Orcs – discussion about the race.

I'm interested in using the Daughters of the Sky in the late game. Pure Rage, a skill that increases unit production by +50%, and starting a battle with 4 spells. If you also have Sarissa artifacts, it saves mana – the focus is on casting Chain Lightning and using the Horde's Fury ability. The question is, is it worth it?

Hmm... It makes sense if you take the ring and crown/robe from Sar-Issa. First, the cost of war cries will decrease. Second, the Daughters of the Sky will initially cast "Chain Lightning."

However, the imbalance in the Orcs comes from the lack of "Remove Curse." You have to rely on deflecting spells from the school of darkness, such as "Blind," "Charm," and "Berserk." The key to success when the enemy Orc has zero resistance is to cast "Charm" on the Cyclops and then direct them at the Warmongers (if there are any). The Cyclops will take out someone nearby, and the Warmongers will eliminate the Cyclops with their "Furious Retribution" ability.

But the Orcs themselves are an attacking faction. The best defense is offense. They are strong against other combat factions but extremely vulnerable to some magical factions (if "Magic Resistance" is not developed or the hero has low spellcasting).
