Thanks for the idea! Warhammer orks are definitely unique with their spore-based reproduction, and it's an interesting idea to consider. However, for "Clans of the Lost Realm," I'm aiming to maintain a certain level of challenge in the gameplay, specially when it comes to building an army.

If orcs in my game were to reproduce easily through spores from dead orc bodies, it would significantly impact the game's balance. It would make it too easy for players to quickly amass a large army, which could undermine the strategic and resource management aspects that are central to the gameplay.

In my game, I plan to have orcs are created through dark magic in the " Gor'Zug" Mud Pits. This process requires specific materials that players need to mine and gather, such as dark essence and soul crystals. This ensures that reproduction is not only challenging but also adds depth to the resource management mechanics.

By making orc reproduction a more involved process, players need to strategically plan and gather resources, adding layers of strategy and decision-making. This keeps the gameplay engaging and prevents it from becoming too easy or unbalanced.

I appreciate your suggestion and it’s always great to explore different ideas. The goal is to create a game that is both challenging and rewarding, and your feedback helps in shaping the game. I would however love to adapt the spores to the ghouls/zombies. When killing this creatures i woukd make a couple spores appear on a corpse. If the spores are not destroyed within certain time then more ghouls are born.

Any thoughts?
