We started a long time ago, so it turned into a Chaos replay...
We continued yesterday - I spent a couple of minutes figuring out what was going on. When I placed it, my opponent exclaimed, "Why would I need such a Necropolis?" Basically, my opponent lost in the Necropolis (he said he had an army of 90 units, I suspect the main hero was Haggeish, 90 goblins, and advanced machines). After that, my opponent didn't want to continue. I had Lucy, level 9 (and already with an expert logo), and riders were not far away. So, I think the real challenge would have started in the third week... Well, that's fate.
P.S. I also got my butt kicked in the Necropolis on the portal, but I had liches there, and I was an elf.
