    Hopefully if monolith makes a third middle earth game they'll add goblins. Also an ability where you're able to actually play as an orc, uruk, or olog would be cool either that or a skin to change the character to an orc would be nice.

    interesting ideas. i've always thougth of this idea of orc captains coming to meet you and joining up with you on there own. i like this idea of orcs follow strength which they tend to do, so i always liked that idea that any orc from any tribe may take interest in ya. from either doing something that they like or though the amount of bodies you leave behind. once you meet them, you do a mission or something they desire so they know joining you seem liked the right choice.
    it makes things rather interesting if actions in other regions crossed over with ya to others if this was made. i don't know how doable this idea is because i know coding can be painful but it be neat if it was a thing.

    If I may add:
    DLC as Talion in his fight as a Nazgûl against the Gondorians.
    Ability to choose events. FE sent someone not only to “kill” Captain but to choose if it will be duel, ambush or raid.
    Wargs - we need thoose fluffy boggers.
    Non-orc enemies. - Let us fight Easterlings or other Dark Lords minions.
    Ents - add ents to nurnen, being able to summon them and have them as captains in Nurnen.
    Drake riders - make some Captains able to ride drakes.
    Add Goblins and Uruk-hai to the enemy rooster - Goblin grunts being faster runners and climbers, while uruk-has more tactical and stronger.
    Tactical battles - be able to go into “bird’s prespective” and command your captains to move in certain way, create a shieldwall, concentrate on target etc.

      @@Weeklythrower58 Well my black speach might be a bit rusty, but the “Hai” means “war” or “War-bred”
      Uruk stands for Orc and Olog for Troll.
      That is the difference between the Army of Iron Pass and Mordor. - Saruman uses Uruk-Hai orcs - war bred, smarter, stronger and more agressive. In Mordor you have Uruks, Goblins and other species.
      Olog-hai are the trolls that were enhanced by magic to survive sunlight (something we have seen in LoTR and Hobbit trilogy).
      What I meant is that I would like to see more variety of orcs. In the game we have only ever seen Uruks and Olog-Hai.

    More tribe ideas : Gatherer tribe: this tribe is all around like the architect from blade of glaiadrial flic where they provide the resources for all of Mordor. But, not like the machine tribe, they protect nature and often tell the player all about it. They are always burdened and they will also have that in their speeches. Their tribe trait could be strangling the player and orcs with a vine/plant. You would have to press multiple buttons as they appear on your screen and every mess up takes more damage. Their clothes would by wood and plant like. The fortress buff could be making lumber fall down. The look of the fortress would be overgrown and covered in vines and leaves. The buff on the region be that archer orcs are more powerful. Their execution would be them beating the player and other orcs with rocks. The execution is them stabbing the orc with a dagger, punching them in the head grabbing the dagger and grabbing their and stabbing them the throat. They kill the player with a stab to the chest punches to the head and when Tallion is on is back the orc stabs him in the chest then gets up.

    The Gundabad and Morgoth orcs are a great idea. The Gundabad could have been brought in to humble you in the first act at the Fall of Minas Ithil, and you would be itching to fight them again down the line. The Morgothi orcs could use armor similar to waht we saw in the Bright Lord DLC and also have a focus on impressive uruk beards. Would love to see what they would have come up with.
    I think one thing you're missing for an improvements for sieges is some diversity. Maybe a few are what we experience, but have some other layouts for new challenges. Like you have to do mini sieges for outposts that will counterattack you and route your army if you don't. And if they added the Black Gate, you have to run two sieges at the same time to take both towers. Maybe throw in some more prep and capture siege weapons. Like say the fortress in Gorgoroth are heavily armored no matter what, so you have to complete a randomized quest to empower a siege weapon. Like make a little grond, enslave some orcs to build armor for a siege graug. Something to make the initial stage different. Then maybe make Minis Morgul more impressive by having to do multiple sieges for each ring. Each a lesson from the last. And veteran Gundabad orcs in your way to provide a real challenge.
    Then after all this for endgame scenarios, you get more unique looking Barad Dur vatiants of the tribes that overthrow your leaders, besiege your fortresses, and engage in some open warfare like you suggested. Sort of like Sauron is really taking you seriously by throwing the best at you. Maybe add a few Nazgul encounters. I feel they could have made a cool equipment dlc that fleshes out the last of the nazgul and give them more unique appearances for you to wear. Or at least a classic ringwraith option.

