"The Orc hero will be the Barbarian, strong on attack and completely against the use of magic. He's basically a might hero, but has some "Spellbreaker" type abilities that allow him to reduce the effects of enemy magic on his units. All units in the Orcish army possess the unique ability of being subordinate to the call of the blood, they become more enraged: more martial and more aggressive. But the main thing is the more active they are, the better they battle. The Orc units are:
- Goblin - described as "mean, cowardly, and terribly dull," will run away at the sign of danger.
- Centaur - hybrid man-horse, ranged unit
- Orc Warrior - strong infantry, backbone of the army
- Orc Shaman - the only spellcasters, they use haste and slow and if necessary know how to sacrifice goblins
- Orc Chieftain - the largest and strongest orcs, armed with big two-handed axes
- Something called a Wyvern, I assume it's the Pao-Kai - large flying lizards
- Cyclops - units that can attack city walls in a siege
