Alright, and now I've watched the rest of the video, I now understand that the great maw is in fact a supernatural entity of the ogres and not merely referring to a venerable glaswegian matriarch.

Another fine take. Something I like to do with ogres is to intentionally piss off the orcs, because orc armies in the early game really have nothing capable of handling ogres which means you get an unlimited supply of meat that cones to you

[@rave9532]

I agree with your takes mostly however my friend you forget or do not know of some amazing ogre abilities often overlooked. 1. Choose your Hunter heroes very carefully! Big names are a big part of the ogre game! Hunters can come with Gnoblarkicker a big name that makes all gnoblars unbreakable! Or Boommaker, the real gem here a stackable 20% increase of damage to leadbelchers and ironblasters! With these big names you can make terrifying dreaded ogre gun line armies, all on the back bone of a few ogre hunters! 2. Ogre camps have increased growth when you raid nearby them! This ability also stacks so several lvl 1 ogre lords all raiding a region bring fat stacks of growth. 3. Bloody and raw is just as amazing a trait as come and get it or the global recruit buff. 10+ attack damage on each ogre adds up to some stacked damage.

[@BlakesTakes420]

Good comment. Ogre big names I always found very low impact, there's normally one decent name and the rest are garbage, so I didn't think to make a section on them. I didn't know about that raid mechanic (does it have to be enemy territory?) I disagree with the +10 melee attack being good. I'd always take campaign movement range over melee attack because you can attack and sack more. Your charge bonus will give you enough melee attack to hit, especially if you cycle charge. And by mid game, a lot of your damage will be from ranged attacks. Good comment, I enjoyed reading it.

[@rave9532]

@@BlakesTakes420 1. There are maybe 4 big names that have value, I mostly remember Boommaker which is undisputed number 1, best big name. Gnoblarkicker is second best but logically you only need one per army if your build benefits from unbreakable gnoblars. The other two I forget at the moment it’s been a bit since I played ogres. 2. I know for sure it’s is definitely boosting growth under enemy regions while raiding near a ogre camp, however I do believe it’s possible with friendly territory I just played the same way for so long I never raided myself. 3. You are correct in terms of Skragg that cone and get it might be more beneficial due to the longer distances but Greasus benefits from bloody and raw due to a high density of settlements and Grimgor nearby.

[@jackakimbo5718]

Gnoblarkicker goes HARD. Incredible just how huge of a buff it is to make a unit that's otherwise trash unbreakable, just going full 300 against hordes of enemies while your actually valuable stuff does the killing.

[@rave9532]

@@jackakimbo5718 Indeed, I enjoy using them in ogre gun lines as leadbelchers will fire over gnoblars no issue so even a checkerboard formation is unnecessary. Stack a few Boommaker hunters riding stonehorns as well and it is a hard hitting army.

30:23 All Ogre units have wallbreaker, even cavarly and leadbelchers. Also giants and stonehorns have it.

One thing I'd like to add(a multiplayer strat here) you want to layer your gnoblar inbetween the ogres. Gnoblars prevent the bulls from being surrounded and act as a meatshield whilst the ogre bulls deal the damage. You want the gnoblars the absorb the charge and then charge the bulls through the gnoblars into the enemy unit. Works wonderfully ;)

[@BlakesTakes420]

It sure does. The trouble comes with speed. Your ogres massively outpace your gnoblars so to have them meat shield properly you'll need to slow your ogres down. It's more effective, to distract with gnoblars on one flank whilst your ogres act as a wrecking ball on the other.

Good man. I look forward to your update.

[@Welterino]

Remember to use melee gnoblars to break the "Bracing" on enemy units, any unit that is fighting cannot brace and so will receive full charge bonus, you can even charge THROUGH your gnoblars because they have so little mass the Ogres have no problem charging through them and into the enemy. That should be enough to win some frontline fights without even flanking, of course it's still a good idea to flank, I always deploy my Gorgers on a corner behind their armies and pounce on someone after the main fighting has begun, they are glasscannon units that will absolutely wreck any early infantry very quickly.

[@andre10236]

I like placing my camps in enemy territory, then repeatedly sacking the nearby settlement while using raiding stance with the growth in enemy territory tech to boost my camp up to around tier 3 (or 5 if lategame). only when I have my camp where I want it I take over the enemy settlement. This is a great video though. I feel like ogres are too often labled as bad because a lot of people don't know how to play them properly. It would be a shame if this lack of knowledge would end up being the reason for their very unique and greatly enjoyable playstyle being changed. Great take!

