Description
ORCS 2012

What is it?
A Standalone plugin that adds one new civilization - Orcs - based upon an updated version of the the Orc difficulty mod for 40d. The physical properties of Orcs have changed somewhat, and they have been balanced more in line with existing creatures, but BOOM!

Oh yeah?

Yeah - it doesn't overwrite any existing raws, though Orcs have a few unique weapons (2h-Hammers for example) and their own (inferior) type of armor, scalemail. The purpose of the mod was add some difficulty into adventuring & Fort mode while messing with the vision of the original game as little as possible.

So these Orcs...

Orc attributes are drawn primarily from Warhammer:

-They stand slightly taller and much broader than humans.
-They are muscular, tough and quick to heal, but clumsy, stupid and slow.
-They have stubby little horns & claws, very thick skulls and small brains.
-Their hearts are proportionally much larger than those of other humanoids. Awww.
-They have terrible tempers and frequently become enraged in battle.
-approximately 10% of the population are born as Black Orcs, a bigger, stronger leadership caste.
-Black Orcs can enter Martial Trances.
-Orcs learn martial skills at 125% speed of other races.
-They have their own language and their own character graphics.
-Orcs attack forts slightly earlier than goblins do.
-Orcs live in human style cities (for now), but do not build roads.
-Orcs have an interesting selection of Nobles, all of which are eligible to lead armies.

In practice, Orcs are more formidable than the other races in straight combat - barging them over with their superior size, swinging bigger weapons and resisting damage better, with higher pain thresholds and intrinsic resistance to 1h-hit-kill headshots, than humans, elves or Dwarfs. Worldgen is not kind to them, and they usually only have a few secluded civilisations, but starting near one in fort mode can be unexpectedly Fun!

I take no credit for the original Orc raws, the Orc language or the concept - this is just intended as an update for people who liked the original mod and are seeking an added challenge rather than a total conversion. PEACE xx
