And you know that how? Just asking, because a lot of people say things they're not certain of, like me in my Tolkien-lore.

[Uruk King]

There are some screenshots in the media section of Uruk hai some have shields but some don't

[Olorin]

Oh yeah, I never noticed that before. Ignore my previous comment then, Canterbury.

[Gherrick]

Maybe some will carry 2 weapons like orcs?

[Olorin]

Perhaps...it is an interesting and feasible possibility.

[Nertea]

No.

Not as possible as you think, because each horde may use only 1 skeleton, and to give the current Uruk-Hai skeleton 2 swords will make it look rediculous.

[zimoo]

Matias, the Rohan peasants use 3 different skeletons, using what is now commonly known as the 'rohan peasant method'. Basically there are 3 different units, which are variated between for the RohanPeasant object.

[Mathijs]

Shite, forgot about those, just checked it again.

Well, even then, Uruks didn't wield 2 swords in the movie sequences, and it would still require alot of animating work, so there.

[cahik_]

talka about lot of animating work i think i am the only one who can complain on that subject

[zimoo]

Yeah true, I never argued for the dual wielding uruks, I just said it was easily possible

Well on the coding part atleast

[Uruk King]

Well basically Dain said something like the Uruk -hai are gonna have the fewest variations for units, namely about 8 different skins.

[Nertea]

4 skins * 3 shield * 2 weapons = 24 variations.

[hdh7]

Please excuse my cluelessness, but what do * those mean.

[adummy]

times. as in 4 times 3 times 2. or 4x3x2

Whoops, I thought it was possible. OK, from now on I'll shut up about modding.

[Canterbury]

4 skins * 3 shield * 2 weapons = 24 variations.

You said that the Uruk Hai have 2 weapons. What is the other weapon besides the ones which edge has an L?

[Olorin]

Maybe another variation of a sword. That would fit best, I mean I can't see Uruk soldiers in such a formation with battle-axes here and there....it would be cool, but it would look out of place in my opinion.

[Herunor]

some had an axe. remember those uruks that attack the hobbits at amon hen? the first one boromir killed? he had an axe.

[Olorin]

Yeah, I remember them, but I'm talking about the ones at Helm's Deep, the normal Uruk Warriors in the game. It would look out of place seeing sword, sword, sword, sword, sword, AXE, sword...well, not as drastic as that, but you get the idea.
