Regarding dryads, those are quotes from some LA pan discussion. The trick being to combine the spellsongs with bodyguards of manikins(tune of dancing death) or dryad hoplites(tune of fear). Perhaps it could work with Tune of growth and minotaur bodyguards for earlier ages?

A thing I´m using is Black dryad "thugs" with reinvig items/shield and mandragora/manikin bodyguards spamming tunes of growth/fear/dancing death on the front lines. Works great in synergy with the quickened sleep vines (from quick roots). Script something like blessing/quick roots/barkskin/tune of X/tune of X/spells. Also doable with normal dryads w rod of the leper king. The disease isn´t too much of a problem with recup+regen.

Also early game a dryad with a few (like 5) dryad hoplite bodyguards can take most indies if given a hide shield (preferably two) and scripted bless/barkskin/hold/hold/spells or a bit later bless/protection/protection/hold/hold/spells. The dryad will cast mostly tune of fear which makes your awed units near untouchable and eventually routs the enemy. Just watch out for crossbows.
