Citadel of Dusk Infantry

Dryads

Dryads are spiteful creatures with hearts akin to shards of ice. In the soul of a Dryad, there is neither room nor regard for compassion or mercy, merely an uncompromising dedication to Athel Loren that makes even the most heartfelt vows of Elf or Man seem trivial by comparison. To harm the forest is to invoke a deadly and unyielding vengeance that ends only when the transgressor's body has been ruined and broken. Only a fool deliberately offers insult to a Dryad, but alas, these spirit-maids are so utterly different to mortal creatures that offence is often taken whether it was intended or not. Few mortals make such a mistake twice, and then only if the individual in question is either very lucky or very swift.

Attributes

• Causes Fear
  This unit frightens all enemy units, reducing their leadership when nearby. It is also immune to fear. Fear penalties do not stack.
• Vanguard Deployment
  This unit can deploy outside the deployment zone.
• Hide (forest)
  This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
• Woodsman
  This unit can pass through trees.
• Immune to Psychology
  The unit is immune to psychological attacks (fear and terror).

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Forest Spirit
  The spirits of Athel Loren are able to shrug off most mundane attacks, causing magical damage in turn before melting into the forest from whence they came.
• Weak Against Armour
  This unit's attack can hardly punch through armour and is thus wasted on heavily armoured enemies.
• Vanguard Deployment
  This unit can deploy in an expanded deployment area, allowing it to start the battle within striking distance of the enemy - or somewhere unexpected.
• Damage Dealer
  This unit has a strong emphasis on dealing damage. If fighting it, make sure to take it out before it can get into firing or melee range.
