Portraits

Ogres and Ogre Magi are the level 4 creatures of Stronghold. They are recruited from the Ogre Fort.

"Wielding great wooden clubs, ogres and ogre mages deal good damage and are very durable. Ogre magi can cast the Bloodlust spell on any allied troop, once per round." ^{RoE manual}

Special Ability: Spellcaster

Ogre Magi cast Bloodlust three times per battle at the advanced level.

Heroes with a specialty

• Vey the Battle Mage,
• Krellion the Barbarian and
• Boragus the Barbarian have ogres as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any ogres or ogre magi for each level attained after 4th level and gives them a speed bonus of 1.

Though hindered by their slow speed, Ogres and Ogre Magi have the highest attack and health of any 4th level unit in the game. However, their defense is still low. Like with most spellcasting creatures, the effect of applied Bloodlust does not depend on stack size. Thus, if you have a free slot, it can be beneficial to separate a couple ogre magi so they can enchant your main ogre stack, as well as any other melee stacks you have, without most of the ogres wasting turns.
