It looks like you won't be able to control massive amounts of minions like Overlord and it looks like Mordor is about infiltrating into the organization similar to a double agent kind of thing.
But I don't know. It might be but it doesn't look it would be.
The AI is going to actually have a life of its own and go questing and ranking up. So if you do something that will cause someone to hold a vendetta then they could come back later in the game as a boss fight or a captain to destroy you for what you did.
And when you die everyone assumes you're dead. its not like coming back and replaying the same thing.
Really wonder that how will the story tie into all this.
Hope you can give basic commands to the controlled guys some basic stuff like follow and attack would be enough for me.
It would be pretty cool if you could attack a warchief with multiple warchiefs not just 1 but I guess I have to wait for the game to come out to see what options we get to create our army.

Im really excited for the "living AI". Although, now that you mention it I would love to know more about the Army building features! Seems like they are sticking to the lore pretty well also!
Yeah its gonna be hard to decide whether to kill a warchief for a rune or to dominate them to increase your army.
Seems like its going to require a lot of skill to take over a fortress. Vids show 20+ urukhai and 3-4 warchiefs onscreen if you attack head on and raise an alarm but the more challenging these fights are the more "rewarding" the victory is.

I feel like my first play through there is going to be a lot of army building. There is a lot of stuff to do it seems. This game is probably going to be a heck of a time consumer.
Unfortunetly in the vid I posted above (Ign) they said there is no ng+ but if you beat the game you can carry on and dominate more uruk do sidemissons unlock secrets...etc.
Really wonder how large is the whole hierarchy iirc in the vid they also say that if you get killed by a random enemy(non warchief) it's possible for him to become a warchief so it seems like the hierarchy is a never ending cycle.

That does suck but anything with free roam instantly has me hooked! lol This is one of those games that Im going to want to do everything. But yeah I really like what they did with "dying". They give promotions to the one that kills you...making them stronger and everyone just assumes you're dead. This really seems like its going to be a new breed in gaming. I was excited for War in the North but it didn't live up to expectations. This is a whole new ball game though.
Devs said the Dark Ranger skin is actually Talion's final form.
Which is a preorder skin if you order from Gamestop.
Since it's in game stuff and not exclusive I dont get the point.
As for the dlc ,same here I rarely buy any but for this game Im gonna get them.
Still its d1ckery how they do all these things just to rip people off.
