A rush strategy is unlikely to work.

Even in our game, even with frankly weak spells, I could kill many opponents by week 3 or 4. And raiding the opponent's base is easy. Thanks to the Arcane wave, there's very good damage – it just depends on skill.
But I can't imagine how a Necropolis rush would work. Kaspar is an exception because he's a machine. What can Necromancers do in the early game? Skeletons are weak, wraiths are warriors who rely on luck, zombies are slow, you can't rely on vampires alone, and you can't kill much with magic. Explain.
