I'm not a fan of piggy orcs so I went with the basic H3 orc as that's closer to what I think an orc should be.

I would say the evidence regarding the matter of goblins = (not) orks is pretty inconclusive in Tolkien's legendarium. Even if they are merely an offshoot of orks, they would still be a race unto themselves to some extent, with their own peculiarities (at least physical, if not mental).

Sorry, but that is still not enough to make a final conclusion.

But there's no point in arguing about this.

I thought we were talking about HoMM orcs.

@Ohma

don't worry, you'll get used to it.

Hello:

------------------------------------
In The Lord of the Rings, Orc is used predominantly, and goblin mostly in the Hobbits' speech. The second volume of the novel, The Two Towers, contains passages where the terms are used to describe Saruman's Uruk-hai:

There were four goblin-soldiers of greater stature, swart, slant-eyed, with thick legs and large hands. They were armed with short broad-bladed swords, not with the curved scimitars usual with Orcs: and they had bows of yew, in length and shape like the bows of Men.<<<
------------------------------------

But there's no point in arguing about this.

Dude, you're hilarious...

I like the H5 Mauler, he is that kinda orc that almost completely goes for the offensive, brute force as most of the rest of his redish tier friends.
I like its design and weapon of schoice, though he would be cooler with a steel spiked club

Though, modern orcs have lost their pigness as they are supposed to strike an resemblance with. They still fit with their looks.

See it the evolutionary way.

Primates ---> Humans

Porks, Pigs ---> Orcs

And then it starts to make sense, at least for me why more and more modern orcs aint looking like pigs anymore.

Although I liked the design and the overall usefulness of the Heroes II Orcs, my choice is the upgraded and greenskin version from Heroes III, that is Orc Chieftain. Not the best shooter of its level but I like the character and attitude of the Orc Chieftain. It looks like a green viking warrior on a mission to slay some travelling merchants and monks.

I mst say that the first time I played with the orcs in H5 I was shocked to see the slayer standing on 1 tile only. It was so funny looking at this huge fat unit and then seeing it on the battlrfield, abit taller then the rerst but still puny.

offtopic:
I don't have a choice. I really don't like any of them

gave it to the H3 orc, vanilla flavour .... I always prefered the green orc, and no I'm not sucking up to AS people!

That orc slayer (H5) seems to be copied from WoW (that face and so on...)

but my vote goes to H2 orc chieftain, he looks most "orcish" for me

Wulfstan8182 · Unread postby **Wulfstan8182** » 10 Nov 2007, 23:15

voted for H5 orc shieftain cuz he's big, ugly, tough, got big teeth and has a nice axe(or is it a mace?)
