That's all clear, but what program should I use to view the "GM" files?

Hmm. Listen, this is a really interesting question. Maybe it's related to the game files themselves? If you put them in the Games folder (which is located in the game's main folder).

It's a pity I didn't make it to the beginning of the show! ;)
doktorpetrov, this map was played by the best players from two websites: this one and HeroesPortal. The Walkthrough, including the most difficult moments and the toughest battles, is described in detail. There are daily saves that the tournament organizers and everyone else carefully studied and found that everything was done fairly. And you can trust the words of DirtyPlayer and Lider1.
A quick Walkthrough of this map became possible thanks to the application of the latest methods of analysis and game techniques developed in recent years. Every newcomer, when they first see how today's pros play, experiences a great shock. :) Then the shock passes, and the realization comes that to improve your skills, you need to "learn, learn, and learn"! ;) Read more discussions on various topics on this forum - and many things will become clearer.

I remember stumbling upon an angry letter on another forum, where the author claimed that the map "Podarok-2001" is impossible to beat, and there was a discussion of various approaches to completing it. Practice shows that (unless the author made some fatal mistake) any map can be beaten! :) Although, unfortunately, this is not within everyone's power. :(

With a program like ProspectorRT and the player's skill, everything falls into place.
I take back my words.

doktorpetrov, are you by any chance related to medstrax?

Actually, Prospektor isn't even necessary; everything can be found in the editor, and anything that's unclear can be checked in the save file. People played and achieved excellent results even before Prospektor, but it's easy to get used to good things.

In general, to complete such a map in such a short time, you need to do a huge amount of work.

Actually, Prospektor isn't even necessary; you can find everything in the editor, and you can clarify anything that's not quite right in the save file. People played and achieved excellent results even before Prospektor, but you do get used to good things quickly.

Who is this?

by the way, how did he defeat Jela with Crag? I've tried several times, but after 4-5 times the resistance triggers on my blindness spell, and I realize that I won't have enough mana.

by the way, the "portal to the city" is available on the map as an event and is given before entering the Dragon Castle.

indeed, just won, took a while of course, even with RL

Well, nothing to be done. The main thing, by the way, is to have the Cloak of the Undead King equipped to get a bonus of 20k skeletons. But the fight with Gelu is the easiest of the key battles on this map.
