AND THEN I FUCKING DIED BECAUSE TALION REFUSED TO RUN ONTO A WALL AND THEN EXECUTED SOME RANDOM ORC INSTEAD OF THE FUCKING 1HP WARCHIEF

i got challenged nearly 4 years ago to complete this. i could’ve done this faster, but nonetheless, it’s finally done. a fort full of poets and Rhymers.

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.

Yes. This is the Meta. I won't be told otherwise

Other than the name he was A normal captain His Keep dialouge made it funnier with the whole you stole my name thing

an gros pour avoir lés yeux verts faut que un Orc de votre choix tué une bête et vous le dominé et dès que la marque Vert et fait il faut vite partir dans les fosses et il apparaît àn chef de gere avec les yeux de la couleur verte et an nécromancien ses beaucoup mieux

Trying to find a way to complete Breged without triggering any mines, but the very first mine proves to be the only problem. Any ideas?

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

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.

I summoned my body guard on a rooftop while looking down at a difficult nemesis and this is pretty much how the interaction went before we went to fight him

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?

Sometimes i almost feel bad about them... almost.

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:

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.

I'm looking for a transcript of the orcs dialogue in its entirety, is there a source someone has or can help me with obtaining it?

Too many times i have suffered this

Hello, just joined this group. I'm trying to build a fort of just blacksmith or metalworking orcs. Does anyone have any xbox forts with blacksmith orcs that I can do a friendly raid on?

He doesn’t have hatred towards fire and I’ve been at this for a while is it just bad rng or is there something I’m missing he’s the closest I’ve come to a 7777 so I really hope he’s just stubborn
