My army consist 1 dragon, 2 shadow warriors 2 drakespine archers and 2 dragon guards and pikemens and the chaos army was minatour ,hydra ,bloodthirster, and gors ,While they are charging at me i managed to kill everything except hydra and bloodthirster .

this has to be corrected don't worry, but remember one thing :

- against beasts, eagle claw is your best friend, try it.

Dragons are not weak, bloodthirsters are absurdly strong.

I agree with VladVonCarstein.
Dragons are much too weak, it was very easy for a unit of dark elven's veterans of Entil Arvan to slaughter my dragons unit while taking a 50% casualties themselves... Disapointing. They had 5/5 stat_health points when checking export_descr_unit.
However I'm talking about their performance in last summer's version (think it was 0.6), but I can see their health points are still the same.

I mean... - are the veterans of Entil Arvan supossed to kill dragons in their own?

^ Yes, or dragons et similia would own basically everything.

I'd probably buff them up a bit. My take on this mod is that the hero units and giant creatures do fairly well against massive amounts of enemies. During this setting, tens of thousands of Elves would be pitted against each other at any one time. Later in the war, Morathi herself brought back the Nagarrothi forces from the colonies and those alone numbered up to 500,000.

That said, they should function like chariots. They need to constantly be on the move and if stuck in combat, I could see them dying. Of course, the AI usually won't do that.
