Dwarfs are more 'defense/reaction/' than "ATTACK ATTACK" unless someone has pissed them off.

Hmmm, I am ready to post. Just not sure of what to do since Dwarfs are more 'defense/reaction/' than "ATTACK ATTACK" unless someone has pissed them off.

@ClocktowerEchosIt just struck me.
Should I come up a different name for my not!-orcs?
I mean they look nothing like @Lauder's.
They are big and muscular but aren't built almost as wide as they are tall. Their anatomy is pretty much human-like.

Orruk and Uruk also sound nearly the same.
Albeit perhaps we can explain this with the two races sharing a common ancestors from the distant past?
What do you think?

The common ancestor thing seems okay to me.

If you want a name, you can use what I sometimes call notOrks, Oqers (O-ke-ere-s)

<Snipped quote by ClocktowerEchos>
Uruk is a good name for many reasons to me. I just feared it might lead to unitentional confusion.
Well, I am fine with intentional confusion like nations confusing Uruks with the Orruks or in (less likely) the reverse.

So Oquers is neither to my liking nor it'd solve much, I am afraid.
Albeit this gave me a strange idea. Does any of the nations using Ogres?
Ogre is a man-eating "giant" in folklore and while fantasy often puts them as half-giants perhaps making my race the Ogres of this setting could be fitting.
Ogurz would be the specific term but Ogre or Black Orc references would be also common.
What do you think?

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

I know what Ogres are mate but yes, Ogres would be an interseting addition although I'd prefer them to be attached to one race as a subspecies or just a general mercenary unit.

How would other nations react to Uruk, as in black orcs looking like this:


... they think you're ugly, too.

I actually found Lurtz strangely attractive!

I think we've found Ophidian's fetish people.

@ClocktowerEchosOgres in this game actually being not!Uruk-Hai?
Yay or nay?

@RisenDeadYour NS mentions Ogres in your army. Although your unit list only has giants I ask you, would it be okay if my "black orcs" are considered the Ogres?
I don't even mind if you feature a different tribe of them later. Just asking if it'd conflict anywhere with your RP plans.
