How can that not exist? What about Goshak? Hmm... What is the advantage of Krag's direct attack? It's just an attack. There are no limitations; a direct attack cannot be reflected, unlike the Horde's Fury. Immunities and damage reduction also won't affect it. Plus, if you manage to collect the set of Orcish artifacts, a hero with a direct attack will attack frequently. I don't consider Horde's Fury to be a very powerful ability; I much prefer Battle Cry, and if you combine it with Cunning... Goshak is, of course, a good choice for the late game, but no matter how many times I've played, Executioners were among the first to be eliminated from my army. Perhaps the extra 12 defense will help them last longer, but they can be easily defeated with magic, especially by Darkness, and when they start attacking you under Berserk/Domination, it will be extremely unpleasant. Although, Berserk on Executioners is not desirable, as they accumulate Fury twice as fast, i.e., they will gain 400 Fury for 1 attack, and 800 for 2. It will be very problematic to defeat them then :)
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
