Tips for new Ogre Kingdoms players (LOTS of tips on camps)

i've made a lot of random videos over the years, but this is the first one to go over 1k views which is pretty cool. glad this has (appeared) to help so many players. hope you all have fun playing OK!

me just rambling about tips for ogre kingdoms players. hope you guys found this useful. a lot of it has to do with camps and how to, in my opinion, use them to their fullest potential.

Also, if you think you missed something important because the in game dialogue was too loud while i was talking, feel free to comment a timestamp and i'll help clarify what i was saying at the time. sorry about that :\

Great tip on stacking recruit rank buffs in the same province!

I personally find temporary camps to be much more valuable than stacking high tier camps at home. No attrition, upkeep reduction that overpays the camp cost, and meat buffs are great for painting the map. Just move, place camp near the end of movement, transfer units into camp for reduced upkeep, end turn, destroy camp, and then repeat.

Mini tips for those temporary camps: you can destroy the default barracks that comes with them for an extra 300gold over the end turn. You can also disband the extra units that come with the camps to save on upkeep.

By far the best guide tbh mate. All the top channels where like I don't get ogres. This makes you realize how they play.

Really helpful, I've been struggling trying to use the camps as offensive tools when a more conservative approach seems to be better. Great video, easy to follow!

[Anti-FairweatherGolf]

Really appreciate your input on the Ogre Kingdoms. As a new player, this was extremely helpful!!

I started with Ogres my first playthrough. Learned some hard lessons - lost a tier 5 camp (my only one) because it was too far to the edge of my empire. These are great tips.

Thank you bro. Been playing them since launch and your tips made me realize alot of the problems I had first starting out.

Great video and tips. I recommend for the next to reduce the game volume significantly relative to your own voice track, since sometimes the selection feedback drowns out your voice. Also video sections would be nice.

Man I always struggle to find a good place to put my camps. Thanks for this!

ONE THING I FORGOT!!!!

if you raid the region a camp is in, it will give the camp an extra 10 growth a turn. this is HUGE early game cause it means a level 1 camp can be making 30 growth a turn. you can hire a 2nd lord to do this, or do it with greasus/skrag. since ogre regions make so little money anyway, you barely lose any income doing this. it's important to level up a camp early game to get to tier 3 to unlock ironguts/gorgers for skrag/greasus.

Helpful tips and a good video all round man. I hope you make more!

[serpentbeast]

Great video mate! Started the OK campaign last night and learned lots form your content

Best tips I've seen for the Ogre Kingdoms.

This is a great video and really helped me learn how camps work for Ogres. Thank you! That said.... for these videos you need to try to tone down the random scrolling around the map while you're talking!

Great info on the camps. Thx for video

[Professor.Farnsworth]

What really should have been done with camps was to make them akin to Dark Elves Black Arks in that, you can move them around in an encampment stance. I mean..
Great, camps give us 12% income from all non-camps, we get tier 9 units... but half the damn reason for those camps is for meat, for post-battle loot, for replenishment and attrition immunity.

Encampment stance to move.
Camp Stance to give sphere of influence.

Camps would feel so much better like that. I don't know why they didn't do this :3.

Bit quiet with the game volume way too loud, but great tips and info! Thanks for that!

[Batpimpn]

Hey Man,

great tips and good video - coming from another streamer - you get a subscribe!

i would ask if you can record your audio a little louder. I had to turn up the volue A LOT for my satisfactory level. Although, its probably fine for most i would like the option to listen louder to what you are saying as i play and work and listen to you at the same time. please and thank you.

[RawrJustJames]

My issue with OK is the meat upkeep, really stumps you early game, having to sit waiting for it to basically be over 200..

[yonokhanman]

How do you set that coop trick up? Only the faction leader seems to be able to travel through the portals.

[jaimeperales]

How do you Confederate ogre's quickly?? im on turn 126 and have yet to confederate.
