Necropolis or Castle (Which one is stronger?)

Kien, I didn't write my post to you; the post was addressed to MESTb.

Hmm, both castles are very good and roughly equal in strength.
On one hand, hordes of skeletons; on the other hand, a bias towards Black Dragons and water magic (and consequently, Prayer, Clone, and a clone of Archangels is a mega thing). On one hand, vicious vampires; on the other hand, powerful shooters — Fanatics + Archers, and so on.
All else being equal, victory will probably go to the luckier player.

Of course, Necropolis has such a mega thing as the Cloak of the Undead King, and if they assemble it shortly after the game starts, it will be unrealistically hard to beat them. But as easy as it may be to assemble, it doesn't happen often, and usually it's closer to the end of the game when it's no longer decisive.

P.S. By the way, Necropolis has another nasty ability that drives me crazy :-)), those pests can't be blinded :-(. That's also a point in their favor, but again, not a decisive one.
