Don't say Swan Knights, I've done tests, it take 3 damn Swan knights to kill one uruk. Evil units are far too overpowered in this mod. Orcs aren't the best smiths in the world and Gondor armor is horrible, it's plate armor, plate armor was some of the best armor in the medieval age so why do I have crap troops? Someone correct me if I'm mistaken, but weren't Uruks just as physically strong as a human? I don't think the Uruks, in the lore, were supposed to be the huge killing machines they're in the mod. Of course, they're a very aggressive and hostile species, but they still should be tied in the strength factor with a "war-ready" human.

Oh, the plate armor! I cringe so hard when I see that Gondorian watchman in Osgiliath being killed by a single arrow. The breastplate, where the arrow hits, could have a more round shape to better deflect incoming projectiles and blades, yes, but it still would've easily deflected that Orc arrow. Do you know how a real person in that situation would react? Exactly like Jules and Vince from Pulp Fiction in that scene where a guy unloads his revolver at them but misses all the shots; the person would just look around, trying to see if there was at least a scratch in its armor. ah yes, the idiocy of plate armor's mechanics in many things... such as in minecraft someone somehow managed to make plate armor out of diamonds... and an arrow shears through it, hardly damaging the player, but still, a flint-headed arrow can pierce a breastplate made of diamond? not a chance
