The Color of the Orcs

Unread postby Angelspit » 13 Nov 2006, 21:39

A nice Dark Messiah mod by skribb changes the skin color of the Orcs to what it should have been in the first place. You can download it <a href="/http://darkmessiah.filefront.com/file/G ... 1">here</a> if you are interested.

If you would like to take a look at the original page visit this link:

That's just because he's been drinking from my Goblin-formula stash again. Bad expectoration of a winged humanoid.

anything other than the common way is at least slightly original. if somebody designed a car right now with tailfins it would still be somewhat original in that it completely stands out from the norm.

In M&M, orcs are orange or brown-skinned. It's the case in Might and Magic 3, 4, 5 or 9 (or even the "ogres" in MM6). Or HoMM 1, 2, 4... We have already far enough (not to say "too much") Warhammerism in the "new" MM universe, so stop trying to make it even more déjà-vu...

Erm, I thought only goblins are green? Also I can't recall any single green orc in previous M&M and HoMM games. ;)
