Mad Orcs
These guys are my favourite orcs, but I've only ever come across 1, they were a lot more common in the last game if I recall. I desired to have a fort filled with mad orcs but they seem too rare. Anyone else came across multiple? I read somewhere that some orcs such as the machine orc you get from cleaving an orc and him cheating death are limited to one per game, curious if that was true/same applies for mad orc, I've killed tons of orcs in each area and spent loads of ingame money for chests in a hope to come across more but no luck so far.

The Machine is a "Legendary Scar", and only one Per Game can appear, such as the Unashamed, Flame of War, The Plague (I believe it was The Plague).

There are also Rare Scars, such as Metal Legs/Headpieces/Arms, there are also Wraith-Death related Scars which make Captains as "Pale Orcs" when they return from the grave, some even have special Personalities like the Wraith-Touched or Specter (When you use the default fist-blast in the ground with no elements and kill someone with it)


Then there are common scars, which can very to an axe partially severing the head, or actual scars on the body, a stitch-marking around someone's arm, etc.


I often like to referance "Mad Orcs", as being "Deranged Scars", which basically only comes from excessive Shaming, so keep Shaming a Captain and he'll become Deranged, or a Maniac.

Captains often have a threshold percentage of when they can become Deranged or a Maniac, others are weaker minded and others have a strong resistance to Shaming and can become the Unashamed, others can simply be Shamed but can't be Deranged.

Ah, cheers for the clarification on the first part, I've only come across the machine and unashamed so far, not any of the others. but I don't think you understand what I mean by Mad orc. Here a video I took of a couple fights with him in : https://youtu.be/DW29bHiyjdo

I found him like that with no shaming, much like in the first one Shadow of Mordor. The truely mad not deranged.

Legendary scars can only happen once per playthrough? Man, that's horrible. That explains why nothing happens after the game is beat.

Maybe if they die they can have a chance to happen again, i think maybe only one active at a time? I had a unique orc The Tower, he died, hours and hours later after I beat the game, i've not yet done the forts bit, I literally just found another tower orc, different first name so he didn't cheat death
If a Legendary Scar Captain dies, he still has a chance to return from the grave and Cheat Death.

The Tower is not a Unique Captain, and is not a Legendary Scar, thus you can have him many times like any ordinary Captain.

Considering he wears the towers armour apparently, it was a decent guess to assume there would be only 1 of him. I've just wiped out tons of orcs and currently have 230 something chest orcs, no second mad orc.
Wish there was a way to delete multiple orcs, will take forever deleting these

Or delete before they go into the garrison, or at least have the option of turning off the destruction animation. I've started deleting a few every time I switch reasons just to keep from having to takke an hour plus out of playing to delete useless orcs

I'll be honest. I saw this topic and immediately thought of the Madlads subreddit and just imagined a subreddit of Uruks doing ♥♥♥♥ they think is hardcore but really isn't.

Just came across one in online siege, guy had "Zuka the Mad" as his overlord. Feral berserker.. his intro speech was "Fish leather so shiny I can smell the sun" his death statement was "A very fine carpet, sir." Makes me hope I come across one :P

So if you fight a friendly match no Overlord will die right? I haven't done any of those missions.
