How do you counter Hydras?

Rage or paralize spaming + arrows

fog warriors + rain of stones/earthquake.
problem solved.

Otherwise, archers, lots of archers.

Spamming undead + archers works pretty well too.

Just curious, which race can build or summon hydras? I can't remember seeing them in the spell list for any summonings.

EA Sauromatia, MA Pythium and LA Pythium (sacred hydras). There's also a magic site that allows recruiting them

The site only allows recruitment of hydra hatchlings, which are quite useless.

The sacred Hydras of LA Pythium are quite nice. Put a little extra regen on them with your bless (N), maybe W9 too for defense and quickness, and they are awesome.

Also, the afore mentioned tactics still work against them though. Skelly spam will eventually kill them, and a ton of slingers does a nice job on them too.
