FIGHTING AWs

In order left to right, and circle back, each unit is strong agains the next two, and weak against the previous two.

I'm in Chapter 5 on both cities. I've been stocking up on Orc Warriors.
And I just realized I can actually USE them in battles because the Orc Chapter (8) only needs ORCS - not Orc WARRIORS - for Trade/Upgrade things, yes?
I don't need an ORC NEST until Chapter 8, right?
Someone please let me know. I've researched this in the Forum and I keep getting confused by all the "tech" talk about them.

Thank you.

Hi.
I'm in Chapter 5 with both of my cities, and I've been stocking up on Orc Warriors.
And I just now realized that it's actual ORCS in Chapter 8 that I'll need for Trade/Upgrade/etc things in that chapter.
So, my question is this: Should I go ahead and spend them in battles, or continue to hoard them?

Thanks.

@SuNaya Dark continue to hoard Orcs, as requirements increase with each chapter, and some chapters are Orc intensive, and will deplete large stocks. They are also required in Spire and Tournament when catering.
Your Orc Warriors and Orc Strategists you should use whenever fighting.

@SuNaya Dark Orcs are different than the fighting orcs. It does cost the new ch.8 regular orcs resource to train the other orcs that are troops in the training grounds. Certain buildings give you the fighting orcs as well to save up there if you don't want to spend your regular resource orcs that you will need later on.

Orc warriors are quite squishy for a heavy melee unit. Archers and mages will shred them to pieces. I prefer the other heavy melee units.

They have no defense but they do chop harder than a Treant. There are some situations where they can be useful, especially if you know enemies will target your other units first and leave them alone.
