Stories from veterans (let the forum recognize its heroes).Auto-translated
Once, I played a hotseat game with a friend. It was hilarious. I was playing as Dungeon, and he was right above me, but we didn't realize it at first. So, he spent three weeks building up his army to break through the defenses guarding the underground teleport. And he succeeded. When he came down (with almost no army left, but with experience and artifacts), I was within his movement range. I had Shackles. The rest is history, but the look on his face was priceless :D
Haha, I'm playing with a friend on Hotseat (Heroes of Might and Magic), and he played it recently... It's the final battle... I have a lot of units, about 15 angels. He has... 500 Berserkers and 450 Centaurs, and a level 10 hero :D:D:D

I had something like this happen in Heroes 3: my hero is in a town, and suddenly, when I click to end my turn, my hero leaves the town and starts attacking enemies (and he does all of this without my input). The flag above him is still mine. And when I saw that a duplicate remained in the town, one stayed in the town to gather an army, while the other fought the enemies.
Also, there was a battle where, without my input, an illusion of Serpentmen was created.
УШЁЛ НАВСЕГДА ОТ ВАС КРИТИНОВ....ГЕРОИ ГОВНО ВЛАСТЕЛИН КОЛЕЦ ФОРЕВА
In HoMM 3, there was a case where a hero (not from the Conflux) attacked my Castle and I was in it too—it was a long game, basically two invincible armies (doesn't matter which ones—I don't remember). Anyway, he had 0 Ice Elementals in one slot—funny thing is they move, shoot, and deal damage (small amount, I don't remember if it was 1 or 0) also funny, just like mines but in a moat)) damage every turn there is also a tactic where if you have restoration, you blind the last unit in the enemy army and then go ahead—restore (for as much mana as lasts) another trick—the Clone spell is great; you take Archangels, make a clone of them, and voila: full-fledged Archangels with the ability to restore (even if the original Archangel they were cloned from had already restored) I won't even start on Berserk—excellent spell there was also a glitch in 3.5—you know, there are "living" scrolls (for those who don't know). There was a Prayer scroll and the funny thing is that instead of casting it on me, it cast it on the opponent))
In Heroes 3, I was playing as Necropolis with Sandro. I carelessly wandered too far from the city (about 10 turns). There was no teleportation spell to return to the city. During the journey, I lost half of my army.
I had left:
~ 1200 skeletons
~ 500 zombies
~ no ghosts
~ 120 vampires
~ 80 liches
~ 40 Death Knights
~ 25 Ghost Dragons
Sandro was an excellent mage. He had recently conquered a dungeon and doubled his mana points. All his stats were above 25.
And then, Barbarians attacked me. With an army twice the size of mine, and led by a formidable hero. At first, I was mowing them down with Berserkers, using Death Knights to kill their monsters, and Liches to shoot down Orcs (I really needed archers in that battle). Their Cyclops and Goblins fell after the Vampires and Chain Lightning attacks. Then I had to resurrect the Death Knights. All my level 1-3 units were killed. Theirs too. A little later, the Death Knights were completely defeated. In my army, I had left:
~80 vampires
~20 liches
They had about 15 monsters (or other behemoths) and about 40 Thunderbirds.
When I had only a handful of vampires left, I started summoning Air Elementals (about 90 of them). My warriors were already gone, only elementals remained. When their remaining forces were defeated, it was a draw!!! I didn't think to resurrect even one skeleton!
The battle lasted about half an hour, and the difficulty level was maximum.
There was a case with a hero who had no army! The battle was won due to elemental skills, but the main troops died! Then the elementals disappeared, and the hero was running around alone, like in Heroes of Might and Magic IV!
I had a funny experience: with 15 Fury units, I took down 267 Horned Overseers!:D (And all of this was done with Empowered Lightning, using a hero of level 30):D
In the third one: I attacked a group of Gogs with a serious army. Just for interest, I cast Mine Field about 20 times; as a result, the battlefield was almost completely filled with mines. As soon as the Gogs ran out of ammo, I enjoyed the spectacle =)
In WoG there is a function where additional monsters of various levels are added to neutrals depending on the day of the week. The funny thing was that, for example, in the 10th month of the game, say, about 500 Black Dragons join 14 Gremlins =)
I really liked Varg-Nar's story because I sometimes won like that myself.
/offtop/ By the way, I incredibly love fighting with tiny armies, and my favorite campaign in WoG is "A-d-v-e-n-t-u-r-e-s"; there on the first map—you probably know—the hero walks with one Knight, and a maximum of 3 people (halberdiers) join him in the middle of the game, and otherwise occasionally one unit at a time during the process. A very interesting thing!
