I read the baalz part on the first page... Baalz, Baalz, Baalz... What were you thinking. I couldn't even finish reading your guide. They use hydras and should take heat scales at least a little unless they are absolutely maxing out gold (which, of course, can be quite useful).

Not that I've ever had a problem with hydras passing out, but, on the other hand, I always take the easily justifiable 40 points!

Unless you're 2player vs. Abysia (or similar matchup) I wouldn't take cold. Hydras should come in behind other stuff... the stuff will die, of course, but will keep teh hyrdas alive longer. Just a little Hydra guide... You can even have them retreat then (via commander retreat).

Hydrae are awful. At 250 gold nonsacred, every one is worse than buying another witch king in terms of upkeep, and give you a lot less value for that gold. I would never buy a hydra unless I was planning on getting it killed in a turn or two.

Androphag archers and cavalry are the worthwhile troop choices for building an army.
