The Orcish Buildings

Building image	Building description
	Great Hall The Great Hall is the Orcish main building. The recources (gold) are in stock here, and the miners and builders are also trained here. The Great Hall is built in the well-known Orcish building style: A red roof, supported by long bones/horns. Statistics: Cost: 180 Gold Hit Points: 1600 Armor: 12 Upgrades: Stronghold Fortress Units Enabled: Peon Hero (in multiplayer)
	Stronghold The first of the two upgrades available for the Great Hall. The Stronghold enables new units and buildings, so you eventually have to update your Great Hall. The looks of the Hall are also slightly altered after this upgrade, the building looks more solid and gains some extra fortifications. Statistics: Cost: 335 Gold, 100 Lumber Hit Points: 2000 Armor: 14 Upgrades: Fortress Units Enabled: Peon Hero (in multiplayer)
	Fortress The final upgrade of the Great Hall is the Fortress. When your Hall is converted to this Fortress, you'll be able to build and train many new high-level units, so that your offensive, defensive and research capabilities grow. These factors are crucial in battle, so you eventually need to upgrade to the Fortress. Statistics: Cost: 390 Gold, 130 Lumber Hit Points: 2500 Armor: 16 Upgrades: None Units Enabled: Peon Hero (in multiplayer)
	Burrow The Orc Burrow serves two goals: the building provides food for the Horde, a role that it has taken over from the Pig Farm. This means that you have to build more Burrows when you increase your army. The second function of the Burrow is the defence of your base. Peons can enter the Burrow and shoot at enemies from there. Once in the Burrow, nothing can hit them so enemies have to destroy the Burrow first before they can kill your peasants. Statistics: Cost: 90 Gold, 60 Lumber Hit Points: 600 Armor: 10 Upgrades: None Units Enabled: None
	Barracks To the fierce Orcish Horde, this must seem their most important building. Their warriors are trained in this structure, which seems so Orcish with the long 'horns' carrying the roof. Not only the basic Grunt and the ranged Head Hunter are trained here, the slow and heavy Catapult is also created in the Barrack. Statistics: Cost: 210 Gold, 90 Lumber Hit Points: 1400 Armor: 12 Upgrades: None Units Enabled: Grunt Head Hunter Catapult
	Lumber Mill The trees you've cut with your Peons are made ready to use for building purposes here. The Lumber Mill isn't necessary to harvest trees, but when you wan't to climb the tech-tree you'll need it anyway, and besides that it houses some useful upgrades. Statistics: Cost: 130 Gold Hit Points: 1100 Armor: 12 Upgrades: Steel Ranged Weapons Thorium Ranged Weapons Arcanite Ranged Weapons Improved Lumber Harvesting Spiked Barricades Advanced Spike Barricades Units Enabled: None
	Forge The weapons of the Orcs are being built in the Forge. Day and night, the fire burns to create the mighty battle-axes and spears that are used by the Horde's warriors. The Forge also provides updates to the weapons and platings of the Horde, to make the units less vulnerable and more dangerous in battle. Statistics: Cost: 180 Gold, 110 Lumber Hit Points: 1200 Armor: 12 Upgrades: Steel Melee Weapons Thorium Melee Weapons Arcanite Melee Weapons Steel Unit Armor Thorium Unit Armor Arcanite Unit Armor Units Enabled: None
	Bestiary The Bestiary is the place where the Orcs tame wild animals like wolves, kodo beasts and wyverns, in order to use them to carry their warriors and create a fast, strong and high-mobile army. Statistics: Cost: 200 Gold, 100 Lumber Hit Points: 1300 Armor: 12 Upgrades: Weighted Nets Wyvern Taming Envenomed Spears Units Enabled: Wolf Rider Kodo Beast Wyvern Rider
	Altar of Storms This is the place where the Orcs resurrect their fallen Heroes for only a small amount of the price they cost new, while the Heroes keep their experience. Statistics: Cost: 150 Gold, 90 Lumber Hit Points: 1100 Armor: 12 Upgrades: None Units Enabled: None
	Spirit Lodge This building, looking like it's constructed by native Americans, takes care of the production of the spellcasting Orc units. These mages are a valuable addition to every army, and when your enemy is getting stronger, these mages are simply the key to victory. The Spirit Lodge fills this need, and houses further research options to gain extra spells. Statistics: Cost: 170 Gold, 90 Lumber Hit Points: 1200 Armor: 12 Upgrades: Shaman Adept Training Shaman Master Training Witch Doctor Adept Training Witch Doctor Master Training Units Enabled: Shaman Witch Doctor
	Tauren Totem This building is a holy place to the Taurens, the newest addition to the lines of the Horde. The Taurens come to this place to honor their ancient heroes. The Tauren unit is produced here, and his ability Warstomp can also be researched here. Statistics: Cost: 180 Gold, 110 Lumber Hit Points: 1200 Armor: 12 Upgrades: Warstomp Units Enabled: Tauren
