Ogre Chieftain - Does recruiting work? - Does Orc Veteran Scold work?

Well, he recruits Orcs - meaning Orc, Veteran Orcs, Orc Trackers, Orc Shamans and Blood Shamans. Nifty.

Btw, the unit is called Orc Chieftain. He is big, but not an Ogre - that's another Level 5 unit (yep, the Orcs are the only race now with 2 Level 5 units).

Wait, so which is it now, all sorts of orcs or just the level 3 unit orc? Rancor claims it's the latter.

Is it random? The goblin shaman always recruits after a battle, but randomly picks a goblin troop. If you pair only a goblin shaman and goblin in your army, you will always accrue more goblins after a battle. If you pair only a goblin shaman and catapults, you accrue catapults, etc. If you have all three units, you accrue either goblins or catapults.

However, when I tried this technique with Orc Veterans and Orc Chieftains, I was not able to get any additional Orc Veteran units after a battle.

I agree that it should recruit any of those units by design. Perhaps another bug?

So what units did you get? Or nothing at all? By description I think it should be all units of Orc Race that are not Goblins or Ogres.

Nothing at all. I totally agree with your assertion, as that would work in a similar manner as the Goblin Shaman's "recruiting" ability.

Ok, the description was a little misleading, or I was being too optimistic.

Scold ONLY works for the actual veteran orc stack itself.

Another thing to add for the "incorrect descriptions" list...

I can confirm that orc chieftain recruitment does NOT work.

I have orcs, orc trackers, and orc veterans and recruitment does not increase the numbers of any of the three after several battles done.

I also have open reserve slots.... So yah unfortunately this seems to be bugged
