Iron Will on just about every new Orc.
Ive seen 5 orcs all with iron will and ive shamed a couple of them quite a few times and they still arent losing them, this is kinda a problem

The patch notes (balance section) says that orcs should be less likely to gain iron will (on certain conditions) and that it should be easier to remove by shaming... I jumped of joy when I read it! (haven't tested it myself yet, I'm just updating the game, I was waiting for today to restart the campaign in the new difficulty!)

i know that, that was what the patch notes said but im having the opposite problem.

iron will is a lootbox mechanic they want you to buy orcs for Moneeeeey
99% of all orcs in my game has it and its like never goes away even after 20+ shames.

i made a post earlier where i discribed how i had to shame a captain with worse then death active from lvl 65 to 20~ish because he wouldnt loose the faking iron will sounds like u'r doing about the same

Funnest part of the Iron Will mechanic is when you have 6 of your best orcs all decide to pull a betrayal at once, which gives them Iron Will as well. That's a fun one. And yes, I've had 3 times 6 betrayals at onces, and 4 5 betrayals at once. Good times.

I love the Nemesis system and the betrayals, but it does get wholly ridiculous at times.

Are you trying to dominate the whole orc board or a good portion of it? I've seen a lot of ppl talking about it and it seems that if you go for something like that a rebellion is bound to happen.

So far I've decided to stick with Overlord + Warchiefs + 1 body guard/ea (always trying to stay outnumbered) and I've yet to see a rebellion on my ~50h.

Yeah, the Reb thing was added in 1.7. I think its a good idea, as it dose get less interesting if you have branded every orc. lol

I had 2 legendaries that i dominated, betray on the same mission. The mission got ambushed by bloodbrother, turned out mission objective and that bodyguard of mine, where also bloodbrothers. I wanted to clear the mission and assign him for the siege defence. Ofcourse i try to dominate all i can, for fighting pits and bodyguards for sieges.

It just ends up being a waste of time to keep shaming the same orc over and over. Just kill him, get the loot/XP, and move on. If you want Epic Captains, then buy Silver crates. If you want Legendaries, then do mission that give you Spoils of War. I generally get two Legends per spoils crate. No real money required.

I have over 100 orcs to deploy. I'm Level 53 and in Act 4. At this point, it's better to just kill everything and get the look and experience. It's actually challenging for me (on Nemesis difficulty) now that I'm facing Captains that are Level 57+

Also, if you are trying to level up your character, then it's best to leave numerous spots free. This creates more Nemesis missions (not the friendly kill Caragors/Graugs which don't reward XP), between friendly and enemy Captains = XP.
