Online Conquest Difficulties
Can I be playing the hardest mode and someone on the easiest mode raids my fortress? Or does every single difficulty have different ranked conquests?

Most invaders are in easy or normal and could raid your forts. So yeah... difficultie wont save your boys.

Simpler: difficultie doesnt matter for matchmaking.

Damn, that really sucks. I feel like that makes it pointless to play after you already complete the game... oh well.

Well, it should be in quests. Maybe nemesis? It isn't like facing other players or anything. It's called "Online Conquest" and it's basically just capturing other peoples fortresses. You can recruit their warchiefs and overlord.

So If I win and I get their boss will it make me stronger in story mode

Well, first castles are usually random useless ones with weak frozen traits (orcs you get online end in garrison and thus dont earn immunities or lose weaknesses anymore), not a good recruiting choice and the lvl 80 come quite quickly.

Unless you are a completionist you should ignore the Online sieges, not very interesting things to earn and when you will see the cheaters you may be quite annoyed.
Well, still need to take the region first.

Dont brand many guys in Nurn, it just make a further story quest harder, 5 or 7 should be enough for now.

This Best defense quest... feel like a broken record thank to this one.:OTCrepeat:

Friendly sieges are always in normal btw. Even if with this last chance reappearing its more easy than normal...

So, wait, I heard some conflicting info from the other guy. All Online Conquests are in normal? Or..?

Also, I haven't seen a cheater yet in the game. What would that look like?

There are 2 online sieges modes, the ranked wich are in the difficultie you play, and the "friendly" wich are in normal (you dont keep orcs and loots from friendly so its mostly "for fun").

Lucky a thread about one revived just yesterday xd.

imagine a fort full of guy like this. Pink traits are from Desolation of Mordor dlc btw, if you wonder.

You see abusive edited (cheated orcs) behond 800 or 850 assault ranking. Usually... damn guides explaining how to cheat are everywhere xd.

The ranked conquests go on a single difficult.

As a note, I just ran into my first cheater's file today. Fortunately you can preview a conquest before you run it and see if the a-hole has a gibbed warlord or overlord.

I think they need to detect these gibbed files. Seriously, they are so obvious. Orcs simply don't spawn like that.

I thought it was matched by online rank.

Yeah, assault rating. Pity it doesnt reset after a new game...

I just ran across someone on vendetta who had cloned orcs too. There are ways to intentionally clone an orc through legitimate online play, but it's not easy. These might have been cloned like that.

I REALLY think the solution to these cheaters is to add a patch that when it detects clearly gibbed orcs (specifically ones that are physically impossible to occur during natural gameplay) and cause them to automatically rebel against the master, get marked as permanently iron will, and have the top set become the Nemesis orc for each of their areas, forcing cheaters to reset their save to get rid of them.

If possible add a line to their dialogue calling the player a cheater and telling them it's time for their punishment.
