why the hell peons have pillage?

why, what you people going to mass in peons and attack, who the hell thought of putting pillage with peons, but yeah better with then without it.

Well, when WC was originally made Peon rushes were quite viable, plus it tried to make the Orcs as brutal as possible.

I mean, Tauren got Pulvervise and each worker gets a passive/weak aggressive ability (Call to Arms/More than 1 Peasan to work on a building/Detonate/Renew/Unsummon/Summon instead of build). So it makes sense to give more than just Battle Stations.

if you ever made too many peons cause you needed alot wood fast you can always send a bunch of peons to surround a farm or a building of some sort. they are small and can easily surround a building.

You have a good point...who knows what bliz was thinking.

I think x42bn6 might be on to something though.

hmmm very interesting topic, i tried massing wisp rush with my dh. I definitely gotten enemy's manas and summons, but i didnt do any dmg. Any feed backs? (here is my newb self when RoC jus came out.)

Anyways, i think giving pillage to peon is really worth debating. Honestly ive never seen peons attack in my last 3 (? or 2??? idunno) of war3 playing.

I have never seen mass peons before, only mass acolytes.

If you lose all your units THAT early, and you're ORC, then, well, *shudders*.

I do have to admit though, that orc units are slow and big. That = bad pathing.

 

[burnning acid]

a real orc will not allow that to happen except if he is being rushed from the begining

 

[SimonSims]

yea well im just too good for them and they fell to my wraith of my superior skillz

 

[shutupandgoaway]

For peon rush of course, silly. It also makes them kind of useful as fighters themselves if you tower in your enemies..if you have enough building towers, you can take them after you're done and attack buildings. IDK, just a thought.
