archers and hunts are the best together, since they share the same upgrades. though u should add a couple or the other units in there to support. Dryads to ambolish magic, Claws for tanks, wind for magic support. Chim for siege.. i dont know y everyone does a mass of ONE unit
if the enemy is good enough and scouts u, he would find the counter and u would die.

ok unless you havent noticed hippos riders are the worst units from ne
-they cost twice as much food (archer and hippo)
-they do half as much damage as hippos alone
-if you try to mass them it leaves your hero unprotected

my strat for might elf is to mix it up
you cant just mass 1 unit or you will be owned by any player above lvl 10.
i voted for chymeras though just because i like them the best and use em a lot
u said that it leaves hero unprotected...isnt that a bit hypocritical because u use chims right? hippo riders with unmounted hippos destroy all units cuz if they go air to counteract your riders your unmounted hippos destroy them. about the hero thing, go potm and keeper cuz the potm has shadowmeld so if ur in a battle, turn invisible and let ur riders take them out. keeper is just there for entangle so they dont get close. you also said that they cost more food and money LIE!!!! they cost less and use less food and are available on tier 2. i do agree tho on using hunts with archers early and slowly get them some rides.

In my opinion, really, the NE doesn't have a really crappy unit. Have you seen 3 heroes blown away? Hero-oriented strats' nightmares.

I would defenately have to say that dryads are my primary unit.
My runners up/secondary units are bears/DotT's, and in TFT some dragons too.

Mass moon wells......
That would be good, except for the fact that they cant move, which kinda makes it obsolete.

Hunts are good for early in the game, but should never be considered late game unless for the upgraded bouncing glaive, or for meat shields. They cost way too much, and are highly over-rated.

archers own but only when used to their full potential and thats when combined with hippos then you really own.
Hippos own in every single way.

I always bet on ground units,so ..Huntress.Because my 2nd race are NE i made a game NEvsNE with my undead friend.I made 6-7 ,chimaeras,sevral hunt,bears.He made~30 huntress.He attacked my base and i sent all vs his hunts.He brought only several talons
but while my chims were still alive i attacked all his hunts.I lost.although chims are deadly weapon vs huntress,because of the multiple attack of hunts, i was defeated.

dryads r good especially with their anti magic and also its good to have a few mele units to guard them. Their not that good when massed.
