it looks as if the leaders of the sub-factions are
unidter

The sub-faction ablitys makes me think the the Shadow Khans are more of a sneaky, ranged oriented figures. While the Broken Tusks are the classic, angry, melee focused orcs

Shadow Khans are more of a strategy oriented group. Broken tusk are...well, reckless.

Well, that's nice, real nice.

So the Uprising uniques, EACH AND EVERY ONE of them are utterly pointless to field in a 'story'-like manner, after all they are all dead.

Gee makes me feel sorry for those poor saps who had to get them all, ne?

On another note: It's cute, but its the same story as all the other species of Orcs in any game. Warhammer (Except for the slaves bit.), Most DnD worlds, Earthdawn (Anyone remember THAT game?), Palladium, Warcraft... Nothing really 'unique' about these orcs.

if they made the Orcs to "unique" everyone would cry! like Elves, Dwarfs (why not make them a tree-hugging, dancing singing race that doesn't like treasure and hates to be underground?!?)

these stereotypes, even for fictional races, must be kept to...they are our "reality" and every fantasy author sticks to them also...

so of course MK Orcs are like all other Orcs..otherwise they wouldn't be *Orcs*

First off, Earthdawn is still the best RPG EVER, and no one will EVER convince me otherwise.

With that being said, klaw is right no point here.
