📋 About This Mod
Orc Strongholds Use Orchish
Does what it says in the disc, gives all fighting orcs, orchish weapons and armor. (any orcs without orcish are trainees or workers)
(Also as a added small benefit, all orc companions for these strongholds will have skills better suited for heavy armor and the weapon they use)
Please report any bugs if any in comments and enjoy!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 356 endorsements and over 10k downloads
- Makes stronghold orcs actually dangerous, even against dragons or bandit groups
- Simple, focused tweak that boosts immersion without overhauling the game
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods
- Only affects warrior orcs in strongholds, so its impact is limited to those encounters
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter orc equipment or stronghold NPCs
For Skyrim players who want stronger, more lore-friendly orc enemies and a bit more challenge in stronghold fights. Skip if you prefer orcs to stay weak or if you use mods that already overhaul orc equipment.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod changes NPC equipment, it's best to install it before starting a new game or entering a stronghold for the first time to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to keep your load order clean.
- Check if you have other mods that alter orc armor or stronghold NPCs, as they might override this mod's changes.
