First Fortress
How do I assault it? The quest says "complete more quests to continue", but this is the only story quest available right now.

I'm basically stuck.

If you have no Quests then you need more warchiefs. I think you need around 4 before it lets you assult

I have 5 captains, and currently I have 2 warchiefs in the warchief slots.

yes you need more captains and warchief to control before you can take over. I went through most of them and the quest was accessible.

But I can't have more than 2 warchiefs...

Well there's a mission in the zone in maybe the center that starts the fortress assault. Before you start you need to do preparation. Firstly on the siege screen, go to the army screen and look on the left and it will say diege upgrades and the button to press to get there. Once you're on that screen there's boxes on the left and right. You put the allied orcs you have in the region in the boxes on the left and then buy upgrades. The upgrades are 3 options next to each orc, and you can only have one at a time per orc. On the right there are the warlords with their upgrades. If you kill a warlord, his upgrade is disabled so it's best to take out a few warlords before the assault.

Then you go to that mission in the center and start it. It will take you to the siege upgrade screen one last time in case you didn't set it up prior. You then go into the mission and you and the orcs charge the fortress. In the fortresss there are victory points. You have to stand in the victory points until you can capture it. The icon over the victory point next to you will change to tell you a button to press. Press that and the point is taken. Once all the points are taken you go into the throne room and have basically a boss fight with the overlord.

During the bossfight there's level hazards. Like a wall of poison or curse will shoot up from barious spots. They can hurt you, but they can also hurt the orc enemies. Once the overlord is beat, the fort is yours.

I have 4 assault leaders with all upgrades purchased, and I have both warchiefs dominated. The problem is I can't even start the assault because it says I need to complete more quests, but I have already completed all quests up to this point.

Ok, first fortress. Act 2? You need to do a mission where you recruit Bruz. Then you need to do some tutorial missions about how the nemesis system works. Then you can attack the first fort. Also the first fort you can take is in Nirniun, or however it's spelled.

I know, I litterally completed everything up to this point, but it won't let me start the assault.

Every mission? Even the one where Bruz tells you to have a allied orc kill a hostile orc? That's not a story mission, though I think it still needs to complete.

Yes, I have done lots of those.
