A {{Cn|Bounty Hunter}} employed by {{Hn|Kastore|0=}} once he took control of [[Terra Nova]]. According to a local child, Murdoch is "the best marksman in the [[Ravage Roaming]]" and "can hit an enemy’s heart square from a mile away!"

{{user commentary|
The most likely reason Murdoch is banned by default is because he is attack-oriented in contrast to [[Factory]] being considered a balanced faction. Otherwise, his specialty would make the [[Halflings]] and the [[Gunslingers]] overpowered.

Murdoch is a sub-optimal choice for a starting hero for the same reasons [[Orrin]] isn't a preferred choice of a starting hero. Heroes with specialties in level 1 and 2 creatures (such as [[Henrietta]] or [[Sam]]) are preferable due to having a better starting army, facilitating the use of a single powerstack. However, at level 7, with Expert Archery, Murdoch's stack of halflings begins to outperform [[Henrietta|Henrietta's]] starting powerstack.
