| In {{hota}}, Orcs and Orc Chieftains got a new appearance closer to that of orcs from Heroes II and IV:

| Slow and easy to kill when engaged, they should be upgraded immediately, since 4 speed is too little for the adventure map. They are also the only [[Stronghold]] shooter for a long time, since you will obtain [[Cyclopes]] only later on, usually even after obtaining [[Behemoths]]. However, when having got Cyclopes, focus on them as main shooters, as they are not only stronger but significantly faster than Orcs (especially when upgraded - Cyclops Kings have brilliant speed for a ranged unit), and have an ability to destroy fortifications. When you play with [[Jabarkas]], you may still keep Orcs as your main force though, as they will not only get stronger as the game goes by, but also get a speed bonus which means that Orcs won't slow you down on the map too much. They are also very cheap for a Level 3 unit.

| [[Bless]] and [[Precision]] are great buffs for Orcs, who have big damage range from almost useless to decent. Similarly, when playing against Stronghold, cast [[Curse]] on Orcs if the enemy doesn't have notable amounts of stronger units.
