[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 2839519, member: 1165"] I wasn't aware exactly how far they were from the humans. I was also under the association they weren't constantly attacking, otherwise the village would have developed a few warriors just through their XP of shooting at orcs and what not. If the humans are that close to the orcs, they're also going to take their defenses very seriously, and if they don't have an expert telling them how to set up the walls, they might import one for a few days to draw plans. In that case, it's no longer an orc raid, but a full-scale assault for the orcs to attack the vilalge. Now we wonder [i]why[/i] are the orcs attacking? A well-defended village isnt' an easy target, so whatever they're getting has to be worth the assault. PS I think the orcs might have eight hours to march if darkness exists for about twelve hours. They can take the short route home, unless they're loaded down with too much loot. If they win the battle, they can occupy the village for the next day, and hope no one could spread the alarm. (Fighting from the indoors would give the orcs some considerable advantages, but they would be hampered by poor daytime lookouts.) [/QUOTE]
