Tactics for Necropolis.

Has anyone tried playing as Straker? Level him up on the first day, and zombies will no longer be a hindrance. If you ban Galthran, Iskra, Vidomina, and Vamp Lords, instead of a slow, cumbersome army of meat, you'll have another decent strike force + single units, if you don't have dragons for that (I think Demiliches look weak as single units).

I've seen cases where Straker was released from prison at level 10 or higher. It wasn't too impressive. With a brilliant selection of heroes in Necropolis, Straker looks mediocre, to be honest. Zombies are objectively a weak unit; of course, I can imagine a situation with many of their ambushes and a brilliantly leveled-up Straker, but that's still more of an exception...
