I just checked Spears, but I guess you are right. I was just going of his example of 5xlegendary spear-orcs. But the "common orc" as he mentioned, does not have any boosts to combat skills.

[Arcvasti]

Huh, I thought orcs had higher combat learn rates. I've got all default settings. Might just be that orcs aren't affected properly by harder learning?

[Meph]

As I said, harder learning is only for dwarves.

Is is possible to make it so there is a way higher chance of dieing from infection for orcs or orcs don't have access to soup so to make injured orcs are just wastes of space in the eyes of the army?

[T-Rex]

Is it intentional for the new emigrating script to also apply to Orc forts? Cause I can't seem to find if you can  build an Embassy in an Orc fort so I can't seem to control it in any way.

Could you rephrase that? But no, no higher chance of dying from infection... why should they?

Yes, its intentional. It affects all races atm. I didnt think that "emigration 10" (from 0-1000) would be such a high number that its a problem, rather have a very rare emigration event. If too many emigrate, I can either do:
 - Disable it by default for all races.
 - Or add a control mechanism to all races, like the Dwarves have with their embassy.

Why, how did it go? Did all your orcs run away?

I think I'd really like a way to just turn emigration off if I can't control it or influence it somehow under normal circumstances as I've found it more of a headache than anything else. My two problems I've run into were during an early fort when there's still growing pains, I had Orcs leaving at the same rate that migrants were coming in, and in some cases even a few more leaving meaning that the already painful shortage of manpower in the early game was made even more painful. The other problem was that I had valuable orcs (like an Ologg who was training up as a heavy hitter) leave simply because of the bad timing that they were unhappy whenever the emigration check was done. (in this case the Ologg was unhappy because a friend of his had been killed not too long ago by a giant elephant). So off he went with the merchants with no way for me to stop him.

I understand that some people may enjoy this sort of challenge, I'm just asking for the ability to turn it off.

Until it's fixed, you can change the emigration settings through the dfhack console; just type 'emigration #', where # is the frequency.  'emigration 0' disables it.

Its a feature. No self-respecting orc would consort with those foul waterfowl or milkbeasts!

Why use puny domestic animals when you can use your fallen foes or just random wildlife you hunted?

Okay got back a bit later than I thought I would; my dad had some trouble. I'm going to look over the list some more once I get home.

I feel like these would be easiest to start to with: 10.) , 9.) 3.) maybe 1.)

I am looking at the tribal warfare workshop. One thing I have noticed is how the tribal warfare workshop uses ironbone to make iron bone weapons but can't use bloodsteel to make bloodsteel weapons. It can only makes the from raw materials.

This is an inconsistency between iron bone and bloodsteel weapons manufacture.

I'm having issues trying to embark as orcs -- It shows generic same-name stuff for all digging implements and most weapons but the digging implements can't actually be used to dig.  Sorry for being noobish but I'm excited to try some of these new civs but I keep running into issues
