Slow and easy to kill when engaged, they should be upgraded immediately, since 4 speed is too little for the adventure map. They are also the only [[Stronghold]] shooter for a long time, since you will obtain [[Cyclopes]] only later on, usually even after obtaining [[Behemoths]]. However, when having got Cyclopes, focus on them as main shooters, as they are not only stronger but significantly faster than Orcs (especially when upgraded - Cyclops Kings have brilliant speed for a ranged unit), and have an ability to destroy fortifications. When you play with [[Jabarkas]], you may still keep Orcs as your main force though, as they will not only get stronger as the game goes by, but also get a speed bonus which means that Orcs won't slow you down on the map too much.

In Horn of the Abyss, the appearance of Orcs and Orc Chieftains has been changed to be closer to that of orcs from Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars and Heroes of Might and Magic IV:
