Should the starting hero for Necropolis be chosen randomly?

To get Liches, you need a Grand Mage, zombies (which may not be built), and vampires. In total, it takes 2-3 days without Liches, and then you have 3 Liches (and often that's all you get). Valya and Ivor, or Kirr, ramp up the pace from the first turn thanks to archers and elves, which is not possible with Necropolis.
:D Those who constantly play Castle and Rampart know that at the start, Valya often doesn't have built archer towers and/or 2 packs of archers, and with the native hero, there may not be any. Ivor has the same situation (and Kirr even more so); he may only get 3-4 elves and no free units from the native hero.
But with Necropolis and the Bone Collector, even without Goshi, you can get 70-90 bones, which is already a big advantage!
And I don't need to teach you advanced players about the tactics of fighting with a pack of skeletons with their native speed :D

Building witches hurts yourself :smile18:. Again, without building zombies from the start, you lose a day to construction, and as a result, on the second day, you will have few knights and liches.

Vampires without an upgrade :smile18:, as mentioned above.
This made me smile :rolleyes:
If you play Necropolis well, then saying that un-upgraded vampires with a lair are bad is... I won't comment further....
If you start with a specific unit strategy, then you accordingly adjust the early stage of the game to suit them. This is the case with Shakti, Tiras, and other specialists. How Castle upgrades goblins and dogs for offensive power....For Necropolis, it's not critical to build units with a fort, because the lack of 1-2 cavalry and a few other units is more than compensated for by the skeletons you build in weeks 2-3.....

The problem is that many people are used to playing only with skeletons....But try playing this faction using all levels of units

P.S. When making changes to our overly complex online game rules, remember the main principle: Everything brilliant is simple;
There's nothing complicated in our rules, people!!!
All regular players play on autopilot (this applies to the rules).
It's not the Constitution. 9-10 rules are not difficult to memorize once and for all :D
Am I wrong?
And some new blood will only be beneficial.
The question here is about popularizing the game with Necropolis, not about introducing new innovations on our forum.
Your stubbornness is surprising!!!
