Archers!!! Greatest upgrades in the game and so versatile especially in team games.. they get betetr as you tech more. 24 3/3 archers + long bows + markmanship with a priestess and a dh = pwnage

Archers is great. I always hear people saying... if you go that strat watch me whoop your ass... well no shit every strat can be countered... I think that is the most foolproof, maybe put a couple hunts in there instead of a couple archers to take some hits. They cost 2 food!

Hunts are gay....they might be good early in the game for team rushing, but other than that I think they suck. Archers are better than hunts....but that doesn't say much because archers are stupid tier one units. I know they do semi-good damage, but still, DotT/Chims or such would own them.

Idon'tthink NE has a killer unit if you ask me. While you can amass 2 units for all the rest of the races and win you can't with NE.

Though Archers, yes, are insane. Hunts aren't gay, they're just unarmored but serve well while teching Bears and Dryads.

archers to me are the most used, most respected, easiest to mass, easiest to rush with, hardest to micro, hard to beat, and all around most used unit for Ne.

Heh, first off all, its basis, not bases.
Next, I bet I could still own you even if I was unaware of your mass archers.

BTW, I never said I went hippo riders....

Idon'treally know why you like DotTs so much. As Pan said, they're weaker and used for AA but Archers can hurt Air much harder, plus they don't need spells to deal plenty of damage.

Archers are all-around very sufficient. The second most useful IMO would have to be dryads. Slow, Poison, Decent Damage, and auto dispel? Awesome.

I'd rather go dryads than archers....they do nice damage, and have nice spells/ablities.

Dryads take more tech... and take more food so it's a lot easier to mass archers. And with the upgrades... Dryads average attack = 23... archers = 26. + Archers have better range than dryads with the upgrade. The auto dispel is tempting though.

Largerair such as Chims and FW could prove better to use Dryads though.

And Dryads take less tech. Since they fall under the same tech path as Bears, it makes a tempting combo to go both. Archers, on the other hand don't reach ultimate deadliness until 3/3, Marksmenship and Improved Bows, plus Trueshot.
