‎Compared to Minotaur: no one's gonna notice "much" in this sentence, people would read it as "Oka doesn't rely on Invo"

-Hill Orcs are easy to play, due to their high HP and good aptitudes for melee skills. They have excellent skill in [[Invocations]], making them better at using certain [[god]]s' abilities. Also, Hilll Orcs are alright at magic, with decent aptitudes in a variety of spell schools.

 *Minotaurs have better defensive aptitudes ([[Armour]], [[Dodging]], [[Shields]]). Hill Orcs are better at Invocations.
 *Minotaurs are worse at Axes, but better at other weapon skills.
-Overall, the differences are slight. For a "pure" melee build, Minotaur edges out. But they are both strong species; games are rarely lost because you picked one over the other. (It's worth noting that [[Okawaru]] and [[Trog]], two of the most popular 'melee gods', do not rely much on Invocations skill.)

 *In [[0.10]], Hill Orcs received several aptitude changes to accommodate the removal of [[Mountain Dwarves]]. It is this version where they gained the +3 Invocations aptitude (+2 before the global Invocations buff was removed), a positive Fire Magic aptitude, and marginally better spellcasting stats.
 *Prior to [[0.8]], Hill Orcs received only +2 [[MR]] per level.
