About Orc Warchief: Strategy Story
The humans scattered your people. Build the Horde that makes them regret it.
A handful of goblins, a small clearing and the Old Forest: your return begins here. Orc Warchief: Strategy Story combines camp building, creature management and castle assaults. Grow your Horde, choose when to march and defend the home you leave behind.
CARVE YOUR CAMP OUT OF THE FOREST
Mark trees for your goblins to cut, haul timber and build on the ground they clear. Raise shelters, food stores, forges and training grounds. Trees are resources and cover: opening more land can also open a path for trouble.
RULE WITH THE WARCHIEF'S HAND
Pick up orcs and goblins and put them where they are needed. Keep your warriors fed, rested and paid. A sharp slap feeds Fury; unleash a Frenzy when the fighting turns against you.
DISCOVER WHAT THE FOREST HIDES
Cut a route to captive goblins, reclaim a ruined forge and secure a shaman's grove. Human guards hold these places for a reason. Capture their outpost to stop the patrols it sends into your territory.
BUILD YOUR WARBAND
Train fighters and bring archers, shamans, trolls and ogres into the Horde. Combine warriors and artifacts to shape your force. Decide who joins the assault and who stays behind to defend the camp.
BREAK THEIR STRONGHOLDS
Choose a target on the war map and examine its defenses. Compare available approaches, weigh the danger and send your warband through gates, walls and courtyards to the lord inside. Review the losses and claim the spoils.
HOLD AGAINST THE KINGDOM'S REVENGE
Conquest raises the Kingdom's anger. Prepare palisades, gates and traps before its soldiers arrive. The assault briefing shows the retaliation risk and the defenders you will leave at home.
LEAVE A LEGEND
A fallen camp does not erase the Legend of the Warchief. Permanent upgrades carry into later runs, giving the next Horde a stronger beginning. Try a different camp, a different warband and a different route to victory.
Build the camp. Command the Horde. Make them remember.
