Orcs, goblins and humans?

[Meglobob]

Dominions has its own 'unique' flavour as far as races is concerned, this originality is one of the things I like. You have Middle Age (MA) Man, Late Age (LA) Man if you like playing the human race (good, fun, powerful nations to play), there are also many, many more human dominated races.

I do not think traditional orcs and goblins exist in Dom3 but I could be wrong. You DO have however dozens of strange wonderful races that you will slowly fall in love with over time. Hoburgs (kinda halflings), giants, agarthans (underground lizard/giant race), abysians (fire race), amazons, demons, devils and even a alien race from another world, the R'lyeh. Plus many, many others...

Is there a traditional Orc/goblin race out of the 60+ by the way anyone? Just for old times sake it may be fun to play them...

Many thanks for the extensive replies, Endoperez, Migaaresno and Meglobob. I'm looking forward to playing Dominions 3 even more now.

Now, I don't mind the absence of a true "ork" race. Having lots of 'umies, some kick-*** monkeys and some though elvish-like folk seems like a truly interesting mix!

Oh and demons ... Excellent, time to get nasty.

See you all in multiplayer once I have received my copy, read the manual and dipped my feet in the single-player portion.

Ermor (Ashen Empire)is an Undead nation pretty much the way it was originally in WFB3, before the split between Vampire Counts & Khemry.

The game is easily modable.

Back in Dom2 there were mods for 2 orc empires, forest elves & dwarves...not sure if those have been converted to Dom3, but it should not be too difficult.

With some patience you might be able to create a mod yourself that mirrors any nation from Warhammer.

There are already several such mods/projects in the mod forum (including, last time I checked, 2 elven nations - warning: the blood elves are not supposed to be balanced)
