What is your favorite tribe and why?

[Caaros]

Personally, I'm a fan of the Warmonger tribe. In general, both their armor and fortress design looks fantastic. I also like their over-all "Get ♥♥♥♥ done" attitude towards fighting and warfare. Not to mention that many of may favorite followers just happened to be warmongers.

So, what is your favorite tribe and why?

I'm torn between the Mystic or Machine Tribe.

I love the Mystic Tribe for firstly it's near distinctive appearance and design that sports so closely to a few of the occult dark-ages themes, especially Lovecraftian with the use of a "Blade of Rite" that allows them to do a few tricks.


And the Machine is primarily because it's one of Tolkein's types of mottos he tried to talk on through Middle-Earth, believing that Industry, especially the coming age of Modern Industry would be a dooming end for the nature of the world and tried to really distinct it as a type of doom that could be avoided, definitely interesting.

The mystic tribe is cool and all, but I could never put one as the Overlord of a region. Their architecture just looks completely ridiculous to me.

I like the Machine tribe with the Terror tribe being a close second.

Marauder forts look crazy glorious, all white and gold, befitting the Bright Lord.

Actually i was never really looking for a tribe. How they are presented? I really don't know how i search for them.
Do they matter somehow ? :/
For me they are simply named different but behave like normal orcs - with no tendency

Machine Tribe because their huge brick forts with the gigantic hellish chimneys everywhere are just amazing :P

Also I like their heavy plated armour and industrial weapons.

I think Marauder tribe is my second favourite because Marauder Defenders and Marauder Olog Hai look amazing. Terror Ologs also look pretty cool, though I find their spikiness gets a bit repetitive.

I've met some REALLY cool looking Dark Tribe captains too, like a really menacing "Ranger the Olog" style Olog with the black warpaint.

My favourite has to be the Mystic Tribe as I love the idea of necromancy and the use of dark arts in Mordor. Their armour looks pretty neat and I love seeing Ologs wearing the full set of Mystic armour aha, but the Marauder Tribe follows as my second favourite.

Most captains are from a specific tribe, which affects abilities, armor, and how their fortresses look if one is the Overlord. You'd see it at the "description" of a captain (For example "poisonous feral tank", where feral is the tribe name). There are tribe trailers on the Shadow of War YouTube channel that explain the tribe's further, although the Marauder trailer is a bit . . . off.

Edit: Actually, here ya go. All the trailers in one video.

Mechanically, the Drak tribe, because i think the Dark Strikes is the best tribe bonus.

Aesthetically, I think the Marauder Tribe... have you seen a Marauder Fort? Looks like a my little Pony castle... I find that hilarious.

I think it explained the Marauder Tribe perfectly, some people are just being idiotic and thinking it's WB making fun out of the Lootbox/"In-App Purchases" That are basically nonexistant when infact the Marauder Tribe are what the music for the Trailer is: Daredevils of Uruks looking to be in style, to live a very tense life of plunder and action, they thrive on the adrenaline of adventure moreso than bloodlust.

Eh, i think it's more about the rap music in LoTR related media. Just doesn't really work out that well.

Well, not many people would even know what Tolkein's work was or even existed if many of the films and spinoff games weren't made on it, but that's art really, as I quote:

"Art in it's simplest form is of the Human imagination, and as Human imagination goes it always changes, and such would Art disinterest one who's imagination has altered from what it once made that Art from. Which is why Art should always be redesigned, redefined and repainted - Lest it turn to rot and wither away"

So yeah, pretty much, not many people would know of it through common knowledge without the films, spinoffs etc... despite their changing alterations.
