Orcs and Orc Chieftains are level 3 creatures of Stronghold town. They are recruited from the Orc Tower.

"Armed with throwing axes, orcs and orc chieftains have an effective ranged attack. At close range, their low speed and defensive values, and the ranged attacker hand-to-hand damage penalty, make them vulnerable." ^{RoE manual}
