The label of Peon denotes the lowest station amongst those in the Orcish Horde. Inferior in all skills of worth, these dogs are relegated to menial tasks such as harvesting lumber and mining Gold. Their labor is also required for the construction and maintenance of buildings necessary to support the vast undertakings of the Horde. Downtrodden, the Orc Peons slave thanklessly to please their overseers.

Peons have the unique ability to be loaded in a burrow to not only provide additional firepower to defend your base, but perhaps more importantly, to protect your peons from harm. Peons outside the burrow can repair it and once they become injured, can be swapped with a healthy peon that’s inside the burrow who can then repair while the injured peon is protected. It is recommended to build a burrow near your gold and lumber peons at any bases you have due to this reason.

Peons can be linked with the spirit walkers spirit link ability to allow damage to be spread across them as well, as it’s a global effect. Just be cautious about your peons being on low health as they can easily be sniped by the enemy if this is the case.

Version History

Balance Patch History
Version	Release	Balance Changes
1.17	2004-09-20	Harvesting, building, and repairing workers are the only units left behind by a teleport. Repairing an upgrading building now uses the repair time and cost of the original building.
1.15	2004-05-10	Fixed an issue that allowed Banished worker units to build, Repair, and harvest. Note that Detonate and Unsummon will remain unaffected by Banish since they're considered "magical".