[@jackakimbo5718]

I found Gnoblar Trappers incredible in the late game IF the army also has a Hunter that has gotten the passive that makes Gnoblars unbreakable. Sure, they're not going to kill much on their own, but having a front line that will hold forever is AMAZING, especially with a ranged-heavy army. And if some Trappers die or would take too long to replenish between battles, just replace them with new ones at the speed of light. 4-5 Leadbelchers and a couple of Ironblasters behind them putting in the work and whatever you want to flank around/protect your own flanks (Crushers). Yum.

[@BlakesTakes420]

I just tossed gnoblar aside as soon as I could. I didn't try this strategy, but it sounds very strong.

[@pappy374]

[@BlakesTakes420]

[@darthnihilus6211]

I would add: Ogres reward you for having multiple armies with lower numbers (10 units) as taking over settlements provides them with 10 food per turn (from settlement building). At least until you have more camps to spare. That way, you would also have more Lords leveling up, which is a huge force multiplier. I also read that having a "mobile" Camp should help a lot. As food cost for your more important armies get negated. You can somewhat sidestep this issue by recruiting a new Lord, if the previous one runs low, but loosing those levels would hurt.

You forgot to mentions 3 things imo. One is the tech -50% upkeep on goblar units that is a must ! it allows you to fill your camp with free of upkeep units to defend ! Second is the tyrant generic lords, they are great recruiters ! They gives +2 local recruit cap & +5 recruit ranks ! Lastly to racks early on the +10% tech bonus, always have 3 others slaughtermaster lords with skrag, replacing them when they got the skill. It was a nice video but you also should have mention to either stomp Wurzag or ally him because his savage orcs are purely anti ogre (45% physical resistance and anti large, i still remembers my pyrrhic against him lol)

[@5x_simon_x587]

I hate to be that guy but I have to point out one mayor oversight in your video BT and that is the unique meat mechanic of the Ogres. Yes you mentioned the sacrifice mechanic with the great maw or the picknick before battle stuff but you did not mention that EVERY SINGLE ONE of your armies are, at least when not beeing close to a camp, ALWAYS on a timer from the beginning to the end of your campaign. Since meat is more important to the ogres then gold it should have deserved its own number in your list, because you can run your armies without gold for a few turns (there is always a settlement to sack nearby) but not without food. Their dependence on meat to keep them going is in my opinion one of their mayor drawbacks. Otherwise this was as usual a very entertaining and informative video. Looking forward to the nexxt one.

[@BlakesTakes420]

I actually disagree with that, your armies don't consume meat when in range of a camp, and you get lots from sacking and killing with your aggression, if you're aggressive, meats not an issue. I think I only had one army run out of meat in the entire campaign I played. The attrition damage was huge, but I just force marched them back to a camp and it went away.

[@5x_simon_x587]

Thanks for the response and I must say that i partially agree with you. I made the experience while testing ol' Greasus in the Chaos campaign that sacking and fighting is enough for the early armies which are not big yet but once you start running around with 20 units you have to fight an army of equal size to compensate the meat consumption. Yes there are technologies to counter or at least make the whole scenario easier but you have to reach them first. I also mentioned the "no foodloss near camps" mechanic in my prevoius comment. Besides there is not always an enemy army or settlement nearby to sack or fight every turn.

[@JinxBfjv]

Reason why you suck with Skrag: you don't take the best big name early in the campaign: the +20 relation to all factions. Seriously, it's powerful and it's one of many reason that Skrag is far better than Greasus. You are already a neutral faction, dwarves still dislike you but with the others you can act like a true mercenary faction. Factions will less likely to declar war on you. You will be able to choose the way you want to expand and the factions you want to ally or be at war with. Especially Skrag in his starting position where you are surrounded. It's actually pretty great start position, you won't suffer too much IA anti-player bias as long you stay powerful and don't do stupid shit diplomacy-wise. For instance, I rush Belegar in my campaign. Then Sartosa declar war on me. But I ally the wood elves and Ikkit. I choose to expand north in the Old world, making trade with the vampires. I had non aggression pact with the greenskins from the south. And I barely go east so I let the other dwarves alone. At tier 5 camp, I was strong enough to expand every way I want, with that confortable start is far more easy than Greasus's situation. Also, a tip I use early campaign with ogres: Use your main army to do your things, but recruit turn 1 another lord that will follow your leader. When you feel you will have not enough food to go further but you want to finish your opponents, just swap your main army to the other ogre lord that follows you. Him will have a lot of food banked, because He will earn so much passively being alone. And then at the start of the next turn reswap the armies if you like. Your ogre buddy will also being great to draw ennemy attention while your main army is ambushing.

