Thank Matpat for this.

In Splatoon, the Octarian army seems to primarily focus on targeting YOU when in combat, and not the turf as much. This game is about turf, and strategy, and allowing you to cover the entire area in your color for movement is a bad idea. Even the Octolings have a somewhat poor performance in combat, mostly jumping out to attack you instead of focusing on keeping you from getting away. They don't play with much strategy.

All Octarians except for the King himself are red. Red is the color of aggression, and moves away from using strategy over brute force. You the player are often in green, blue, or yellow. All calming, strategic colors.

In the final boss fight you're orange, and strategy isn't used as much as aggression.

Overall, the Octarian's choice to keep themselves overly red has subconsciously doomed their mission. This isn't a war after all, it's a turf war.
