The unique feature of Necropolis is that their Tier 7 units are traditionally weak. Therefore, Liches (Tier 5) fulfill the role of super-units instead.
Vampires: growth (3-6) x 1000 (cost)
Liches: growth (3-6) x 1500
Reapers: growth (2-4) x 2000
Death Dragons: growth 1 x 3000 (2 under farms)
As we can see, Liches have the highest potential here.
For comparison, regular living dragons: growth 1 x 6000.
The presence of farms alone does not make Death Dragons top-tier, as this is a separate building that requires a separate time investment to construct. Furthermore, farms only increase the weekly growth rate and do not affect the one-time arrival of creatures from building a dwelling and upgrading it. Thus, if you can realistically have 3 regular dragons in your army on the 2nd week (+1 each week), then even with farms, you will only have 4 Death Dragons on the first week.
This practice is not new and is used in rare cases. For example, in Heroes 3, there are Tier 6 Wyverns, which are higher in tier but built earlier than the more powerful Tier 5 Gorgons. More powerful in terms of growth, as it is obvious that 3 Gorgons are stronger than 2 Wyverns. Another example from Heroes 3 is Tier 3 Griffins, which are more powerful and built later than Tier 4 Swordsmen (7 Griffins are stronger than 4 Swordsmen).
