Default Re: Hydra Tamer

Hydra tamers are perilously close to useless.

They are useful for the retreating hydra trick: set the hydras near the front with guard commander order, and the commander at the back. They then retreat, leaving a poison cloud behind them. Enemy units move through the posion cloud to try to engage the hydras, and start dying as they chase the hydras to the back of the map. Try that without a poison-resistant commander, you'll have cause for embarrassment.


Could give them a summon hatchling ability. You'd have to increase their cost a lot, as that's a HUGE advantage.
