How do you get thousands of 7th level troops?

Ok I'm kind of new to Heroes, so this might seem to be a dumb question to you vets out there.

Anyhow, I just got Heroes 3 a few weeks ago and I've been trying to play against the computer on 200% difficulty (I played on 100% at first, but it seemed kind of easy). Now, everytime I seem to get a good game going, the computer comes up with these unreal number of troops, and I cannot figure out how he is doing that.

I mean I tried the free for all map and I thought I was doing pretty good as I had like 50 arch devils and a bunch of other troops. Then all of a sudden tan comes out of nowhere and attacks me with 2 stacks of 1650+ titans!?! Thats 3300+ Titans! Needless to say, I got my butt handed to me.

Then I thought to myself, wait a minute, how could he have that many titans since you can only get like 2 or 3 titans per week and the most titan cities in that map is 2. After two years (I doubt if it was more than 2 years) thats only ~300 titans. Sure, he may have also gotten more from the cloud temple outside the city, but that doesn't explain how he got 3300 titans.

Am I missing something here? Something I'm not doing? Should I also be able to get that many troops in that timeframe?

If you are using ROE, there is a strange bug that hands the computer tones of lvl 7 creatures. I suggest using SoD, or install the latest patches.

Hmm... Once I got 4000 Mighty Gorgons at once with the help of Diplomacy. It's fun when you walk up to a legion of Titans, and they are willing to go with you! I love those moments... So it can be diplomacy, and of course luck.

simply put, the computer cheats. It doesn't actually obtain the titans by any logical way, though it is considered by many to be a bug because it is fixed in higher versions.

guys,
take it slow
computer does not cheat
computer * unfortunatelly* at this game its one of the stupidest of them all
really easy, really bad AI
of course, at my very 1st games I wouldn't been able to kill AI , but now, after all those years playing vs 8 computers on impossible diff is like a kidplay
and it gets me bored to death
the only explanation was  : grail , or diplo
tough it's hard to believe that ai gets diplo.. it could
so to answer you : get diplo , and see what wonders that can work for you

It also could probably be the result of "Time events".
The longer u need to reach your opponent (did you really say 2 years???? that would mean month 24????...lmaoooo) the more often this events happen (getting reward troops, resources..etc...).

The easiest solution would be......play faster, play better, kill him earlier...

2 years? Wow..... You can get a couple of hundreds of Pheonixes in 6 months, and just imagine the huge numbers you get after two years! But that's because Phoenixes (damn, I've forgotten how to spell that!) grow +4 each week...
But if you have, let's say 3 towers (if you're lucky) tha'll make... Hmm... A lot of Titans in 24 months. Imagine you get a week of the titan... 8)

Use the /NWCGRAIL cheat. Put this at the end of your shortcut to HEROES3.EXE. U must be in 16bit color mode to use the cheat. In the game press F4 and u will see a menu where u press cheat option. U know what to do next...

it is a well known bug in 1.0 version of ROE called the "Legion" bug. Get the 1.4 patch and that bug goes away.
