yes, Galtran doesn't inspire superstitious fear in me, especially when considering all the heroes in Heroes 3. The aforementioned Tant seems like a stronger opponent against Necropolis.

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

magic (hypnosis, for example) can be used to lure him away from the gates... but that's not the main point – I was just suggesting one of the possible options.

We place the Berserker, and the skeletons start attacking each other...

If you cast Berserk, the skeletons will attack their own allies...

Unfortunately, you can't cast Berserk on Skeletons (just like Blindness or Hypnotize). All undead creatures are immune to mind-affecting spells...

focus on tactics first! They are slow, so you need to take advantage of that. Don't engage the skeletons directly; let them attack, and you focus on shooting them down and casting spells on them.

And Galtran is really awesome! Read carefully about his specialization - 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 army will be between that of Liches and Black Knights! And there will be almost 3000 of them! 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.

To be honest, I haven't played against skeletons on Heroic Level (HL) even once, but I assume that whoever has more Castles and a more uniform army will win. Regardless of the faction.

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

While the nimble Vidomina, with her swift skeletons, manages to cover half the map, Dess will already have caused so much destruction that the utopias will be empty.

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.

Well, it's a simple calculation - 200 behemoths and 5000 skeletons in one go, by leveling up the hero. And 200 behemoths is actually realistic :)) I've managed it, and please keep in mind, not at the end of the game (luck with Castles). But as for skeletons, only a thousand or two. C'est la vie, although I must admit I played them little. Barbarians are Barbarians precisely so they can develop FASTER than necros. Again, where is the guarantee that in an online random map you won't have a Barbarian neighbor? You wouldn't claim that liches are good in battle against birds and behemoths, would you? Even if there isn't a rusher nearby, do you think everyone will just watch your captures of Dragon Utopia (after your development)? I doubt they'll even stay :) And as for the money to buy out 7 slots for the decisive battle from across the whole map - that can be scraped together ;). But "doubt" is my personal opinion; I'm not forcing others into it. Anyone can win or lose with any faction - that much was already clear to everyone :)
