Despite being a strictly offensive civilization, they can also be played defensively and can counterattack rushes from other factions with their own defenses. While this reduces the need to micromanage unit production and allows the player to swarm the enemy, this ability also allows the player to achieve economic supremacy by wearing down the resource income of the enemy through constant attrition and opposition.Īlthough they do have ranged weaponry options, they have shorter range compared to other factions and they mostly serve to supplement their melee units which are arguably among the best in the game. Although this will reduce the quality of their units substantially, players can simply toggle their unit production buildings to train Slugga Boys indefinitely automatically and direct them to the enemy. As the game progresses, they eventually will have the ability to train Slugga Boys for free, allowing the Orks to spam mass them against the enemy to a great effect.
The Orks are a faction that specialize in brute force melee combat and a direct assault against the enemy.
