    Another shadow strike upgrade you should get is the shadow pull(I think that’s what it’s called). What I do with it is I get up on a tower or something high and pull the captain up to isolate him from the grunts, making him easier to kill.

    The game is fantastic. Doesn´t feel like the microtransactions have a big impact on gameplay at all now. Also be sure to behead nasty captains. Had one bugger who got shamed, returned as the ´Unashamed´. Then proceeded to lose his arms etc. but still defied death 4 times. 10/10

      It's true, the more I plaed the more weird stuff I encountered. My favourite was this one orc that got cleaved in half, beheaded and returned as 'The Machine' with pretty much all immunities. Took a long time but instantly made him overlord.

    • @SinerAthin
      @SinerAthin 6 років тому +1

      Yeah, the micros transaction system is definitely not necessary. You can play through the game at a completely normal pace.
      The main downside tho is that loot boxes & microtransactions feel very artificial. Getting Orcs from lootboxes really breaks the immersion.
      It does not do the game any favors.

      Shamed a cap'n orc Mug , became ''Unashamed'' and legendary , was the only orc I saw as a legendary one (besides overlord) recruited him , made him my bodyguard , he betrayed me after a while , managed to kill me (was a scrub) , killed the overlord , became overlord , when I tried to capture the fort , he shot me once and like 80% percent of my health was gone plus curse damage , he never misses and no last chances , I still love this game

    Just thought I'd point out that the fighting pits are not the best way to level your orcs up. You have no control over the fight, and sometimes you get a epic or legendary that is a few levels ahead of whatever the set level is for the particular challenge level. Not to mention, I've seen guys 10 levels stronger who lost just because they got matched against a guy who hated fire. Instead, send your weak orc on an ambush against a high leveled orc, then interfere and kill the orc for them. I did this for one of my guys who was about level 30 against a level 60 and he gained 20 levels afterwords.

    I have a seemly almost indestructible fortress
    every one of my warchiefs have possessive master "becomes enraged when a body guard is attacked"
    every captain has bloodlust "enraged when another orc is enraged around them "this also goes for your own enraged allies"
    and it took a while but i spent like 300 hours or so just farming orcs in every area to get a nurnen force that has great strength, and fire/poison/curse master.
    my nurnen army consists of half being slayers and the other half being beserkers
    and every captain slot is taken by my army so all of nurnen is conquered :D
    now i should say how many captains is on every warchief.
    Warchief A: has 5 body guards
    Warchief B: has 5 body guards
    Warchief C: has 2 body guards
    Warchief D: has 2 body guards
    then the inner circle warchiefs
    Warchief E: has 1 body guard
    Warchief F: has 1 body guard
    Overlord: has 3 body guards
    "overlord is also possessive master btw"
    the body guards that the overlord has are played a bit differently, one is a tank beserker. thickskin, but has mighty defenders. 2nd one is a great strength epic rage. so he can stay enraged and scare the living shit out of the opponent. and the 3rd one is a necromancer beserker that can raise the dead and the fallen captains.
    my overlord has thickskin and great strength
    one more thing, picture you're fighting my fortress capturing the A point. then one of my captains are attacked. the warchief will become enraged therefore signaling all of the bloodlust on the other 5 captains and then they all become enraged. its the same thing for capture point B aswell. you just gotta hope one of my body guards dont get hit, or else its gonna set off a chain reaction and rest in peace your captains and you
    i know nobody cares but i just like expressing how tough my fortress is

      I'm absolutely LOVING nemesis difficulty. I do still think the game is relatively easy, so I hope that Monolith'll eventually develop a New game+ difficulty or just a higher difficulty in general. Maybe add options so you can disable branding orcs (of course you can choose to not brand orcs right now, but i feel like there's there a difference) and other options like that.

  • @ijustworkhere1008
    @ijustworkhere1008 5 років тому +5

    Important tip for assaulting / defending fortresses:
    If you find yourself faced with an enemy who is either the commander or tank class, either recruit them or shame them, do NOT try to kill them. Tanks have a second wind after being defeated, which can make killing them a real pain when you're trying to go for gold rating on online forts. Meanwhile commanders have a class ability that means that if they die, their nearby allies become enraged, making it very easy to get overwhelmed if the commander was in a big crowd when he died

    The best thing about the shadow wars is recruiting enemy captains, warchiefs, and their bodyguards since they are usually around the same level as you are which would be 50+ by that point. They usually have some kind of perk like they don't give up or they aren't damaged by fire, arrows, frost, or poison