    To add to your expansion on Orc promotion, and just interacting with them in general, something I've always wished i could do is grant Captains "leave" What I mean by that is all those miscellaneous missions Uruks could go on in the games to gain power (holding feasts, undergoing trials by ordeal, beast hunting, maybe others I'm forgetting but i think you get the idea), the player could command them to undergo these specific missions to increase in power.
    Maybe it could even be more specific based on class traits or titles, to let the Captains' personality shine through,
    some examples would be for beast hunts and trials.
    Normally picking the options to send the Captain on a hunt or trial, which beast it is would be randomized, but if the Captain holds the title of Graug Slayer, he will always hunt Graugs or face them in trial by ordeal, another example would be the Ghul Hunter Uruk; same rules as Graug Slayer, but with Ghuls.
    Ghul Lovers would actually invert that somewhat, in that they're hunts and trials would be randomized, but would never be against Ghuls
    How I envision that is when your Captain is kneeling before you after being dominated, among the usual options you would have a new one, titled "leave" or something similar, maybe someone else would have an idea for that.
    When pressed, all options (Shun, Command, Retreat, Stay and Fight For Me) will be replaced by various activity commands (Such as Feast, Trial By Ordeal, Beast Hunt, Recruit Followers)
    What do you guys think?

    Something I would’ve liked that was kinda on the multi-class point is a orc’s tribe effecting their potential traits like a Marauder has higher chance of gain a gang or bodyguard showing off their wealth and influence another example would be a Feral can gain beast master or tracker traits even if they aren’t those classes this would give the tribes a greater identity and can lead to some interesting combinations.
    Another thing I would’ve liked is the regular orcs armor and design changing depending on the overlord and warchiefs in the area it would’ve been a nice touch but considering the time and effort it would’ve taken to make all of those designs it’s a less thing I’d want.

    I would have loved a creative mode that is offline, where you could build your own uruks and ologs with adjustable restrictions .
    Just having the creation would make it easier to build captains in the normal mode, because it would be easier to remember and plan.
    They could even let you copy one from the normal game to modify in the creative mode.
    You could test yourself against god-like orcs.
    Honestly they could have made a "creative league" where you create orcs and pit them against other created orcs made by others or yourself.

    If they had fleshed out the gear types, like say more akin to Borderlands level of randomized gears, I feel SoW would be raised to a masterful level of replayability & overall awesomeness.
    The in place gear system is more than adequate tho - certainly above average & serves the game very well.
    But if there was a lot more rarity types / levels & possible combinations, and even more-different weapon types, I feel this would seriously aid in furthering the games depth.
    Otherwise, definitely even more types / variations of orc types / tribes would be sooo great - as well as even furthered variations of artstyle & unique traits. Just the usual area where "more meat / more variation" is all that is needed to vastly improve the experience.
    Same with more forts / regions, of course.
    Agreed on the personality & more showing up for our captains. Blood brothers will show up when are enemies as is, so why not when recruited for us?
    I do feel also that a bit more difficulty / assault on one's own captains / forts would be welcome, for those seeking a much more 'random' or intense experience. In my playing, it seemed like losing my captains / forts was really just up to if I chose to move things that way, rather than the game mechanics / events occuring upon me. This would go great with your thought of controlling the outposts around the map!
    Keeping the fort assaults tied into a mission having to be started really rips away a "living / moving world" aspect, thus taking away from the potential of random-unique storytelling for each players experience.
    If a nemesis orc who a player already has rappaport with set out to build forces / team with other captains, then took your fortress / at least tried to assault it, kill your captains, infiltrated with their own spies,etc... this would be MASSIVE aspect for the experience had & stories created within the game world. Really a shame this wasnt crafted & implemented.
    (and i am not on an easy difficult btw)
    I love the vastly different environments we get to go to in each region, and the weather system/effects in some really liven it all up... However, as with everything else, would've been cool to see a couple more forts / regions. A region with 2 forts in it would've been neat, a small change to spice it up. Perhaps 2 overlords of them are fighting across this region, offering many different missions & environmental aspects, being more war torn on a more calculated scale.
    A region of jungle-Swampy area, more lush green / foresty... Theres just so much potential & the foundations in place are fantastic ... Just needed to keep growing the seeds!!
    Seriously if they had fleshed out / added more meat/variation alone, this game would be "masterpiece" level. More/better mechanics as well definitely, but could even pass those up with whats already presented if the other points were met.
    The story/lore/missions in already are great, and the gameplay mechanics are mostly all awesome... Just needed increased variations & more meat on the rock-solid bone/foundation, was needed to elevate it to its maximum potential / masterpiece levels. Expanded variablity = further replayability...
    (I've also never played this game during its "loot box" era, so dont have that to put in my viewings)
