Three not so realistic units for Warlords 4: Heroes of Etheria have been introduced at the official site. Here's the descrption of the Egg Chukka:
Orcs and Trolls always seem to be looking for new things to throw at their enemies. So it was only a matter of time, given the rather odd Orkish history with brightly-colored eggs, before somebody thought of hurling these eggs into battle.
Various eggs were trialed, but it never really gained favor until the Orkish Warlord, Skablikka, raided the lair of a Fire Dragon and stole a clutch of Dragon eggs. With typical Orkish cunning he kept the eggs warm and ready-to-hatch as his horde marched over the mountains of Barad Dumyr towards Blackmoor - a city on the border between Theira and Siria.
The Orcs began the siege of Blackmoor in typical fashion, hurling rocks, sheep and any itinerant Goblins over the city walls. However on the third day of the siege, as the eggs were almost ready to hatch, Skablikka ordered them loaded onto catapults (and of course painted brightly in the ancient tradition of Rabbit-Smasher).
The Dragon Eggs flew into the city and smashed in the streets. Soon, a horde of small ravenous Fire Dragons were rampaging through Blackmoor eating everyone in sight. It was a masterful plan, except that when Skablikka and his troops finally entered the city, most of them were eaten by the Dragons too.
To this very day, the ruins of Blackmoor are off-limits to most sensible folk. A number of Dragons still dwell there - now fully grown and more dangerous than ever. As for Skablikka, he was never seen again, and most scholars believe that he was probably eaten by one of the Dragons. |
