I was pretty impressed, I played around with them and a group of 4 hydras didn't run into an idie province they couldn't take without a loss (I'm sure there are some, I didn't play around that long) and I didn't do any buffing at all. Granted that's not the cheapest expansion force but they certainly have their uses and they're practically resource free. That fear plus 9 initial attacks plus area poison damage seems to be pretty effective at routing units and the multiple forms give them enough survivability to last a couple rounds. When I tried just 2 they died pretty quick, but 4 were able to spread the damage enough and hit hard enough round one that everybody ran away (the fear aura stacks to).
