I'm having trouble with Orc Horde and I really just want to figure out the mechanics of this fight.
Zerker protag - 28 Kurgan - 27 Valgar - 24 Anomen - 7/28 Imon - 23 Aerie - 18/16 SPOILER! I've tried outlasting them but it seems endless. I then tried to just kill them all at once via imp alacrity/timestop via wish and mass aoe dmg spells after removing mage protections via remove/dispell magic but they still spawn in. My question is will this fight be over after x amount of time and its just a matter of survival, or is there something else?

Yes, you need to survive a certain amount of time. The best way would be to keep enemy mages busy, but don't kill them. The main danger is Archers, try to get rid of them as they appear. Use one of your fighters to distract Orc Warriors, but don't kill anybody unless it's necessary. Use Hardiness, regeneration and healing potions to survive instead. Use a lot of summons. Make sure your mages are always protected with Stoneskin and PfMW.
Those characters names, those are all Bioware NPCs, right?

This fight is all about survival. I was unable to win via killing, must admit it. Orcus is not that bad really, but you must know what you are doing all the time. SPOILER! Nice tactics, risky and brave, that I used once (second runthrough) and it worked like a charm: protect your fighters against melee damage (100%), level drain and domination spells. Ignore, yes, ignore summons and just attack him immediately on enter with improved hasted fighters but don't activate your offensive hla's yet. Wait until your hits actually connects the target and then activate critical strike hla (this is what makes this tactic so mean ;]) killing him on the spot. Ah, one more thing - watch for master vampires! These abominations are extremly dangerous if left alone for too long.
