Rivalries and Blood Brothers Extend the System Past Talion
The Nemesis System applies to much more than just Talion this time around, it’ll also work very much the same way for Orc Chieftains. Your units can form rivalries with enemy Cheiftains, gaining unique dialogue and a determination to kill one another. At the same time, they can also forge friendships so two Chieftains work better in battle together. It certainly adds another layer of detail and believeability to the game, and it’ll be interesting to see the implications of how these rivalries play out.
Apparently Chieftains can even be Blood Brothers, forming a strong bond that cements their abilities in battle. When asked about the Nemesis system a WB representative coyly said very interesting things can happen when you split up Blood Brothers and pit them against each other. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get any more details at this time, but it’s definitely interesting to consider.
