Fantasy Friday XVI - Orc Melee Units

[Alex Walz]

FANTASY FRIDAY XVI
The Orc Infantry

According to legend, an orc is created every time lighting strikes the ground. Through times of storm and through times of peace, your homeland will see a continuous supply of these new orcs, which can be trained in the art of melee warfare in your military buildings (seen in the third screenshot below). Copious in number, the orc infantry are known throughout the land for their brute strength and fearless demeanor. Although their weapons and armor may be lacking in comparison to the more technically-advanced men and elves, they bring a number of ominous abilities to the battlefield that can changed the tides of war when used in the hands of a keen micro-strategizer. Not including the orc villager/melee unit, the Labourer, or the cultivated goblin and ogre beasts, the orc infantry consist of three units: the Berserker, the Impaler, and the Slayer.