In sieges they can stealth the victory point, in landbattles they dish out dmg, hold the line pretty well (or get slaughtered while doing so, which i dont care) and then can easily rerecruited. I like to blizz and win the annoying siege battles fast (ogres hate cities and literally cant walk through a damn gate while gnoblars have no problem doing so). Ofc gorgers are better in nearly every aspect, but they take 2 rounds to recruit, so it slows the blizzing. And while dishi g out way more dmg they are also more likely to get killed. So if you want a safe way to win forget gnoblars, but if you like a fast paced non stopping racing through the map, try this guys out. And if you are disappointed in their skills, ogres are always always hungry (sad that you cannot eat gnoblars to get meat, its so obvious)

I... I... _shudders in disgust_ appreciate gnoblar trappers.

[@syos1979]

Do one on our big fat greasy boy (Greasus) next please.

[@TheMoonlitFaerie]

the thing is, if the AI just chased them proportionally, using gnoblars and stuff to essentially just, run away sounds like good battlefield tactics to me, not any sort of exploit or shady shenanigans. Luring enemies out of position is just normal battlefield theory! In an ideal world it'd work better on like, empire and orcs and not at all vs dwarves or elves but that's just really specific. And it goes without saying it shouldn't be luring 8 units of enemies, just 1 would be good value. Should be doable to solve the overcommitment bit but I've never seen any videogame AI that could genuinely act with ideology matching its faction so that might be an ask :D

[@cloveroverdover7318]

I hope u r doing ok!! Ur videos r hilarious

[@BlakesTakes420]

Thank you friend! I've been travelling over Christmas to visit family and friends. Hope you have had a good one!

[@alpharius8336]

next one chaos deamons please

[@Lothi66]

I still suck with oge..., hmm I dont suck with anyone now?

[@grayrook8637]

Also other provisions tip: download the ogrehall mod. Night and day.

[@batatac4mil86]

Pls make one for throt the unclean or the changeling!!!

[@BlakesTakes420]

Mabeh.

[@aaron9777]

Took me a while to understand how to play ogres, id day greasus has a harder campaign. He is surrounded by powerful factions and worst of all he has to deal with grimgor who at turn will declare war on you super fast. Ambush battles for ogres are the bests because on your charge you can almost kill an entire unit.

[@spiffywolf2850]

if you havent already could you do a video on Kroq-Gar.

[@BlakesTakes420]

Hopefully soon!

[@user-rq7xn6uj6t]

I admeat it!

[@BlakesTakes420]

Outrageous, You have truly earned the title of Punnery wight.

[@roarwestby3861]

Save scum missions for camp growth and keep lords close to camps raiding to move super fast to tier 5.

[@BlakesTakes420]

Deliciously cheesy. J'approve.

[@sdrklpgp67]

Acrually i prefer a good guy Skrag approach, beating Border Princes into submission, then striking a peace treaty combined with some other treaties when you offer them some of their towns back, then offer some left over towns of theirs to Belegar and Balthasar when he gets in your radar, probably fight Sartosa and try to help Border Princes (this part is actually ptetty good, cause Vampire Coast have even worse Melee than you) and BAM. You are officially part of the order tide, with you the Dwarfs have no problem with Orks and you are effectively saving the world. (This entire campaign is actually about being a Santa Claus impersonator and giving all the settlements you can to your future good guy friends, also theres one Big Name for Skrag that really helps with diplomacy and campaign movement range early on)

[@botep5529]

Funny that you mention ogreordertide. My current imrik campaign my best and damn near only friend is greasus. I gave him one settlement that I took from Grimgore that I didn't want to worry about defending and we have been best buds ever since. He's currently steam rolling up the east mountains kicking the piss out of kholek while I'm rolling up the west mountains kicking the shit out of queek and skarsnik. Weird bedfellows in the old world. I wish there was more "neutral" factions. For instance I think vampire counts should be more neutral and should have their friendship more easily bought with gold

[@Dianbler]

Another great take, Blake. I'm taking a break from Warhammer 3, but the videos are always appreciated. Let's hope CA doesn't kill the game.

[@BlakesTakes420]

with the absolute flops that have been coming out recently, I truly don't blame you. Thank you for your viewership. ❤

[@Cheletiba]

What's your opinion on The Great Ogrehaul and Mobile Camp mods re: this videos topic?

[@BlakesTakes420]

No opinion on mods, I'm afraid I have yet to dabble with them.

[@Cheletiba]

@@BlakesTakes420 Fair enough! Thanks for the tips on why I suck with Skrag! Should still help even in a modded campaign!

[@BananaMystic]

It was only a flash, so I read it as "Engorgered: a portlymanteau ..." and I was like shiiiiit But thank you Blake, for more of your takes

[@BlakesTakes420]

If only I was that clever. 😂

[@BananaMystic]

@@BlakesTakes420 you are plenty clever sir, or at least your accent has convinced me as such
