Dryads = Imbalanced

They have other minor abilities as well - elven song (only 1 charge, and only useful for elves, and let's face it, if you are using dryads, you're probably using sprites and wood fairies too, and they already have tons of initiative), and some others that i can't remember (i think +1 morale to ents and thorns, which aren't highly useful units, though they have their place and also some ability that makes humanoid males sometimes miss (annoying, but survivable)).

Your amazing lack of knowledge of lullaby, the dryad's most powerful ability, completes discredits any position you have on dryads.

At least know the damn unit if you are going to argue about it.

Stepsongrapes: Lol, did you even read my post? Read point 1 again. If i understand english correctly, i`m pretty sure that i covered lulaby. Let me reiterate my point: since you only get dryads in the last third of the game, by which time most dangerous enemies are undead, mind immune or level 4-5, lulaby isn`t that useful. I do see that i neglected to mention it by name, but i would think that by mentioning all the groups that are unaffected by lulaby, and then mentioning how those units render a dryad`s only truely powerful ability useless.

Sleepy: yet again, you conveniently only focus on one part of my entire post, namely, the beginning, where i just used some stupid introduction to my post. I think it`s hilarious how you read so much in to a comment that took me less than thirty seconds to write, and i thought about for even less time, and ignore all my arguments. I am in no way trying to control what you post. I admit that the whole dryad argument is annoying me, so i wrote my arguments clearly in my last post here. For someone who, in an earlier post (number 34 in this thread) accused and abused Gatts for ignoring parts of your argument, you ignored an awful lot of mine, namely, all of it. Practice what you preach man, or it destroy your credibility.
