+ | The goblin is a basic first-tier creature with no special abilities and good only for bashing. Their 3 Hit Points and medium speed make the goblin a useful troop in the early game, and allow them to defend [[Orc (H1)|orcs]] and to attack whoever approaches. The lack of [[Defense]] is obvious, and it makes Goblins vulnerable to attack. Ideally, Goblins should attack before being attacked, or a large number of them may not make it for the first attack. Their large population and low cost add to their effectiveness. One [[Wolf (H1)|wolf]], however is a better investment for 200 [[gold]] than 5 goblins, due to it's speed and attack capabilities. Goblins are strongly affected by the [[Bless (H1)|Bless]] and [[Curse (H1)|Curse]] [[Magic (H1)|spells]]. |
