Orcs – discussion about the race.

Well, it's not that bad, especially if there are towns or guilds on the map; combining darkness with chaos can be quite effective. Subjugating Executioners is tough, but subjugating Free Cyclops is even tougher, although it's unlikely anyone would use them against a Dark Mage... I agree that having luck on your side with a Lucky Wizard would be very helpful. It might be worth trying a hit-and-run strategy, although I haven't personally tried it...

Vaishan, try setting yourself a goal – to defeat Sinithar, the Orc hero, in a duel, and keep playing until you succeed. I think you'll eventually win. And when you're in a hopeless situation, cast an enhanced Armageddon; there might be a chance to win, even if you end up without any troops, but you'll still win!!! The computer did that to me once))) Or maybe I'm mistaken; perhaps the computer still had troops left, but it came up with a great strategy, and luck even played a role...
