I don't want to see this unit in mainline. Same reason as always: yet
another branch that reaches lv3 doesn't add diversity to the game imo.
And as much as possible I would prefer the orcish warlord to be the
only lv3 *orc* in mainline, it fits better the idea I have of Wesnoth
orcs: they are heavy-hitter, they are not archers, and even less
assassins.

I consider it a fault that the old Mermen and Nagas were obsoleted
before being completely removed from mainline. Especially since
Wesnoth warns whenever it encounters an obsolete unit. The game should
never have to warn about something we have complete control on. In
case there are still some users of these units in mainline by the time
of the next release, I will remove the obsolete tag to prevent the
game from warning about these units.

So please do as you see fit with the old units. And thanks a lot for
going through the trouble of taking care of it.

All of them? Or just the fighter? Or another one?
