Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

Need to fix one or more of these possible problems with the user commentary text:

They have pretty high attack for a level 1 unit, and are effective attackers when in great numbers. Their speed and growth helps too.

Trivia

In the lore itself, the goblins (and hobgoblins) are aliens. Their blood is also green.

In one of the Armageddon's Blade teasers, the goblins were shown having bows in their hands. The reason for that is because the teaser animations were already done and were supposed to show a Forge goblin instead, which used pistols. However, due to fan backlash, they had to change the Forge creatures into "regular" creatures, and so the teaser became somewhat off-topic with ranged Goblins, a Minotaur and an Ogre guarding the so-called Varn 1904 Vault where the Armageddon's Blade was kept.

Their Forge equivalent was going to be called Grunt and its upgrade Foot Soldier, being a level 1 troop.
