I've never heard players propagandizing the Orcs, but I like it.
I'm not sure I would recommend that king order strategy. The standard is Enamor on T1, maybe customize on T1 for Influence, send 3 emissaries to your city. If you do not have a major city in your capital region, probably best to increase Influence turn 1, enamor turn 2 when your patrolling groups will have found some PC;s that you move your nobles to, to then act in a friendly region on turn 3.
That may sound a little like chess, where the first move is moving the king's (or maybe queen's) pawn out two, but then there are thousands of possibilities over the next few turns.
Obviously in Alamaze, there is a lot more going on than in a two player chess game, but a chess player probably gets to understanding Alamaze faster.
There are lots of strategies, and generally pick a kingdom which matches your style. If you want to crush, you pick a military kingdom like the Red Dragons or Tyrant, and you don't want to delay. The wizard kingdoms, you kind of hope those kingdoms don't mess with you. The finesse kingdoms are powerful but difficult.
Then you have the regions to consider. Our Champion of Alamaze often picks regions others think are the least desirable.
