Though honestly, it's crashed on me 4 times in 2 hours and I am about to call it "beaten" on a technical difficulty clause due to my current investment of time. 
farkkkkk this.
Yes the lesser guys just keep getting replaced, especially if you die...it accelerates the process. What you need to do is focus on a certain group, kill them off as quickly as possible, and take the leader out fast. The progression all counts on you killing the 4 or 5 main warlords. All the lesser guys do is make the main warlords group stronger. Its a bit confusing to figure out.
I did the same as you...kept killing the lesser guys and was getting pissed that they kept coming back. Finally I just said fuck it and went straight for the bigshots, and finally the story began to progress.

Okay, thanks, yeah that si what I started to do today, and then the crashing.
Crashing is not fun.
I am about 13 hours in now and I haev a few questions.
I've killed two of the four warlords. Is Sauron's Army an endless respawn type situation? I mean, I just keep killing them and they keep popping up. And am I supposed to kill Ratbag now he is a warlord? I thought he worked for me?).
I've just kinda bumming around killing people and stuff, trying to stick mostly to mission stories.
So any kind of direction you can lend is welcomed.
