I know who will be in a good mood, but it aint you

Wow - look at that desert orcs - Thikken Dal is taking the lead!

Unit Price Adjustments:
-Forest Orcs excel at hit and run tactics, thus the Marauders can be recruited at 50% less cost, since Goblins thrive in the swamplands, they can be recruited for cheap.[/quote]

shouldnt that be for Flattan rol instead Thikken dal. Since Flatten rol is all sawmp while Thikken dal is all forest .

Either they mixed up with the description and that part should have been about Flattan Rol, or they mixed up with the description and swamp is supposed to be forest. Take your pick.

Think I like the Flattan Rol (spelling?) orcs best. I like this idea of the "mother womb", the birthplace of orcs, fertile and booming with life with orcs there being best connected with earth/nature. It's the orcish Matriarchal Hive so to speak.

Most seem to dismiss them as weak but their unit are cheap and the warg cavalry looks very strong. Not to be underestimated I think.

I do agree that some bonuses/penalties look weird like the swamp thriving goblins mentioned before. Also it looks a little strange that wargs would thrive in swamps rather than forests. I don't see a canine predator doing well in a swamp (normally). Another thing that bothers me a little is that desert orcs get cheaper walls because they lack wood (so they're used to making do with less) while forest orcs also get cheaper walls since they have an abundance of wood. Looks like a contradiction.

Maybe the desert orcs' walls should be weaker since they're made with less wood and are poorer quality.

Of course balance is always a factor.

Well maybe the warges like the swarms for the mussy texture of the ground so they can relax in and theres lots of other animals in swamps. I agree about the Brakkental orcs walls being weaker though.

wow only 30 people out of like over 1000 people choose to be orcs...people should get more involved

[Durken]

It's good to see orks in many different landscapes besides the stereotypic barren wastelands

[deamonkinge]

oh man , looks like playing orcs will be realy hard . oh well , ill probs play as flatten dol dudes becuase they are balanced and have a good warg bonus. i wonder if wargs could beat humna cavalry in a fight?
