// SUMMARY

UA: The Great Hunger: Trade Routes provide +3 Gold and +1 Food. Triple plunder from Cities and Barbarian camps.

UU: Irongut: replaces Knight. Slower, but stronger, and heals slightly with every kill.

UB: Maw Pit: replaces Temple. +1 Food, +5% Food, +1 Faith. +1 Food from Sheep and Cattle. Costs no maintenance.


// DISCUSSION

The Ogres are all about food and gold. The Maw Pit gives a tremendous boost to Food, especially if you have many animal resources nearby, and saves on gold, but will hamper your ability to generate Faith. If you can manage happiness, you should be able to grow tall, strong cities, and direct their energies to whatever victory condition you please.

Greasus Goldtooth is known for his understanding of the importance of trade, and so the Ogre UA reflects this; you should pursue trade routes aggressively and produce lots of units in the early game to raid Barbarian Camps for your bonus plunder. Transitioning from there to an attack on a neighbour is trivial, so a Domination victory is a clear possibility, but lots of gold and powerful cities can be turned to any victory condition you wish.

A good way to launch your push for Domination is to store up happiness before the Medieval era, when you spam Ironguts and launch your attack, aiming to cripple a couple of neighbours or rivals: compared to the Knight it replaces, the Irongut's extra strength, ability to heal after each attack and the fact that it neither costs Horses nor suffers the drawbacks of mounted troops make it a really dangerous unit.

As an AI, Greasus is a sneak and a bully. He loves to expand, grow and hoard gold, and can actually be quite cooperative: he's easily bribed into attacking others, quite fair in trade and reasonably easy to befriend. However, he has low loyalty and is quick to declare war if you give him an excuse. He loves to bully City-States.
