Orc Evolution

Unread postby **Kalah** » 12 Jan 2011, 22:45

From the latest Fan Pack:

<i>Orcs have been a part of Might & Magic for a long time, and their design changed numerous times throughout the long history of the series. From the pig-like humanoids of Might & Magic II to the fierce tribal warriors of Heroes VI, you'll notice the Orcs kept one consistent characteristic in nearly all Might & Magic games: their orange-brown skin (the notable exception being the green-skinned Orc of Heroes III).</i>

Very nice. It's good to reminisce.

Playing MM6 (up to Tomb of Varn) at the moment and also halfway through 2,3,4 and 5 so some of those orcs have copped a battering recently.

Orcs did not evolve, they were designed by the divine intelligence known as New World Computing. All evidence suggesting that orcs evolved were put there by the evil 3DO and SoftUbi to trick people into forgetting New World Computing.

Is this supposed to be funny or something?

Considering them all, I like most the one from Might&Magic II. That's a true pigmen! The latter Orcs are, uh, oh, green, greenish, grey and ubish.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

@Pitsu
Ask Marzhin, it's he who do this picture (as far as I know) and Ubisoft not even credited him.

And where is Orc from King's Bounty (HoMM 0 after all)?

Reminds me, I need to continue the MM evolution threads :\

There are evolutions still left?

Unread postby **GreatEmerald** » 13 Jan 2011, 19:59

Of course. MM has a whole lot of different monsters.

LMAO there is an Ogre in Might and Magic VI part! FAIL!

@ Pitsu and XELII - I hesitated a lot before putting this one there but frankly, the MM6 "Ogre" is an Orc in all but name. It doesn't even look like an Ogre as seen in the other MM games - at all.

ThunderTitan · Unread postby **ThunderTitan** » 14 Jan 2011, 08:51

Well H6 seems to do the opposite...

Marzhin · Unread postby **Marzhin** » 14 Jan 2011, 10:04

@ TT: I totally agree - actually I guess in Ashan "Ogre" would just be a bigger kind of Orc. That's why I did this picture in the first place: I find interesting that the Orcs' design change drastically in almost every M&M game. Sometimes it's more D&D-ish Orcs, sometimes more Warhammer-ish Orcs... My personal favorite is the Dark Messiah Orc, I think it had found its own personnality.

H4 Pigorc disagrees...

By the way, I wouldn't call HoMM 3 Orc greenskinned. Its skin is rather greyish mixed with greenish. And it does have a pig-like face, if you look closer at its unit portait, plus, it has it on the concept art.

One more orc missing:

"Orcs who have been unable to master the skill of throwing an axe, yet are above the common hack and slash antics of a grunt, are given Boars as mounts to ride into battle."
