re: Shadow of War: who here is planning on getting it in two days?

Each area has fortress. You can take the fortress with your dominated captain and if you win you control the city.

At that point all of the orcs within the fortress are yours.

Later in the game, the dark forces lay siege to the captured fortresses over and over again. If you die during a siege, they retake the fortress and you need to take it back.

It is fun but the Act IV Shadow War goes on for too long with 20 sieges.

I've done 13 and I am worn out. The last Siege was insane with enemy captains all the hell over the place. I evidently had a pile of mortal poison captains and nearly lost half my captains to spiders.
