If you don’t set up camps this is about as well developed as you can get. With some mechanics such as the Camp system being presented as an optional (and almost unimportant) gimmick when in reality the placement of Camps is a vital element of your campaign. On the world map, there are more moving parts to deal with. In battle, they are easy to use and get to grips with. Something that has made writing this review of Total War: Warhammer III’s Ogre Kingdoms needlessly annoying. I feel that Creative Assembly has done a terrible job in explaining how the Ogre Kingdoms work in this DLC. However, this joy was spoiled by some frankly bad tutorial text and how poorly the Ogre’s mechanics work with the main Campaign. I honestly feel that they are the most fun faction to play in the game. The tools that are available made Total War: Warhammer III’s Ogre Kingdoms a joy to review. You can also build Camps to expand your roster and provide you with extra food and buffs for nearby armies. To help with your plans for conquest you can take Contracts to earn extra money and boost relations with other nations. The Ogre Kingdoms can make extra money from optional Contracts. Though more on the Food mechanic in a moment or two.

Plus this second army can then stand in for your main force whilst it restocks its supplies of Food.

This will help you to gain control of your starting regions as quickly as possible. One of the best strategies is to get a second army early on. Trust me, your buddy Chris here has learnt this the hard way. You need to pick your battles well and know when to hold and when to expand. You can’t just steamroll your way across the world painting the map as you go. On the world map, you need to play a little more cautiously. I wouldn’t say they are a glass cannon, but they can struggle against some of their neighbouring nations. The Ogre Kingdoms are all about momentum they are fast, and they are devastating on the charge but the longer they stay in a fight the more they can struggle due to the lack of armour on almost all their units. However, whilst the Ogre Kingdoms are powerful in their own right they can and will struggle against any armies that have units armed with ‘anti-large’ or ‘anti-monster’ weapons and spells. Creative Assembly has really gone above and beyond as far as the production values of the Ogre Kingdoms are concerned. And even then that is something that is so minor and subjective it is hardly worth condemning the DLC out of hand. Though I address that later in the review. I do feel that performatively there are a few issues. The entire faction is brimming with personality that really helps them to feel unique. The writing of them and the rest of the Ogres adds a great level of flavour that is currently missing from the main title. This is a shame as what we see of them in that cutscene and throughout is great. Of course, they are ever-present throughout the game itself but aren’t in any other cutscenes till the very final one. However, it is the most we see of either leader for the majority of the story They do not appear again until the very end of the game. Just like in the base game this opening sequence is decently written and well animated.

It is not clear what type of wine goes with god meat but hey-ho.

It is also available on Xbox PC Games Pass. Total War: Warhammer III Ogre Kingdoms is available now on PC via STEAM, Microsoft Store, and Epic Games Store for £9.99 or your local equivalent. So without further ado, let’s get to the review! Yep, not even the Ogres can escape being dragged into that mess. However, the DLC isn’t without issues, particularly with regards to how it explains its mechanics and how well (or not) said mechanics gel with the Realms Of Chaos campaign. And features some cool gameplay twists, some well-designed characters, and great voice acting. And at long last, they are here! Like most elements of the title itself, the Faction is great fun to play. The inclusion of the Ogre Kingdoms has been one that the fans of Total War: Warhammer have been looking forwards to since the first game. Perfect for those of us who are apprehensive of pre-ordering games these days.

Initially available as a pre-order inventive you can now purchase the DLC yourself. Ogre Kingdoms (as the name suggests) brings the Ogres to the Total War: Warhammer world as a fully-fledged faction. Chomping on PC and into Total War: Warhammer III comes the Ogre Kingdoms, the title’s first DLC.
