Start Here
Learn the draft-position-fight rhythm first, then inspect formations, unit roles, and Totem evidence without crossing build labels.
Units Database
Compare known roles and source labels. Assassin, Troll, Warg Raider, and Juggernaut are the four official 1.0 additions; unrevealed final values stay blank.

Totem Arsenal
Five new Totems are 1.0 confirmed. Demo notes say Totems stack and some stack in special tooltip-described ways; exact formulas and unrevealed names are not claimed.

Command beyond the wall
The reset layer is where stalled runs become long-term decisions. Build labels remain visible because demo behavior and announced 1.0 scope are not interchangeable.

Chieftains & Bloodlines
Nine bloodlines are confirmed. Chieftains enter the battlefield as units, carry a signature ability activated with a right-click, and can trigger a martyrdom passive when sacrificed. Bloodline names remain unannounced.

Popular Questions
These answers are visible on the page and mirror the FAQ structured data exactly.
Is Orc Incremental 1.0 live?
Yes. Orc Incremental released on Steam for Windows on September 8, 2026. The latest official patch checked on September 13 is v1.0.4.
Will my demo save transfer to the full game?
Your demo save is compatible with the full game, requires no special transfer steps, survives a demo uninstall, and is backed up by Steam Cloud according to the official notice.
What do the wiki data labels mean?
Demo Verified marks checked demo behavior; 1.0 Confirmed marks officially announced release content; Live Verified is reserved for facts checked against the released build.
Are formulas and tier claims final?
No. Demo formulas, special Totem stacking notes, and historical balance are evidence for their labeled builds, not final 1.0 balance claims or a current tier list.
