Perhaps, but wouldn't it also be annoying, at least to the average gamer? Realism doesn't necessarily make games better. It can make them annoying.

However, what if you are running very low on resources, what if those auto-spawned units take them away when you need to devote them to something else or are they really just that little of a cost to create?

Thanks

The units that spawn over time are free other than population, Wargs/marauders and I believe goblins are free and train over time automatically again, for free. You can also choose to turn their spawning off if you wish to save your population for other units.

there is also an other than the maurender
is this one free too?

[Darathor]

I believe he said that marauders are free, and I also believe that they are orc archers.

Goblins come in 2 flavors: Prowlers= bowmen and Raiders= swordsmen. Warg/marauder may be the difference between mounted and unmounted wargs.

[Josh Warner]

Marauders are a ranged archery unit as well as lumber gatherer and hunter (food).

Wargs are a wolf-like creature that serves as a farm animal, a beast of war, and even a mount depending on what it is bred for.

As was said goblins come in two varieties a ranged and melee type.

Wait so how many gatherer units do the orcs have?? I'm so confused.

i find that having no friendly fire when one of your soldiers get hits with 500 arrows extremely stupid, that in my opinion is just cheezy. like if i order my arches to fire into a crowd mixed of my men and enemies, i would expect to take friendly fire, and for the average gamer, thats just common sense really. it doesnt matter what team im on, either way im getting hit with arrows, doesnt matter if hes on my side or not, it still has the same effect. like take the totar war series for instance, they all have freindly fire when you use archers, and ive never heard an average gamer complain about that

pretty sure that theres 2 types of gatherer units
1. prowlers, that gather stuff but can also be used as melee troops
2. raiders, they gather stuff as well, but can be used as ranged/archer troops

[Alex Walz]

No no, the goblins are warriors, not laborers. They can't gather, construct, hunt, mine, etc.

The orc laborers are the Marauder and the Laborer. Check the economies showcase for more information.
