Can the Necromancer win just by sitting on Necromancer Island and collecting souls?
The designer said the Necromancer must conquer every turn and called passive play a losing strategy; the win rule is in the Necromancer Island rulebook.

Not in practice. The Necromancer cannot decline, so it must conquer every turn. Ghosts on the Island are off the board and are deployed during conquest, going back to the Island only when no real region is left. The win check counts Ghosts on the Island, but sitting still is a losing plan, since opponents can keep picking off Ghosts.
