Stronghold - Level 1 Goblin
Goblins are cowardly creatures and do not make very good soldiers. Even if they have seen their kinsmen killed before their eyes, goblins would still not think anything of switching sides and joining forces with the enemy. And faced with the slightest threat to their own safety, they will try to flee as far as possible. Only once forced into a corner, and left no alternative, will a goblin actually put up a fierce fight for its life.

Goblin Witch-Doctors are greatly respected among their kin. Renowned for their vast experience and intelligence, these shamans know how to play the tambourine, dance around the fire and tell terrifying stories. They can also torment any foes who try to use magic against them, and there is nothing more unpleasant for a magician than seeing that his spell does not work, or it is not doing what it is supposed to.

The main strike force of the orc army, these hardened and fierce warriors can run for miles on end across the vast steppe, going into battle without pausing for breath.

Stronghold - Level 3 Upgrade Mauler
Doing battle with a Mauler is an extremely thankless and exhausting task. These warriors are born fighters, and there is nothing they desire more than to be in the thick a battle, where the blood of the enemy flows in rivers. As soon as they go into battle Maulers are transformed into pure killing machines. Armed with maces, and able to move at great speed, they are guaranteed to shed plenty of enemy blood. And where other fighters would manage just a single blow, the Mauler can deliver two, meaning that the level of harm it inflicts on his foe is far greater.

Stronghold - Level 4 Shaman

Stronghold - Level 5 Upgrade Executioner
Executioners believe that fury is the best form of defence and that earning the fear of the enemy is the highest possible reward. Therefore they show disdain for danger and refuse to wear any armour when going into battle.

Intoxicated by the scent of battle, they will attack any living creature that dares to challenge them.

Stronghold - Level 6 Wyvern
Dwelling in the barren hillsides and hunting wild aurochs, the Wyverns are distinguished by their ill-tempered character and a peculiar habit of killing anyone or anything that does not bear a close resemblance to an Orc. It is said that the wyverns are degenerate dragons, transformed under the power of some cursed magic; but that remains nothing more than conjecture since those who created the wyvern are all dead - probably killed by their own creation.

Stronghold - Level 7 Cyclops
These gigantic embodiments of their demonic ancestors' strength and rage have not been sowing terror and death among the enemies of the Orcs all along. For a long time, they lived separately from their Orcish blood-cousins. But then the Cyclopes, wild, unpredictable and unbridled in their permanent state of hunger, were easily swayed by the reasoning of the clan council who offered them plenty of goblins, the one-eyed monsters' favorite food.

When an Untamed Cyclops flies into a rage it can no longer control its actions and is even known to destroy goblins, which are a favourite delicacy. The Cyclops' strength is so great, and its huge club so mighty that they are often deployed as siege machines to destroy gates, towers or city ramparts. And woe betides any poor guard who falls into the Cyclops' clutches.
