If you know that the Orc tribes exist purely to raid, slaughter and enslave, then hitting them before they can hit you would be the only possible course of action.Of course, the entire fantasy setting concept of scores of intelligent races with diametrically opposing cultures living cheek-to-jowl with each other makes very little sense. Historically, when two cultures with mutually-incompatible cultures/goals developed, only one would survive. Rome and Carthage being the perfect example, or even the Cold War.</blockquote>
