Plan your next There Are No Orcs session
Our independent guide breaks down the documented systems of There Are No Orcs, offering observations that let you compare options without promising hidden rewards. By focusing on factions, building synergies, commanders, terrains and replay loops, you can refine your approach and discover fresh tactics each session.
01 / THE GUIDE
Faction Comparison
Run a short test with each faction using the same basic building layout. Note differences in gold output and unit types, then decide which aligns with your preferred tempo.
- Test each faction early to see how building outputs differ.
- Observe which synergy bonuses appear most often for a given faction.
02 / THE GUIDE
Synergy Mapping
Draw a grid on paper and mark where each building type provides a bonus when adjacent. Visualizing these connections can reveal optimal cluster shapes before you place them in‑game.
- Group similar buildings to maximize synergy effects.
- Place a building next to another type and watch the output change.
03 / THE GUIDE
Commander Skill Trial
Select two commanders with contrasting active skills. Run a single battle with each, recording how the skill influences unit flow. Compare results to identify which skill fits your strategy.
- Read commander skill descriptions before starting a run.
- Choose a commander whose exclusive buildings complement your preferred tactical style.
04 / THE GUIDE
Terrain Impact Review
Play identical builds on two different terrains. Observe any visual or performance changes, then decide if a terrain’s aesthetic influences your enjoyment enough to prioritize it.
- Try the same build on different terrains to notice visual differences.
- Attempt Chaos difficulty after you are comfortable with regular runs.
05 / THE GUIDE
Chaos Difficulty Warm‑up
After mastering a few regular runs, attempt Chaos difficulty with a familiar build. Track any unexpected number spikes and adjust your layout to accommodate the heightened challenge.
- Record successful building layouts to reuse or modify later.
- Visit the Discord link for community‑shared strategies and update announcements.
