1.06- Are the Night Elves done for?
I've been playing almost all NE for my past 130 or so games, but with 1.06 I'm consitering switching. Our only form of our already weak early game defence is gone, our wonderfull fast expand is gone, and many of our best units, like the dryad, are practically useless. So what are we supposed to do? In general, the ONLY working strategy that I see against any race is mass archers, later backed with dott. Other things work somewhat, but this is the only one that actually looks effective against most enemy builds to me. And actually, I believe that its quite a powerfull combo. But I think if I keep playing NE, Im going to get borred. I liked the option of a fast tech to tri-lore dryads, starting with a few hunts then getting dryads, an assasin build with hunts and dryads, or even getting mass dotts, with maybe some chrimeras here and there. But now, I only have my one strat =/. Do we really have any other options unless our opponent does something very unorthadox? Are the powerfull night elves going to become the least-used race? Please, someone tell me Im wrong and that other major options will open up, I really don't want to see the night elves crash to nothing =/
