It's great!!! -))
When using this tactic, the Tower is probably the best choice. Position the Golems so that the enemy cannot exit through the gates; this will create a solid defense. Their health and armor allow them to do this effectively... Moreover, Golems have magic resistance and do not restore health to vampires.
And strong archers can quickly eliminate the liches...
If any creature (even a single peasant) stands in front of the gates, they will not open. Even if the creature is killed, its corpse will prevent them from opening...
And Galtran is indeed strong; you are wrong to underestimate him. Everyone knows that skeletons are the strength of necromancers
If you cast Berserk, the skeletons will attack their own allies...
And Galtran is really awesome!
Read his specialization carefully – the attack and defense of skeletons increase with each level of the hero. In other words, by level 20, the attack and defense of skeletons in Galtran's hands will be between Liches and Black Knights! And there will be almost 3000 of these guys!
What tactics are needed here! They will shamble over and chop everyone to pieces!
In reality, Galtran is not as awesome as he seems at first glance.
Although the specialization says that defense and attack increase by 1 each level, this is not the case.
The defense of skeletons increases by 1, 5, 9, 12, 17, 21... (approximately every 4 levels)
The attack of skeletons increases by 1, 6, 11, 16, 21... (every 5 levels)
For example, at level 15 (34204 experience), skeletons receive a defense bonus of +3, attack +4
At level 20 (82025 experience), defense +4, attack +5
It's not that much.
P.S. At level 37 (1775477 experience), defense +8, attack +10. But it is unlikely that anyone will reach such a level:)

I myself played Galtran for a long time, back when there were many fans of Vidomina and Isra, but they're gone now.
Well, I like Vidomina.
Maybe try playing as Conflux? You can't drain their blood, there are a lot of fairies, more ranged units than just one Lich. And Phoenixes too.

There's no way... because he's the strongest hero in Heroes 3. I've tried many tactics, castles, and development options against him, all without success (in single-player). How do you stop his skeletons and killing machine? Especially since Galtran almost always gets Air and Earth. What do you think? And what would you advise?
What can I advise? Without Vidomina or Izry, you'll never be able to cope with a skilled player playing Galtran, especially on XL, no matter what they tell you here.
The point is... these two heroes buff him, so you should potentially have more skeletons than your opponent.
Honestly, I haven't played against skeletons on XL maps, but I assume that whoever has more castles and they are more uniform will win. Regardless of the race.
From personal experience, I can say that the probability of winning against a serious opponent playing Undead on XL maps is approximately 20% out of 100 possible outcomes.
And these 20% fall on the early stage of the game (Necropolis is a neighbor, develops faster, gathers forces, and attacks). Otherwise, it's impossible... the longer the Necropolis is on the map, the less chance there is of defeating it.
And the number of identical castles won't have a significant impact when playing against Necropolis... the Necromancer, throughout the game, practically doesn't lose anything, but only accumulates and accumulates skeletons, which cannot be said about the other castles; there, you always have to lose something, even if it's a small part... and you won't be able to build a really strong army, even with three identical castles, to match 4-5 thousand of those Galtran skeletons :) ... besides, you first need to FIND, CAPTURE identical castles, and if they are neutral, then DEVELOP them... all this usually takes a lot of time, effort, and nerves :) by the time you get all this, Vidomina will already have at least 5 thousand skeletons, about 5 utopias will have passed, and there will be a fully formed hero with portal and teleportation magic... he will simply crush all the cities like a tank... and you will have to give them up :) ....
THAT'S the reality

Орден Феникса – харизматический :) лидер
While the nimble Vidomina circles half the map with her fast skeletons, Dessa will already cause so much trouble that the utopias will be empty.
BUT HOW???? Will she really have the strength to conquer at least 3 utopias in the first 2 months... she will inevitably lose some strength, and at the same time, she can't just leave her own castle empty.... :) No, this isn't the case.
