Heh... ya everyone needs "strong" national troops like Cohen's Crusaders!
I tried them out a bit and I guess I mainly think some Ratings are higher than make sense, rather than higher than are balanced for the entire nation in a high magic game.
Some things are severely off the usual scale for gold and resource costs compared to what you get. That can be all right if that's what you want, but if you want things to have appropriate numbers compared to similar things in the existing units, then I think there are several things I would change, like the "daggers" that are +1 to everything including length, and the 22-hitpoint orcs (unless these orcs are _supposed_ to be like half-ogres, or to be like Claymen).
The gold and resource costs are much lower than unmodded units with similar or lesser skills or equipment. However that could be the special ability of the orcs, which is fine.
The double hitpoints and built-in (magic ?) superior weapons seem more like mistakes, though.
I'd rather go even further and halve the cost of common orcs from 8-10 to 4-5 gold, but give them half as many hit points, change their daggers to normal daggers, perhaps change them from defense 10 to 9 (since they have attack 11 and are not elite troops). That would actually make them more powerful, in some ways (two for the price of one), but would make more sense to me than the super hit points and superior weapons, etc.
If these are based on Warcraft though, and in Warcraft the Orcs are like half-ogres, then maybe it's partly that I don't recognize what's trying to be represented.
