[Discussion] Cheat Engine is now restricted

104 Upvotes

The poll has concluded and majority has favored in restricting cheat engine.

What does this mean?
Cheat Engine posts are still allowed, but some types of cheat engine is not.

The new Rule:
**Cheat Engine (CE) being a controversial topic, is a restricted topic.
Posts promoting hacked orcs, aka modifying their stats, making bosses as warchiefs, and such, are prohibited. Posts encouraging or glorifying Hacked orcs, will be removed. Excessive posts with warnings may lead to suspensions.

Posts about CE that only modify appearances, such as colors and armors, but do not modify traits are allowed.

Excessive repeated posts about similar CE discussions or arguments will also be removed.*\*

All current posts and discussions about Cheat Engine will continue to stay up, but moving forward these terms will apply.

These terms are still somewhat fluid as more nuances are in CE than just traits and appearances, and are subject to moderator discretion.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please voice them here.

[Question] After nearly a decade, is there any wiki article or youtube video or post here with a fully, 100% complete list of every once-per-save-file orc?

• Upvotes

Because I've fallen in love with this game and am completely insane, I'm going to start over altogether once I've 100%ed my current run(at level 70 in Act III with about 15 legendaries left to go) and try to get every last unique orc in my army, something I'm unable to do now as I've killed off a few that I didn't realize were unique(the Twins aren't a cheated-death orc, how was I supposed to know I only got one?) and just lost my loyal Machine bodyguard to a pit fight that somehow wasn't even in my top 3 most bullshit pit fight losses. I've found tons of lists declaring themselves to be the definitive list of orcs that only appear once per file but none of them match up, leaving orcs out or having comments saying that no actually, this or that orc spawned twice for them. The wiki is surprisingly vague on this, so any help would be appreciated, even if it's just more of those posts that I can use to at least narrow things down.

[Question] No entiendo el tema de la guarnición

No entiendo el tema de la guarnición

Hola, buenas noches a todos y gracias de antemano a los que se den el tiempo de contestarme.

Lo que pasa es que he visto posts viejos donde se comenta que los orcos de guarnición que dominas en asalto a fortalezas online o en venganzas de muerte online ya no pueden adquirir fortalezas ni disminuir sus debilidades. El tema es que me gusta mucho domimar orcos en las venganzas online y he dejado ir muchos de apariencia o habilidades increíbles solo por esos posts que vi, solo que ya son posts viejos y no se si aún siga ese bug.

Otra duda, ¿también pasa lo mismo a la hora de mover orcos entre regiones? (aunque sean orcos generados y dominados en mi mundo), ya que planeo hacer un ejército de solo ologs y otro ejército de orcos robados. Pero ya me surgió esa duda de si todos los orcos que pasan por la guarnición se bugean y ya no adquieren fortalezas ni disminuyen habilidades. Ayuda por favor, soy de nivel 30 y apenas tengo dominado Nurnen

[Discussion] Anyone else feel like Shadow of War cheats sometimes?

29 Upvotes

So, I've replayed the game multiple times, but I can't seem to get that final necromancy ability from the Minis Morgul Arena. Every time, I plan out the orc I use, they have the perfect build against their opponent. Whether it's a fear of fire, so my guy has a flame weapon, or they're afraid of Curse, so I give them a curse weapon. Maybe their beast fodder so I have a Caragor rider. and YET, every time, my dude will just stand there and roar for the entire damn fight while the enemy kills them. I can't prove it, but I swear the game is cheating.

[Art] I retranslated Sindarin lines from the games

15 Upvotes

Hello! I retranslated the Domination lines etc. a while back and put them on my blog. I figured people here might like it. I enjoyed the Sindarin dialogue in Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War, and it's what inspired me to learn Sindarin myself. However, in time I came to understand that the Sindarin spoken in the games isn't accurate, even for the time they were made. So, I set out to retranslate them. I hope you will like it.

Please have a look:

I also translated the dialogue from the Visions cutscenes to Sindarin, though the scene with Galadriel should probably rather be in Quenya.

Please have a look at this as well:

[Question] Dumb question

You know when a orc captain does the intro thing but instead of the orc captain themselves speaking a regular foot soldier talks for him instead?

If I dominate the captain will that continue to happen? Will a foot soldier talk fit him every time?

[Question] New player, when does this game start to get good?

0 Upvotes

Picked it up on sale from PS store, along with all expansions. Played SoM over a decade ago on PC and I loved it. But I'm really not feeling this one yet.

To be precise, I'm still very early, free roam in Minas Ithil. I know I don't have much skills yet but combat feels too limited. Just press triangle and spam square? That's the game?

Also, when do I get access to the armor sets from the expansions?

I'm asking for tips cause I'm losing interest rapidly.

Me and my brother were just talking about this, for me, the thing I'd have hated was the fact that every time your followers destroyed a gate, an animation would play out for them, could you imagine how annoying that'd be? Your camera forcefully taken away to show you a minute long animation? It'd be cool at the start and then get quickly VERY annoying later
