Hydra and Cahmpion
Hya!
I allways wondered, Is there any reason why one should choose Hydra or Champion other than style or not-mainstream-behaviour?
I like them both and would like to use them efficiently - but, well, the comparision to angels and Bdrags seems just so unfair...
Whutcha think?

The problem with champions is the easy access to quicksand &/or water eles 
Slow/fatigue/teleport can also be nasty.
And think about what you're losing, angels & resurrect, faster adv. map movement..

if there is no resources or path i would take champs i think because you must get stables
that right there make up for movement from angels
champs first strike and charge is great but must protect them well only 150 hp
cheap as hell tho
hydras can be made anytime now with mod really because blacks take forever

I would take Hydras in Equi anytime. Maybe against order even - what is the particular problem with that? A well timed Hypnotize? Teleport away?
Hydras look better than BD's and much easier/faster to build.
As for Champions, the problem is getting all those resources. Dunno, but for me it has always seemed easier to build Angels.
Champions are highly deadly (they do an insane damage if well used, can win fights alone) and are at least helpful in map clearing, but Angels seem to do that better (resurrection is huge).
I think I would choose them under certain consequences - anytime.
As for slow, and quicksand, those spells can be countered, of course timing is important, speed close to hero helps here.
What's so very wrong about Quicksand cast against your Champions? There seems to be something that one of us do not know.

Quicksand is a great spell against the AI and often useful against human opponents, especially if they do not know how to counter it. It's one of the game-breaking spells (makes you able to kill any land-based army with shooters/poison).
