Hello! I have a problem – I can’t beat the Grand Strategy map against the Undead and Orcs. I’m playing as the Dark Elves, and on Hero difficulty, I keep losing. Help! Can you suggest a tactic?

I think that when playing as the Elves, the main thing is to play without losses, and for this, you need to carefully plan your attacks. Here, it is important to focus on speed and initiative. For example, if Hydras reach the enemy on the first turn, the Lizards that are already behind the enemy lines will bite not one, but several opponents. The same applies to the double attack of Minotaurs. Pin down the enemy and use a wall of fire with an upgraded Pyromancy skill + bite + fury. If you invest in attack and mass acceleration, the initiative of the Furies will be 25+, the unit is fragile, so you need to try to use it as much as possible, and so on. Dark Elves are a delicate matter; I'm experimenting myself. Good luck in battles! :)

I think the only way to win against Necropolis is to rush them. But it's not that easy to do against the Necromancer. And against the Orcs, I think it will be easier.

First of all, even before the final stage, it makes sense to clear neutral creatures without losses: for example, using the Cave Hydra and its ability.
Also, it makes sense to level up a Hero other than the main hero...

Yes, that's exactly what I meant – no losses at all. Hydras are really useful here, and so are the Hunters; if you have a specialist in them, they look good in combination with magic. You definitely need to level up the Trickster; weakening the enemy hero before the battle is essential. As for the undead, it's difficult but possible; you need to focus on initiative and skillfully combine units with combat magic, although unfortunately, it's not always clear how to do this in every situation.

Necromancers don't always have it easy. Sometimes there are problems with creatures and artifacts, and so on. Play for a longer time.
P.S. In general, Necropolis usually has problems with Chaos factions in most games.

The problem is that they arrive on the second week with Death Knights and a lot of skeletons and zombies, and my most powerful units are Hydras, and I only have three of them. I'm playing as the hero Vaishon, level 8.

In the second week, the level can be even higher if you try, and a large number of skeletons and zombies can be effectively neutralized, for example, with a strengthened Ring of Cold or a Fireball.

The problem isn't with the skeletons, but with the Death Knights; they're cutting down all my warriors!
And I don't have any decent spells yet.

Death messengers don't fly, so you can build a castle, settle in it, and hope for towers and magic to help.
In general, GSC maps can be very "unbalanced".

You forgot about the hero! He went through the entire map, and his level is several times higher than mine! Because of this, he destroys my entire army with his spells. I've tried playing a hundred times, but I can't win.

Instead of Vaishan, take Kifru; for your situation, I think it's the best choice. Leadership, powerful minotaurs, and most importantly, the Ice Golem (preferably an enhanced one, as it's quick to build).

Complete collapse at the end of the 4th week. P.S. It was easier with Vaishon, somehow without luck it didn't work out.

I managed to win; the Necromancers arrived quickly, but I was able to defeat them. I hired heroes every week, then transferred the main troops to Vaishanu. After the battle, I had 10 Assassins left, and after that, it was just a matter of technique! Thanks to everyone for the advice.
