Re: Biiiiiig gap between hydras and non-chaff.
Hydras will poison anything near them, so if you don't have a poison immune force, you have to use the hydras by themselves. Hydras regenerate, so you can use them alone vs. independents very easily, especially if you combine them with a priest that can cast fanaticism (so he can stand way back), or that has a poison resistance item. But, the indy hydras are small and weak compared to Sauromatia's, and don't hold up as well.
Hydras are frankly very awkward and difficult to use. I don't really recommend them, most of the time.
