Orc cavalry units gain an extra action when they have 4 other cavalry units in a range of 5

Mmmm i noticed that there is written custom card. I suppose it isn't a real mtg card xD

What about this one for the concept?

Very Dangerous But Very Useful Idea, I Like it. We need this tech to improve making a damage.

Cooldown 5, to make sure you can't just turn it off to prevent damage so easily. Your warg rider takes 15% damage per unused action, rather than a flat 20% if it doesn't use both. It is potentially higher, yes, but typically you will only have to take damage for one action, rather than 2, since your biggest problem is killing all possible targets before running out of actions.

15*action is too high since you can't always have someone in range to spend a single action.

The cooldown is ok but I wouldn't make it higher than 2 or 3 since it would become too difficult to handle.

Also I was thinking that seeing the second card we could simply change the condition to be some sort of +1 action if you have at least 4 orc cavalry in a small area.

+1 action, conditional on having multiple orc cavalry around. Sounds hard to make, but here's an idea.

Why not make this unlock a leader unit that gives all warg riders in radius 4 +1 action. (doesn't stack, obviously) I'd even suggest allowing it to give all wolf type units the bonus, if allies (interracial synergy)

This avoids trying to make a drawback at least, and you can have fun giving us another epic pixel art.

I'm not much into that leader thing but we might simply make one in 4 units spawn as a leader.

We need Daniel's word to see if it is possible to set a similar condition without heavy coding.

Otherwise there is a different approach. Just make every orc cavalry give 0.25 action to other cavalry in a range so that they receive an action only if other 4 cavalry are around.

Also we might consider making a tech tree withb both warg riding and infecting bite

The problem I see with 0.25 actions adding is you can probably reach 3 actions with enough wargs, plus an extra action from double strike. 4 action would get to be a bit much.
Infecting bite is a great idea

I think it might be possible to set a maximum value for that but I need Daniel to know that

Also i've edited the main idea

I was thinking to put infecting bites inside but maybe is not needed since both units can already use the poisonus weapon tech?
