Well, firstly, I think that Necropolis will still win against the Castle, but only under one condition – if they manage to build up their forces...
Necropolis has its own advantages – for example, Death Knights are simply amazing! Liches are also very strong. Dragons deal -1 to the enemy's morale and cause aging, but this effect only lasts once or twice during the game, so it's not that significant.
Vampires cause a lot of trouble, and Higher Vampires are irreplaceable. Furthermore, Necropolis often finds amazing artifacts, including cloaks and armor – a cloak can be assembled from only 3 artifacts! And the Archangel Alliance… I don't even know, maybe 5 artifacts? Besides, they are all rare, while it's very easy to find artifacts for the cloak.
Also, you can often find a powerful artifact for Necropolis, such as the Spirit of Death (which reduces morale for both you and the enemy) + Dragons, and the opponent will be in shock! (I use this tactic in the 5th game, with Banshees + a ring if I find one). The opponent simply skips their turns. And the free skeletons from enemy units (for example, from the reinforcements of other Castles) are a great bonus.
But for Humans, the Castle is expensive – Archangels cost 30 gems + a lot of gold, which is a pain. And they don't heal very well. Only the cavalry deserves respect, but even they have a similar bonus, if I'm not mistaken, as the Death Knights... Of course, Humans have good archers, two types, but there aren't many of them.
Peasants are not that common on the map, so I think that if the Necropolis player isn't too stupid and has good skills, they will defeat the Knight (if he doesn't come in the very beginning).
So, in my opinion, in Might and Magic – the Knight is slightly stronger due to the archers.
But in the other games, Necropolis is stronger (if they don't make mistakes)
