I'm going to say a lot I guess:
I noticed the difference in defenses but I also took the edge thaqt makes it better.
I have seen mamlauk orcs beat the snot out of warriors as well as I have been beaten as a very stacked warrior against a mamlauk (a chief can't remember his name) but if you cannot beat any warrior one on one with an orc than i'm sorry. Don't play an orc or learn how to play them. Plenty of warriors can be beaten by orcs and plenty of people can use staffs except warriors.
A warrior staff can switch to s a spear
A ranger can use a staff, paladins can spec in staffs.....staffs are very common and the first weapon that comes to mind when someone skilled is going to kill an orc, when at all possible they will use it.
Improved flee: If you can flee and move two rooms over you should be wording or teleporting, not trying to figure out where you are. You are an orc, you gotta know how to flee
DIrty fighting, who cares; when you see it its like....yay me, if you don't who cares?
Its a list of automatic skills, when they work you realize how awesome they are , if they don't or you don't realize it, you still have plenty to be working with. I personally did notice it, but I mastered almost everything and took skrugga edges.
I'd love to hear more about mundu, they seemed to have cool stuff; and never seen a log with one of those punters
