How do you even beat this map?
I've been playing Heroes since 2000. I've completed everything possible on impossible difficulty. All the most difficult maps.
But I always abandon this one around the 3rd month because a purple Necromancer with a huge army attacks me.
Of course, you can hide in monasteries, retaking your castles. But he has Flight, Dimension Door, and Town Portal. While you're retaking one, he takes three. He becomes even stronger, and you live a miserable existence in a monastery.

Please, tell me step by step how you beat this map.
Even better, post a Walkthrough as described in the first post of the thread.

I don't believe it's possible to beat this map (specifically version 2.4!!!)
Maybe you're talking about something else?

That means you're not playing well. I organized a tournament on this map. It's ending soon, though... http://www.heroesportal.net/tavern/?id=369491
As soon as the tournament ends, I'll provide a detailed description of the best result and post the saves here. I think you'll be impressed with the results.)))

I guess I'm not very good at this game. Although I managed to complete other maps easily, like "Unleashing Bloodthirsty" and "Vengeance is Mine." "Podarok 2001" is generally a very easy map in terms of gameplay.

I'm eagerly awaiting a detailed walkthrough. It seems I missed something important at the very beginning.

In firstblood 2.4, there are many things that need to be done at the beginning of the map, but even if you just focus on the technical aspects of offline tournaments (you can read more about it here http://www.heroesportal.net/tavern/?id=10588), the purple color won't even be noticeable.
Podarok2001 is easy, but if you make a few adjustments...

I'm planning to create a campaign in September. It will be very challenging... designed for strong offline players. That's where it will be difficult.

Hysteria. Started for the hundred-and-fifty-millionth time. The first couple of packs of Monks joined me just as they should. Quickly captured all the human castles. Built around 50 Archangels and 200 Fanatics. Caught Septienna in a castle, violated her, took all her gear, including the Cloak of the Undead King.
The purple guy shut up for a week. Well, I thought, the game is finally going my way. And then Gunnar shows up at the bottom with a monstrous army. Drove Dessa into a monastery, I thought, fine. I'll deal with it later.
\But a week later, the purple guy came to the top with an army 5 times bigger than mine.

Hysteria. Alt+F4

You are definitely doing something wrong – you are letting the purple faction develop, and you shouldn't.
I remember when I played this map for the first time, I played without scouting to make it more interesting. My computer faction developed so much that the green faction even came to my base) but somehow I managed to defeat everyone).

In Heroes 3, if a map seems impossible to beat, you need to scout it. At least use a cheat.

I will write a walkthrough soon. After reading it, you will definitely be able to beat the map.

Is it even necessary to engage in this battle? When I played through this map, I didn't encounter this problem at all.

Thank you for your answer. This is the famous (?) walkthrough by Lady Sobchak. There are videos for each day, and there's something for newcomers like me to learn. Most of the tasks are within my capabilities, but I got stuck on this one.
So, if you're playing for fun, of course, you can avoid it, but I want to understand how the pros think. Since the walkthrough was successful back in those days, the battle should be reproducible within 25 attempts. That means there must be a strategy.

But if the wisdom of the ages is irrevocably lost, maybe you could share your walkthrough?

Isn't this the famous walkthrough by Lady Sobchak? There's a video for each day.

Where can I find it? If you have any links, please share them, as some things can only be understood when you see how it's done. Recently, a brief description wasn't enough for me in one cool battle, and only after carefully watching the video and making several attempts myself, I finally managed to play that battle correctly.

Who knows what version 2.5 differs from 2.4?

I don't know if it's allowed to post links according to the forum rules, but if you search for "heroes 3 first blood tournament," you'll find the first or second link. There's a video showing movement on the map (it's fantastically cool), but there are no actual battles. You can see how a hero with one angel runs and defeats 28 crossbowmen... There are many complex battles, both against monsters and heroes, but at least you can understand the tactics. I repeat - the battle, according to the tournament rules, is reproducible. Added after 1 minute: Version 2.5 appeared after this playthrough, and as the author writes, "the loopholes were closed."

Damn. There was a TOPIC; you also posted there and definitely saw it.

The video only shows movement around the map (which is fantastically cool), but there are no battles. ... There are many complex battles, both against monsters and heroes.

Well, yes, but without a video of the battles, it's much less valuable.

Well, battles are a different matter; most of them are conducted without losses and with an overwhelming advantage. There are only a few separate, complex key battles on the map. The most difficult battle on this map is the battle with the legion of fish on day 8. But coming up with a walkthrough plan is a serious mental exercise.
