Allies Are One of Your Most Important Tools
Perhaps the biggest change with the Nemesis system, comes with the addition of allies. In Shadow of War the enemies you dominate have a much larger role, becoming Orc Chieftains in your ever-growing army. These characters are vitally important, as you’ll be deploying them in sieges and other battle, can assign them as your personal bodyguards.
Oftentimes allied Orc Chieftains may spring to your aid when you find yourself in trouble, and according to a WB representative, they’ll even remember actions you take to help them. If Talion saves one of his Chieftains from certain death, they’ll remember that and fight harder for one, but also won’t be afraid to leap into battle and take damage for you. Shadow of War puts a big emphasis on using your allies as Talion will be facing down the insurmountable hordes of Mordor, especially as you proceed into Siege Battles….
