I don't like to repeat myself; I've already written about this in one of the threads.
...There's a great tactic for Orcs against anyone, just not on small or medium-sized maps. I'll describe it for you; maybe it will help someone. It's a very strong tactic (I myself lost about 3 times to Orcs using this, and twice to Humans and High Elves).
The hero doesn't matter (yes, it really doesn't). My opponent always chose Centaurs (as he later explained, they're easier to manage). First, he tried to build three of them, protected them, and fought hard for gold... and then he started leveling them up. You won't believe it, but he leveled up an Orc, his main hero, as a Mentor. Towards the end, he bought almost all the Orc heroes and started training them, giving them all the "Protect Us All" skill, and consequently, he had about 9000 Trappers:smile07: :smile07: :smile07:.
Someone might say that Black Magic will counter it. No, guys, he fought against a Necropolis Black Mage and used dolls on the Trappers, killing the Centaurs with them... But believe me, about 11,000 Trappers, along with half of the Orc army and all the undead, then came to my Castle (~8000) plus a bunch of Vangromoners, Paoka, and Cyclops, and they overwhelmed my main Ranger (he was good with Rangers). They came to my Castle, where I desperately tried to defend myself by just sitting behind the walls:smile15:.
Besides mentoring, my friend also leveled up defense and attack, and I'm not sure what else (((I think luck and leadership, maybe logistics:smile32:).
P.S. We don't use this tactic among our friends anymore because it's OP! It's unbalanced! It can't be countered by anyone or anything!:smile41:
P.P.S. Use it if you didn't know. Give it a thumbs up if it helped. Annoy your opponents by shouting "Wrath of the Horde":smile16:.
P.P.P.S. I just talked to Chesom on the phone; it wasn't 9000, but 7500. He was leveling up his second hero with diplomacy (his second hero was focused on Trappers). That's how it was...
