Branch Overview

Military Traditions

Each branch summary preserves the faction flavor notes from the older page while sitting alongside the actual troop data.

Snaga Troops

Regular
T0–T4

The lowest of Gundabad's ranks — starved, filthy slaves driven into battle as expendable fodder. They fight in swarms with crude weapons and overwhelming numbers, dying by the hundreds to exhaust the enemy.

Snow Orc Troops

Regular
T1–T5

Hardier than the wretches of Mordor, the Snow Orcs are the backbone of Gundabad's armies — savage hill-fighters armed with spears, shields, and bows, bred for endurance in the frozen north.

Pale Uruk Troops

Regional
T2–T7 Ready

The elite warriors of Gundabad, pale-skinned and clad in jagged frost-forged armor. They form the disciplined core of Azog and Bolg's hosts — brutal shock troops wielding heavy blades, polearms, and maces with cold precision.

Half-Troll Troops

Unique
T4–T9

Towering beasts born of troll and orc blood, half-trolls are monstrous warriors of immense strength and endurance. Whether wielding massive two-handed mauls or crushing foes behind heavy shields, they are living engines of destruction feared by all who face them.