  • @Xel562
    @Xel562 6 років тому +1

    1- Worms are always scared of you, meaning they are always prone and can be stealth dominated instantly. No need to do a regular drain.
    2- Captains can't level higher than Talion, the white gems are sort of useless in the ring slot and green gems have a much better value (a dead orc is a useless orc).
    3- It's faster to level captains in Nemesis missions than the fight pits, especially if the orc is lower level than the one he is fighting. (ok this was still about point 2 but wtv :P)
    4- Don't dismantle legendary gear unless you have the same piece with better bonuses (not levels, BONUSES) since you can level them up to level 60
    5- Remember that only the main follower of a mission will gain levels, reinforcements will not gain any unless they kill another captain.
    6- Bodyguards assigned to warchiefs are limited. The warchiefs online will only have two bodyguards so don't bother putting more on each warchiefs.
    7- More important skill upgrades to get are the elementals upgrades to have better tools against captain weaknesses and Brutal Execution's Ceaseless Might (DOUBLE YOUR MIGHT!)

    Hey guys and gals, I have some tips. To have you captains raise up by a substantial amount of levels, instead of having them grind in the fight pit, command them to attack other captains that are higher levels.
    A level 36 vs a level 51 will give your captain a level boost like no other. In one fight (that you could just intervene and kill the enemy captain) has given me level increases that are like by 16 levels!
    Also if you have fit pits available, win until you get into the champions fight pit (level 3 fight pit) and have your weak captains fight a champion and die by their hands and then turn them (assuming you’re at their level). If you’re not at their level to turn them but you like their traits? Shame them and then turn them. As you level up make sure to level them up as well Incase they gained a bad trait due to shaming.
    GET LEVEL 5 WEALTH GEM ON RING. Brings up captains by 5 levels when recruiting. This makes fighting ambushes easier and also siege missions because those captains will be 5 levels above their former allies.
    Lastly, this is a minor one. If you prefer to have your might built up Incase you need it. Get the upgrade (I can’t remember the name just now) that builds might when you brutalize enemy’s. This builds up might a little above half way (1/3 if you have the might upgrade that increases how much might you can build up) with just 1 orc!

    while doing online vendettas, make sure to take down all available captains in the area and all of those wealthy orcs in sight. killing them from the roof with a bow doesn't take much time and all the loot will be collected automatically when the vendetta is completed.

    Observing duels between red enemy orc gives XP. Shaming gives XP. Gravewalker/brutal level up orcs really fast. Friendly orcs killing enemy captains give you XP. Grinding for white gems is easier and faster when riding caragor and using pounce/stealth kills. Reaching level 80 Talion is fast using above tips.

  • @Dankonen
    @Dankonen 6 років тому

    Fighting pits are actually highly ineffective. They sometimes die. The most effective way is to send them into a fight they can't possibly win (30 level higher captain) and then kill the captain for them. They will jump 20 or 25 levels quickly. You also have the possibility to dominate the threatened captain or make him run to use this trick again. Just send them up against each other if you have to. As long as you dominate him fast enough to run they should both be fine.

    So I got a badass olog hai from a loot chest that I grinded for. Got him to level 31 by killing a fellow captain.

    • @Griffintheawesome
      @Griffintheawesome 6 років тому +9

      Yes, break his mind over and over again and eventually his iron will will be gone. Basically create Reek from Game of Thrones. Then send him on missions and make sure he succeeds by intervening, then when he's tough enough send him to the fight pits to level him up more. He may lose his mind in the process, but he will be back under your control. Man playing this game makes me evil.

    Tips would be EXTREMELY APPRECIATED.

      In the quest menu there are tabs for story characters where you complete their story missions
      Sometimes there's a prerequisite like taking over all the towers in an area etc but nothing heavy like taking out an entire army
      That's mostly there to make things easier for you if you want to kill or dominate captains and war chiefs when you're invading

    • @miked9878
      @miked9878 6 років тому

      Look for Story quests on your map. You can't kill every orc captain on the map because every time a mission is completed, you die, or you advance time, new captains show up. Killing the entire army of your first couple fortresses is not the goal. Do story missions for the first act.

    Savages are the best units for recruitment missions. They literally stomp any other unit. I'm talking about the gang units of course.
    I think slayers are the best for 1v1's at the pit, followed by marksmen. Any unit that has a stun or a 3 hit ability is OP if they have fire or poison.
    Although the Olog bosses are fantastic (the ones with a fire breathing weapons are the best) ranged bosses shit on them 7/10 times
