2. Black Uruks are the elite guard of Barad-dûr. They deserve no less than 30 health and dwarven-level armor.

3. Strength in numbers is not something it is feasible to replicate. While Uruks may be stronger in the mod, this is purely for balancing. If Uruk-hai were human strength, there would be nothing for evil to counter not only all dwarven units, but a majority of elven units as well. Uruk strength is what it is because they were meant to not only be an improvement on orcs, but on men as well. They were stronger, they just weren't smarter. They are powerful shocktroops. Your suggestion would reduce them below the level of puny basic soldiers of Gondor.

"there would be nothing for evil to counter not only all dwarven units, but a majority of elven units as well". Of course there is, numbers! Bring more Orcs than the Dwarves or the Elves, and you're all set. If you are worried about servers, I bet that you know that many of them create troop limits to avoid lag. So, all they have to do is increasing the number of units an Orc Player can have, while decreasing the maximum number of units a Dwarven/Elven player can have.

Also, the Half-orcs were created by Saruman, and those indeed were as physically impotent as a man. Even Théodred, son of Théoden, is described to have been slain by a great Half-orc (not sure, have to check). Now Uruks, is there a quote that says how they came to be? Weren't they just a larger breed of Orcs?
