from attacking the Knight, I moved the Spearman to the side. The Angel "followed" and didn't attack the Knight, but attacked the Swordsman.
That's all.

That's it.
Well, that's how it is. And I also wanted to preserve my Swordsmen.

Interesting. I thought my strategy of taking the high ground was the only possible one. :)
The difference from the strategy suggested by Tyazhyoly Sluchay is that in the first round, you need to eliminate one Pikemen in retaliation against the angels and then attack them with cavalry. At the same time, one angel must be sent to heaven (also with a probability of about 50%, otherwise one cavalry unit will be lost).
In the second turn, 2 angels attack the cavalry, dealing exactly 2 x 50 = 100 damage. But since the cavalry's defense is 1 higher than the angel's attack, the angel deals 97 damage. The cavalry retaliates, archers shoot, and the rest defend. One angel remains, sometimes a second with 3 HP.
In the third turn, the angels finish off the Pikemen or kill the air units (however many are left after the demons), and we finish off the angels.

Well, that's the way it is. And I also wanted to save my swords.
I agree, that was the intention, but with the army I had, the Angels, with your arrangement, simply refused to attack the 16 Pikemen and instead killed the unprotected Champion.
So, depending on the number of troops, a specific tactic is determined in the "Angels" scenario with the arrangement. And it's impossible to guess in advance until you test how the Angels will behave.
In the future, I will try to post short tasks from online games myself, with a prize pool, for those who excel in solving them, and I ask Heroes players to also post tasks.

Then I tried to repeat this battle – it turned out to be very difficult. Give it a try ;)
21 Knights, 5 Dryads, 15 Grendels, 10 Pikemen :)
If the mines hadn't been destroyed, there would have been about 30 Knights... With expert shooting, you can avoid losing Knights altogether.

fought right away, and the following remained:
21 knights, 5 wood, 15 grandos, 10 coppers :)

In general, the battle is on the edge... I repeated it 3 times – 2 times resulted in the same losses; in one, only the grand units and 10 knights remained. I think it would be more logical to take a defensive position around area 117, with reinforcements of young units and a well-developed ranged attack, so as not to risk the party unnecessarily.

Actually, the battle was quite close. I repeated it three times – two times resulted in similar losses, with only the major heroes and 10 knights surviving. I think it would be more logical to take a defensive position around 117, with a group of unicorns and a well-developed ranged attack, to avoid unnecessary risks.
Всем удачи ! И Морали !
