So... had an idea the other day (about when yoda's Gondorian foot cavalry was stampeding into my base) about an idea for Isengard. Basically, it would be mines buried underground throughout your base. That's an easy way to explain it, though :ohmy: a better way would be Saruman's defenses in the books which he used against the Ents - massive deposits of incendiary gases and "fires of Orthanc" (as Aragorn put it) that he was somehow able to trigger safely from inside his Tower. So yeah. Maybe it could be another of his powers when the White Wizard stows away in his fortress?

I like it, gives Saruman another potential thing to do when he's on the Wizard's Tower.

Definitely. It should be super-deadly to ents... like poor Beechbone in TTT. :)

It should only be deadly to ents after they become less vulnerable than they already are :) . Just my opinion, though.

Well yeah. :) I thought that was implied after my little comment about the Eaves of Fangorn mission... *rolls eyes* Ents are way underpowered right now.

It was implied (from my understanding), I just felt like making it obvious and repeated again.

I've been reading up on the Orcs, and perhaps as the Deathbringer replacement, either the shield Uruks that have been talked about, or perhaps a unit named Great Orcs. Eomer once referred to them as this.

Alternatively, the Shield-Uruks, (or Uruk Vanguard), could become Isengard's staple elite melee unit, basically it could be bought without limit, and the Uruk Berserkers, organised in groups of three, become the MMH, no need for Deathbringers.
I will remember Rhovanion Alliance, RIP .

Red could stay but don't make uruk forged blades blue or white It just looks ugly and sucks with Uruks. :good:
Anyway if red blades are removed, than just let them be normal.

When we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day! An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down. But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth I bid you stand, Men of the West!"-King Ellessar

I suppose giving Shield Uruks the name Uruk Vanguard works fine, makes them sound very organized. :)

Who says you need lots of armor to be elite?

I agree with just adding a shield upgrade to normal uruks...

I Agree with CTLN7 big shields could be an upgrade for basic Uruks and the scouts should be an elite. I'd rather call them Uruk trackers because that what they are. And if possible they could come in normal size batallion be strong against heroes and run really fast. So only cavalry could run away from them. Make Berserkers the MMH by making them stronger and more resistant but keep them coming alone so they can activate bombs and climb on top of ladders on Fortress maps. That one of the uniqueness of Isengard.
