Shadow wars difficulty
Does shadow wars get crazy difficult toward the end or did people just exaggerate the difficulty? Im on the 3rd assault now and I haven't seen an assault score over 360 yet and no enemies have even made it past my first capture point

What difficulty are you playing on? If it's easy, then that explains everything. If it's Nemesis, than holy balls they did over-exaggerate it.

Haven't gotten to Shadow Wars myself, but I am curious.

Im on normal. Which i would assume would be somewhat of a challenge considering it is a post game type deal. However so far it hasn't been much of a challenge and all my forts are around 450 defense so they are far from perfect

Highest Attack Score was something around 500, but mostly you can Stop them before even breaching one Wall.

It's very likely because you're only playing on Normal. On Nemesis even with a fortress full of 50-60 leveled Orcs with Max upgrades when defending against a high tier assault they usually take a point or two before I manage to stop them. That's with using drakes and constantly dominating the enemy captains. Unfortunately I've never gotten close to losing all the defense points though.

Seems like the consensus is that it just isn't as hard as people made it out to be but I guess ill see how it wraps up when I get off of work tonight. I still don't have anyone in minis morgul so that could be a challenge depending on the recruits I find

You can win on normal difficulty without them breaching the walls and without needing any of your warchiefs in that matter. All you need is the enemy. Subdue them, let them kill each other and you are fine to go. Use the Dragon summon to take out the Graug ballistics of the enemy tho ASAP !

Normal is you're problem. You need to be on Nemesis mode to get any sort of challenge. Sadly this hasnt changed from the last game

You also nreed to remove all the combat prompts too for a decent challenge.
The Normal mode in this game is supposed to be dafault difficulty of the last game before you became to op by the end of SoM.
