I think the Wyvern poison will hurt more then assasin poison. Because the Manticore poisen hurts also more then the assasin. i hope it will be even more then the Manticore, so it will be a nice poison
Althrough it's both a tier 6 creature, so probably both 4 damage/creature.

To end the discussion, I've played through the specific chapter of DM, though not specificly for this reason. The Orc in the Goblin Tunnels who asks you to free him is named Orok.
And as several other have already stated, the rise of Quroq was most likely somewhat of 500 years before the events of DM.

As for Orcs being 500 years old, it might be possible. We don't know how old Demons can become, but we know that Kah-Beleth, the Demon Sovereign, was around when Sar-Elam locked away the Demons, so the high ranking Demons can become wel over 1000 years old. Seeing that Orcs are half Demon, their Lifspan might be lenghtend by that.
Having said this, there has been no actual information on this topic, so this is all based on deduction and gueswork.

Out of curiosity, where and when did Nival announce that Quroq's campaign was set 500 years in the past?  As I understood it from both Wikipedia and other sources around the place, the first campaign will be set -500 years, and the others will be post-Isabel's War.  I know that Wikipedia can be grossly inaccurate, but I think this info can be trusted.

Quote:
New campaigns - End of the story of Biara and the Demon Sovereign that's been with the whole Heroes V series. Three full campaigns have been announced, one for Necropolis, Academy, and one for the Bastion, the new Orc Town. There will also be an introductory campaign set roughly 500 years (by the game's reckoning) ago.


Nowhere does it say that Quroq will be appearing in this campaign.  It is possible that the one we saw in the video is from the true Orc campaign and not the intro one.

I wondered about that.  Also, I've had to edit the TotE page of Wiki twice: Somone keeps saying that the new castle is the fortress.

lol... if that is the case it will be really bad. If I get this right it means the Pao-Kai is a very weak Deep Hydra because the dmg each unit takes is: dmg done/number of enemys affected? Tzzz. Do I understand this right: If the Wyern attacks 2 targets and deals 100 dmg the both only take 50? That would suck big time... I hope I missunderstood you.

@Cepheus I doesn't say that Quroc will be the hero in the Orc liberation campaign. But afterall all screenshots and videos we have seen with Quroc are all about freeing his fellow Orcs from Haven. And as far as I know it has allready been said that the Campaign which is set 500 years before DM will feature the Liberation of the Orcs. But that are just my thoughts...

I dunno, they would make it more powerful, like each target gets

(Number of targets -1)
(Number of targets)

so 4 targets would get

3
4

of the damage.

I read somewhere (can't remember where) that the orc chief would be named Gorthai. Perhaps he will be the orc hero in the latest orc campaign, or perhaps I have misunderstood the whole thing or missed some later information

@Azagal:  Alright, no worries, but others seem to have assumed that Quroq is going to carry over from the intro campaign to the next Orc one.  It is possible that the first campaign will feature someone else like Kujin (*cough*Biara*cough*) or Gotai, who looks well over 500 years old.  Besides, the Orcs are probably finally exacting their revenge for the wrongs inflicted upon them, rather than freeing anybody.  Also, why would Nival bother showing us parts of a tutorial campaign if they could get away with a preview of the actual campaign?  One last thing - Alaric appears in the videos we have seen, and he is certainly not 500 years old.  God, the whole thing is all over the place.

Also, Gil-Galad, you are mostly correct here.  'Gotai' will feature in the campaigns as a character, though we don't know if he will be playable or not.  Maybe, as I say, he will be in the intro campaign.

Well I have been reading a few interviews and reports from the guy that tested tribes of the east on pcgames.com (the page where we had the new video from) and there are some new infos or atleast i can confirm many things people have assumed before.

-The Orcs will have a non-magical cleansing ability
-There will be artifacts that decrease the enemy Heros Spellpower (something like that it wasn't quite clear)
-They have very low defense
-Cyclopses will be able to EAT goblins "for their own benefit" (no idea what he means prehaps he'll regain hp or something like that)
-The Goblin upgrade that looks like a hunter will have the ability to lay a trap which binds the unit on a certain spot on the battelfield (it will not be able to move anymore but its not said for how long
- When the Orcs got enslaved after the war some flee to Ranaar (place in the east). Quroc returns together with Kujin and Gotai to free his orc fellows. I am really not sure about this because he formulated it very vaguely...
-Goblins don't retaliate when they are hit
-Goblins will switch sides incase you meet a (much) stronger army
- There are 3 levels of Rage
-Orcs will have a kind of "Smash Conjurations" abillity which will increase the dmg against summond creatures.
-The Orc hero will be able to enhance the effects his unit gain from bloodrage (i'm also not sure about this one as said above he is very vague from time to time)

We'll its not much but atleast something and im sorry that i can't be more specific in certain cases but he is babelling very much...

Well, there are a few new facts here. The goblins will change side when facing a much larger enemy. It's at least more realistic than changing side when most of them are killed. Who will join those who have allmost exterminated you? But will they join you again if you win the battle? If you are outnumbered but manage to kill so many foes that you outnumber them will the goblins come back?

The cyclops will eat goblins? I thaught the wyverns would. Perhaps one cyclop upgrade will eat them and the other upgrade throw them.

A non-magical cleansing ability will shurley help when fighting demonlords and necromancers with dark magic.

Or if u attack goblins with a superior army, they end up joining you. So it can be either an annoyance or something people can abuse

And in the campaigns we will mostly fight as orcs, not against orcs, so it wont help us much there. But if it happens and the goblins join us, what will happen to them after the battle? Perhaps they will be offerd as followers.

Lol i guess they will most probably be slaugthert because of their disloyaltie. Or you kill like 50% of the remaining Goblins to set an example for what happens to traitors and the rest comes back. Or maybe if you are strong enough in battel they will switch sides again?? That would be interesting but not very likely i think.

Angelspit alerted me to the Tribes Product Page! Naturally it tells little but reveals the release date as 28/09/07. A bit later than I'd hope but works for me!
