It depends on the map template. On a small map, you can even play against Necropolis, especially if it's a blue one (in terms of color:D). But I don't feel like playing on a balanced or panic map; let's have a random hero for both players.
That's right! On a small map, you can easily play against Necropolis on equal footing; it's best to rush, of course. But on a balanced or panic map, giving Necropolis to a skilled player is like handing them death. Although, on this map template, you can gather one and a half thousand skeletons even starting with another town, remember, Van? :smile16:
I don't think there's a need to nerf Necropolis these days. Instead, let's come up with an idea on how to slightly buff Rampart.
