Disclaimers
Some of the content in this suggestion is based on content from one of my earlier suggestions. Also,Gorbag mentioned many of the Hillman ideas in a comment on his Remains of Arnor suggestion, so kudos to him.

Introduction
Angmar, one of the evil factions, is composed of highly weak orcs, wargs, trolls and mountain trolls. It has one boss, “The Mountain Troll Chieftain, and one subfaction, the hillmen of Rhudaur, which in itself is composed of incredibly weak men. This suggestion is divided into two parts, improvements on the Rhudaur hillmen, and improvements on trolls.

Of the Rhudaur Hillmen
The Rhudaur hillmen are incredibly weak at the moment. Despite the fact that hillmen warriors were intended as a replacement for Angmar orc Warriors (R.I.P) and yield two alignment when slain, they are generally actually less powerful than normal Angmar orcs, due to their incredibly weak armour. Normal, non-warrior hillmen (men of Numenor) can be slain by hobbit sheriffs in one-on-one combat, and yet, these unarmoured, presumably untrained civilians seem to make up the backbone of Rhudaur’s military power, spawning much more commonly than warriors both in invasion and naturally. Yes, unlike every other faction (besides half trolls, who are actually savages, and decently powerful) the Rhudaur hillmen are the only faction to use civilians in invasion. They also have the least content of any faction or subfaction, so there is literally no reason to play as them! The fact that these men of Numenor get absolutely slaughtered by every other faction in the mod is ridiculous. Now that I am done with my rant, here is what I suggest is done.

1.Remove hillmen civilians from invasions. No faction, in Middle Earth or otherwise would send unarmoured men with people with wooden axes (base damage of 3) against elven warriors or rangers.

2.Add Hillwomen. Females are as necessary for any faction as males after all...

3.Add a Hillmen champion helmet, crafted from orcsteel and bones on an Angmar crafting table, it would give iron level protection. (If any of those more talented in the texture department wanted to whip up a texture, I'd be happy to display it under your name.)

4.Add Rhudaur hillmen champions. They would wear full Angmar armour, but with a hillmen champion helmet. They would wield angmar weapons and have 25 health.

5,Remove Hillmen warg riders. Tbh, these are pretty unlikely…

6.Add Hillmen butchers. Just for the sake of content. These would sometimes spawn in hillmen villages. They would probably have animals in cages. (If any of those more talented in the building department wanted to build one, I would happily post screenshots under their name.) The butchers obviously sell meat. New title: ¨Hillwomen¨
