Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lome) 12:35, February 2, 2017 (UTC) While I would agree if you were talking about using the orcs as a workforce- but I imagine you are talking about watching over them, as I do.

A armorless, defenseless human could probably overpower a snags, especially if you consider the considerable amount of slaves they would need to harvest such large amounts of food for the hundreds of thousands of orcs at the motherland.

Having well-equipped, well-fed Uruks or large Orcs watch over the masses of slaves would probably be more useful. A armourless defenceless human may over power a snaga, but not an armourless, defenceless, malnutritioned, beaten, chained human cannot.

Besides snaga would have weapons.

Also, fat whites enslaved musaclar blacks, they weren't able to successfully rebel. (Not stereotyping, but there would be some fat white people back in the day that would have have slaves that might be musaclar from work or like enslaved soldiers, no racism intended) To your first point, a snaga was about a meter tall, or 3.5 feet, rarely had helmets or armor, and used badly-forged equipment. Besides the fact that they aren't very frightening and were mostly used as slaves (hence the fact that Snagae means Slave in Black speech), A small group of them, say 20-30 were to watch over a large farm with around 300 slaves. If a revolt where to happen, and the snagae weren't simply punted off, but instead were able to win in a 1v1, they still would be so far outnumbered that they wouldn't be able to frighten the enemy back into submission.

On another point, the orcs guarding Nurn should not only keep the slaves in line, but protect the farms from raids or attack. If enslaving and freeing slaves is implemented, then a gondorian player shouldn't just be able to waltz into a farm, kill a couple of snagae / lesser orcs in a few seconds, and waltz back out with a ton of alignment, farmhands and/or silver. To make it as difficult as it would be to enslave a gondorian, Nurn Orcs and Nurn Guards would provide a bit more of a challenge, while not being too overpowered.

If anything, I might downgrade the Nurn Orc Warriors to 24 health, and have regular Nurn Orcs vary in size (20-24 health, avg. hp 22)
