Not sure I'd agree... whilst the Plaguelords have reasonable resistances against the Fey, the Ranged>Melee combat system will come in to play and I think eventually the Fey will burn out the Plaguelord's resources as their big units cost a huge amount more (plus the Leprechaun is likely to cause immense problems). It's not going to be so easy to get those slow Hydras all the way up to the fast Fey units. I'd say the best bet for the Plaguelords is probably in their extremely early access to Bone Catapults so they can outrange and AOE the Fey to death.

The strategy info is based on moreso competitive stuff so the Fey hero will usually be something like a Merchant or Sage or whatnot, and the bonuses that sort of stuff gives to the Fey is probably going to end up overwhelming pretty much every race in the entire game if no early rushes against the Fey are successful. That said, it usually depends on hero levels and their class choices. Most of the time competitive play has really low level heroes or no heroes at all (makes sense since the loss of a hero wouldn't mean the end of the game in those circumstances). If it's Plaguelord player vs Fey AI then I think it's probably as you say.

Sorry about the late post, I would've responded sooner but I was away for a while :(.
