No one has any disagreement with dodge as the first double?

Totally useless trying to out bash dwarf & cd?

I have just started an Orc side I am going to try to take diving tackle, probably subpar but I think some block, guard, standfirm, diving tackle will be fun!

Well I did as I said all doubles and stats apart from strength should be ignored.

Sorry I missed the doubles point

Yes I agree the big 3 and possibly SF are better than dodge

I'd take DT or SS on a double. Invaluable. But probably not if the player did not already have Block.

SS really worth it when SF is a non-double? (Genuine question, i know a lot of people do it, don't know why)

I fail to understand why anyone is in a hurry to gain SPPs faster. The game is won with touch downs and/or the blocking war (which leads to another discussion of Block vs MB but without the "faster SPPs" point).

Block for me though, I need stability first.

I dont need MB to skill a BOB faster. Once he has block and guard he has the 2 skills I most want on him!

Block or Guard, my personal progression is Block, Guard, Mighty Blow, but if I lack Guard I may take it as first skill before Block.
Blitzers are your killers of choice, BoBs are more supporting players than killers, and I will never take + Stats on them but Strength.


Agreed. As for dodge; either give it to all orcs on their doubles, or to none of them imo.

It's not about fast (# of games), it's about fast (relative to TV). If you have an orc team 25 skillups, it's a lot scarier if, say, 10 are on blitzers and 15 on BoBs, than the other way around. For this reason, I also try to score with BoBs. It's a lot less important than for lizardmen, for instance (because at least blitzers also get GS access), but it's still better value for the SPPS imo.

It is a good poll...do you agree or disagree with the OP? Straight forward and easy and unlike most polls this one got it spot on. The vast majority disagree with the tactics of the OP.

Not sure about doubles. Dodge is probably a solid choice but Diving Tackle could be good too but maybe better on a blitzer.
