The Maneaters is possibly the most sandbox faction of Total War. This faction's mechanics allow you to do pretty much anything, face against anyone that you want to fight against without caring about money or meat, or frankly, anything. The Maneaters is also probably the easiest faction to confederate with other Ogres Legendary Lord, as you can easily teleport Golgfag's army around the world when taking a contract then beat up the respective Legendary Lords to confederate them.

Note that despite Mercenary Contracts are supposed to have no diplomatic impacts, if you sign peace after finishing a contract, you will still get diplomatic condemn of "Past treaties with".

Trivia[]

  • The leaders of the two armies that the Maneaters can fight on turn 1 - Nathian von Grooge and Codius Bondamere - are named after Youtubers The Great Book of Grudges and Cody Bonds. The Butcher hero they start with - Oko Ironbelly - is named after Youtuber Okoii.
  • In the lore, Golgfag works for everyone but Bretonnia. This is not displayed in the game, as The Maneaters can take contracts from Bretonnia.
