This article contains lore or information taken from Warcraft: Orcs & Humans and/or its manual.
These are the diabolical Humans, whom even their brethren distrust. They use numbers and tactics to overpower much stronger units, and will fight like rabid wolves when cornered. They hide in untraveled lands, and are turned away from any village or encampment where they seek shelter. The short blades they wield are made for quick slashing attacks, and are most effective.[1]
Many of these evil bandits were once loyal subjects of the King, but their greed and hatred has turned them against their own people. Like all cowards, they hide in the shadows, waiting to overpower their victims with surprise and numbers. Having been driven out of lawful settlements, they seek refuge wherever they can find it. Often armed with short swords and daggers, they rely upon their speed to fill their purses with ill gotten gains.[2]
Information
A Brigand as seen in the Warcraft: Orcs & Humans Manual.
Brigands are non-buildable units found as enemies in only one campaign mission, Northshire Abbey. They are similar to a Footman in terms of power, with more Armor but less Hit Points, which makes them quite vulnerable to Archers/Spearmen and other attacks that ignore armor. Interestingly enough, despite being described as ruthless outlaws, they actually help the humans during this mission. Brigands are also encountered as enemies in five of the seven Custom Game dungeon maps.
The Brigands in the Northshire Abbey mission have upgraded weapons and armor, improving their stats as shown in the unit box above.
They are the only Neutral unit other than Medivh and Griselda whose corpses can be raised by Necrolytes.
In the game files, Brigands are given a cost of 500 gold, but this is irrelevant since Brigands cannot be trained.[3]
