Love the guide, Ironhawk! Just one question...

'Next you should research Arrow Fend and find a mage who can cast it in order to protect said Hydras. If you havent found one from a site, research Const 4 and build a booster for one of your air Theurgs. '

If I'm not mistaken, all non-unique Air boosters are either A4, F4W4, or S6. Those are all pretty expensive for arrow fend. So it seems like a pretender, nature summon or indy are your only options. What am I missing? (I love the idea of protecting my hydras' hides from the pesky, pinpricks of piddling archers, but...)

Also, I think natpy and Endo are correct... there are nine forms for the hydra, so the combined HP total should be 88 (40 + (8x6)). This only underscores your original assertation of toughness, though.
