About the 3rd level Orcish Nighstalker,

 

I consider it a weakness in the orcish race that for a long time they have lacked level 3 units. I've watched the undead get a level 3 warrior and an archer, and the elves get a level 3 scout, while the orcish slayer and archer line is still stuck at level 2. This is really a difference in design philosophy, Miyo was famous for thinking not every line should have a level 3 unit . But since he's left we have seen many units who lacked 3rd level version get them and I think that assuming we can re-balance the assassin line so it isn't too powerful, it's way past time for them to get a 3rd level unit. It would also be a good chance to re-balance the slayer and assassin who with their 70% defense in hills and poison and much better damage at lvl 2 are some of the most dangerous units in the game.
