 slower, trolls are more autonomous and usually have initiative since they do 
not need to be organized in two lines.
 
 Also, note that since troll regenerates, you really want to let your villages 
free for your other units to recover.

+Orcish assassins are the key for every orcish offensive movement.
+Use them at the very begining of every offensive action.
+Once poisoned, a unit loses eight hitpoints a turn until cured or resting in a 
village.
+Thus, a poisoned unit can't hold a defensive position unless it is a village.

units
