GameSpot continues its daily Warcraft 3 beta report series by taking a closer look at the orcish race today.
Here's a snip from the intro:
When most people think of Warcraft, the unending struggle between the orcs and humans comes to mind. Yesterday we went into detail on the units and capabilities of the formidable Human Alliance. Today, we'll delve into the orcs, once bloodthirsty enemies of the human forces, and well known for their seemingly endless ranks and reckless abandon in battle. Heavily influenced by the greenskin mobs of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, the popular Games Workshop tabletop strategy game, the orcs in Warcraft are actually cunning lot, well known for their brute force as well as for their powerful magic. Controlling the orcish horde doesn't single out all other races, however. In Warcraft III, the orcs have been joined by the race of minotaur-folk known as the tauren--a race of deeply spiritual and honorable warriors who would also like to see the land rid of their oppressive foes. Not the type to disregard potentially beneficial alliances, the orcs can prove to be excellent teammates in large-scale confrontations, but are always able to hold their own in single competition.
