They are recruited from the [[Stronghold creature dwellings|Orc Tower]]. ''"Armed with throwing axes, orcs and orc chieftains have an effective ranged attack. At close range, their low speed and defensive values, and the ranged attacker [[melee|hand-to-hand]] damage penalty, make them vulnerable."{{-}}<sup>[[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 109|RoE manual]]''</sup> <div style="clear:left;"></div> == Heroes with a specialty == {{H|Jabarkas|Barbarian}} has orcs as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]], which increases the attack and defense skills of any orcs or orc chieftains for each level attained after 3rd level and gives them a [[speed]] bonus of 1. == Official Renders == <gallery mode="packed-hover"> Orc evolution.png </gallery> {{Fanopinion| 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. In {{hota}}, the appearance of Orcs and Orc Chieftains has been changed to be closer to that of orcs from {{homm2}} and {{homm4}}: }}<!-- end of fan opinion --> {{creature 'see also'}} * [[Comparison of Level 3 Creatures]] * [[Comparison of Ranged Creatures]] [[Category: Creatures]] __NOTOC__
