Necrum designs were made after AO was made, not during production. So it couldn't be possible that Necrum levels were made at the time of AO's production.
Anyway, I do realize that games are made before they are released. But yet, GT Interactive Software could not have been given the results of AO before it was even released. AE must at least had been encouraged to have been made by GT Interactive Software (according this information) after AO was released. So if days before AO was released that conception images were made, it could be very well possible that AE's complete story was already invented.
