How to stop Skull-Takerz Horde (Savage Orcs)
Hi, i am still in my first campaign with VC, i am at turn 218, i have defeated Chaos and in the souther part of the Orcs region, new Horde just appeared. Its Skull-Takerz Savage Orcs horde faction. Please can someone give me some tips how to defeat them? What do you need to do? Because chaos kept respawning all the time, you had to kill every chaos lord in one turn to stop them. Is it the same with the orcs?
I have different problems now on various places and i cannot afford to waste time, resources and armies to fight another horde rigth now so any tips are welcome. Thanks a lot.

you have to kill every army of them in order for them to dissapear just like chaos

I think they are different than chaos. So far, they only have one army each time, but the thing is - you destroy the army, you get the notice, that their nation was destroyed and they dissapear, but after 1-3 turns, they appear again, and again with the same name etc. I destroyed them four times now, but they keep coming.
I guess its ment to be that way to perhaps speed up the game or something from certain point in the game but its definitely different than chaos horde. Because when you actually destroy chaos, they will never appear again. (when you killed their armies, game would tell you that you survived but there will be another wave of them coming and their "faction" still stayed in the game, in the diplomacy etc. But the savage orcs are destroyed officialy, but they keep coming. So i guess there is no way to get rid of them other than finish the game.
(which will not happen to me, because right now i am at turn 253 i think and there are still three huge factions left - me, dwarves and empire. And i have to destroy both of them, so i think that that is another 250 turns :D )

Those Horde events are random. Check your objectives you must get all the objectives.

I played a very long Dwarf campaign and the random Orc horde spawned in the same exact spot around every ten turns once I was deep into the game and the Orcs were long gone from the map. Same spot, different Orc banner. It was so predictable I moved a Dwarf army to the exact spot and simply waited. They spawn, I kill them that turn before they have a chance to even move away, rinse and repeat.

I think there is no answer to stop them. I had already achieved the long campaign victory and finished all objectives and grudges. I wanted to continue the game to see the two remaining AI players, both human, battle it out among themselves as I watched so I was speed clicking through the turns and the Orc horde was a very common occurrence.

It's just a feature to make the game have something a little different and unpredictable even if it actually becomes very predictable. Find the spot they spawn at, park an army there, and terminate them when they appear.

I did that too (sort of). I was raiding the southernmost parts of the map (all of it dwarven provinces) so when i was there the savage orcs were spawning right into my face so i killed them right after they spawned each time. No i am more to the north so we will see what will happen. I will have to ocasionally sent and army or two down there to handle them as quickly as possible.
