I dont know why do you need mass dryads together with the others ,the magics are good but is this the only reason or because their damage is better than archers'?

I don't mass dryads, but they're good in FFA due to the fact most NE players in there mass Chimaera's and Hippogryphs. For one, the Chimaera's can't hit the Dryads, and 2, the Hippogryphs cant attack land =\ Add in some MGS too, and whatever else you'd like.

Well, There's Quite Alot Of Reasons!

OK For those that a troubled with What they should go with for NE. Firstly you get any Hero YOu Like (Pick a Demon Hunter Or a Warden)(Because they are Mellee and kill pretty quick!)

Get Huntreeses!! Then Upgrade the Tree!!
Attack With Huntreeses If Plan Failed then Retrieve and go back!!

Then Get Archers Mixed with Huntreeses! Harrass Again!!
If Failed then get
Dryads! (Always Upgrade there Special Attack's e.g Training Adept etc)
Then UPgrade again and Get Mountain Giant's !
Get Some Archers for quick Training Simulation!
Archers Are Perfect If rush Failed!!
Then Get a Hippogriff and Archer Riding it lol So yEah~!

Huntreeses, Archers, Dryads (Slow Poison, Slows the enemy attack rate) Mountain Giant ( Taunt very usefull because Mountain Giant Take About 12 Second to kill with a Primary Armie!)
By then you;d beable to kill a few of the Enemies stuff already!
Hippogriff with Archer Ridin It IS perfect for Anti-Air!!
If they Massed Wyverns De--TAch The Archers So Hipogrff does more Air Damage!
Plus you got Archers Attack from Under and you also Have Dryad's Slow Poison Attack Rate!!

One more tip! Upgrade every thing for Armor n Attack also special Moves Adept Training etc!!
It;s really usefull in battle!

Er, my Solo strat is harassing with KoTG, Hunts, and Glaive throwers, upgrade tree whenever, get DoTT's for reduced armor, besides, most people cant get any tier2 units that can block that, unless they're smart. ;)

Only reasons to get Dryads are the following: A) You have no idea what you're doing so you just make them, B) You DONT target with them, and let their slow poison hit all the enemy's units. I personally get them for choice B) because it's really useful when your enemy tries to run and half their army is slowed :)

Mass Dryads works wonders in large team games. With an ally, Slow Poison + Faerie Fire = ownage. But in solo, no matter how good they may be against some armor types it can't detract the fact they'll be raped against melee.

I would only get dryads because they are magic immune and really fast. Their attack is meager and they do get raped by melee.

Plus also the fact that if you have a hero running away, and you cant mana burn, entangle, shadow strike, etc it, the slow poison just makes your hero catch up. :p

stupid dotts, i hate them ive just seen tomany games lost becuase some ass thought it would be smart to get dotts as ant-air.

dryads were the shit back in RoC i havent seen them around as often for TFT

anyway when playing NE always ALWAYS get hipp ryders they will be most likely be the deciding factor in a game becuase the only thing that really owns them is anti-air

hmm a possible good combo in the late game would be hipps ryders and master trained dotc.

and yes you should alway start with hunts as your first unit source becuase archers are just to out matched by other races in the early game

in all cases I think that scouting the enemy and building the proper counter is the key to victory

Massing Dryads is a good combo with melee in 2v2/etc. But in 1v1 massing them isnt very wise..Unless they go strictly air. In 1v1 tho Dryads are pretty good with their abolish magic and slow poison. Hunts+Dryads can be pretty decent..

I thought when people say mass dryads they mean actually massing them, as in no other units...

Besides, Dryads are more of a caster rather than a damage unit, think of them like Sorcs with Dispel =)

The fact that you got Riflemen pissed me off, I had to go something to reduce their armor with DoTT's Fareie Fire, then glavie Throwers knocked them around. When you got the casters out, I didn't have time to make AoL because that map "Korea" was hard as hell to expand :(

Dryads are for the slow poison and dispel of Pretty much the heavy hitters as I'd like to call them, Humans and orcs. You wouldnt mass them but MGS added along with them is a pretty good force, if the undead has the good ol' necro + wagon trick, get some fareie dragons, mana drain, and you're set. ;)

The secret is, not to play Korea. Korea just plain sucks.
