Normal ones? And say it’s like the old hourglass so you cannot rush to prevent it due to strong border guards?

"Normal ones" could also include an Implosion that kills 300 skellies with each cast, as well as a bunch of shooters that easily mows down at least 150 of them. In two turns you have made the skellies an insignificant threat, unless the opponent uses Animate Dead.
And then, for example, maybe you were playing Inferno and you had Devils and Expert Quicksand, which, in a convenient matchup, can prove hilarious, especially if you use something like Anti-magic on the Devils, the enemy has few flyers as well as few shooters (which should be the case with a Necropolis-only army, at least).
Anyway, what I am saying is that it's hard to actually say much without a stronger reference point than "normal ones".

Being not an expert using quakesand but does the skeletons purposely move in to a quakesand even though it is out of a straight line in their path as they do with moats? But I can counter with teleport especially when basic ones can teleport the skeletons too?

Depends on a lot of factors.

If you have better income than your opponent you could abandon your castles with only a few defenders in them. Fliers or archers ideally, but whatever works. Slowly chip away at him every time he tries to take a castle and then retake it when he's not nearby.

You could buy dozens of heroes with some decent spells and rush them into him and use up his spell power and kill skeletons while you do so. Can even do it with your main if you are careful, and just keep buying them back.

If you have to fight a pitched battle having lots of archers or spells on your side while casting slow, quicksand, forcefield, and other area control spells can keep them busy while you slowly whittle them down. Might need an ammo cart while you're at it.

If you are fighting them while you are in your castle, the old standby of keeping the skeletons in the moat is a good one.

If you don't have a moat or they have ballistics/earthquake and you're on Hota, fighting them on sand (while again you have good spells and archers) gives you some free quicksand.

Like was said vs you making lots of quakes and and forcefield he just counter by one teleport. Also you have money to hire heroes but you have how many faster creatures than 14 of ghost, assuming he does not have artifacts to be higher even? even dragon fly is only 13 and. He almost surely has death ripple

Try my Mystery Tour SoD map.. When blue Tower for Water, green Rampart for Earth, orange Dungeon for Fire, and teal Necropolis for Air.. Ok you can't learn from Air, Earth, Fire, and Water, only one Scholar gives your skill means only one hero.. And you can play against skeletons or your alliance is Necropolis.. If you play in the WoG/ERA, esp. Human AI Mod, AI is stronger with 10 thousands of skeletons.. Ok for rapid players.. If you are slow player, so you haven't a chance.. Quick to kill monsters, etc and then you are winner.. Hmm your Water vs Air in the town, if you want to talk about skeletons.. Remember first Catapult.. Hmm all maps every I teach players, and I play in practical theories..

Not necessarily. But if you can have 1,2k skeletons in week 3, yes.

I would say it is the best even if you can't get that much skeletons in week 3

This should be up. Imagine 1200 skeletons and you get vial of life blood. That is +2400 health points isn’t it? It’s like HP of 8ANcient behemoths? Unless I am missing something?
