I like archers, but I think dryads end up being a better buy. You are going to have huntresses, since they are really the only mid-price-range melee for NE, the question is what to put with them. If a melee hero gets to your archers, they get ripped to shreds. Dryads are tough.

One thing to remember in these discussions is also that gameplay is more important than the precise mixture of units. A good player can win with crappy set of dudes, while an average player can lose with a superior army.

PS I think abominations make good targets for Entangling roots. They just sit there and die!

Vs UD I think that Dryads really rock....

-They do extra damage to aboms
-They slow
-Can't be possessed
-Gets the same upgrade as archers//huntresses so u can upgrade early and get a bonus to ure archers
-get bonus from PotM
-Minus: can't be healed by your units :(

The extra damage to Aboms is correct. Still, it doesn't really affect them that much. It's the next point that really is correct.

Possession... well, Possession was made for the Bears anyway. :D

No, they don't. Hunts/Archers follow the of the Moon upgrades. Dryads follow the of the Wild upgrades.

Yeah, they do, but few NE units don't. :D

In any case, they don't. Dryads may do well against Ghouls and Aboms, but they fail miserably to Crack Ghouls. Crack Ghouls with level 2 Unholy Aura hit the speed cap, and are still fast even when hit by Slow Poison. In addition, the damage they deal to Dryads is very high, and Ghouls can eliminate Dryads one by one very rapidly.

This might be incorrect in light of the new 1.06 patch. Supposedly, Dryads are supposed to be much more powerful against melee now. However, there's a new UD counter for them now: FIENDS! :D

...No, I'm serious. Stop laughing!

You just made me cry *sob*

Still, seeing Fiends make an impact is relieving. With quite a bit of damage, too bad they were overshadowed.

SharpSho0ter., not a bad srategy, but its not totally unbeatable like Shizo said. Personally, I would take out the chims and add something like 5 dragons, because there good caster defense, and + they have great spells/immunities. Other than that, a pretty good srategy, similar to mine, although, I would reccomend a DH instead of a PotM.
