Enjoy

Oh hells yes, especially the assassin part. I always love assassins and assassin like characters in whatever type of game I'm playing.

And I've always wished that I could do that with black dragons.

And as far as orcs go, I've always wanted to try and run an orc comp, but there were always drawbacks. 1.) Not as bad as the lizardmen, but usually came a little too late in the game. 2.) They seem a little too simple when I simulate their strategies in my head. Hack and slash, no terribly exciting abilities to speak of. These faults may have just been addressed.

Hmmm... sorry for the double post but something just occurred to me about those black dragons.

Will you be able to hit the same target more than once with advanced flight pathing?

Will there be an option for advanced manual movement? Hmm..... If not it might be worth making a mod that gives you the option to do so, like with the dragons advanced reign of fire.

1) You can't do that.
2)manual movement also is not available.
The Black Dragons will be too overpowered with such features

Updated with a bunch more information.

Orcs (all of them!) Now have three levels of adrenaline that gives them stuff. Some of their old abilities will actually require a level of it (10) before they go into effect. Such as irrascible for furious goblins and zeroing for goblins.

I didn't get a chance to play with them though, so I don't know exactly how adrenaline is gotten.

There is also a new White Kraken boss near Rusty Anchor island that you can fight. I didn't get a chance to kill it, but it looks to be easier than the other bosses. Summons devil fish and pirate ghosts.

One interesting change to the 'march of the orcs' expansion for AP, is that bad guy armies seem a bit more random. Fought orcs and other stuff on Debir. Also, the unit options seem more varied. Assassin's, fauns, alchemists, were all getable before getting even to Verona.

A fair number of units have new special abilities.

Read my initial post for updates to specific units and racial effects!

Sounds great Zechnophobe! Someone said in another thread that the new units/spells are only in Orcs of the Marsh, not the 2 mini campaigns. Is this true? I can understand if it is, considering that Orcs of the Marsh is basically a mod for Armored Princess.
