Yes, absolutely HM; we'll give at least a week's notice.

I'm not feeling terribly inspired, so I have only two ideas
First, replace troll with Orc and make them Orc blades.
Second, slightly different thematically, call them
Orc Wardancers - Masters of the blade, orcish wardancers are the elite of the orcish infantry. Though stronger and faster than standard infantry, their true deadliness lies in their ability to distract and intimidate their enemies into giving the orc an advantage.

Hmm.. I'll have to think about it.
Also, I was thinking Goblin Sapper instead of Goblin Demolitionist might be cool, but both are good.

One changethough - we can't have Troll heavy infantry, as we're reserving Trolls as summoned (magical) orc units. So another suggestion for heavy infantry?
Best,
SC

+3 internets to GlyphGryph for this
Some of the descriptions might need to change with these changes.
Can anyone see any issues with changing the names of these units?
It will mean that historic ingame mail battle reports will refer to units that no longer exist, but I'm not sure that's much of an issue.
Thanks GlyphGryph.

No problems here. Orcs are ugly anyways... changing the names doesnt make them more beautiful
