Isengard (Faction)

The Uruk-hai of Isengard were created by Saruman the White in order to compete with the Dark Lord for the One Ring. They are stronger than most other orcs, and do not fear the sun as much. As well as the Uruk-hai, Saruman uses hired orcs from the Misty Mountains, and enlists the help of Dunland in his conquest to obtain the Ring.

Locations
Isengard Units can spawn in Nan Curunír, the Uruk Highlands, the Fangorn Wasteland, and rarely in Rohan. Isengard Structures only spawn in Nan Curunír, however.

Alignment
Isengard and the Uruk-hai have only two allied factions - Dunland, and, surprisingly, the Half-trolls.

Invasions
Isengard uncommonly invades Rohan, but does not invade anywhere else.

Units
As with all Orcish factions, Isengard has no civilian units, just soldiers, mounts, and traders.
 * Uruk-hai - The trademark unit of Isengard. These Orcs are a special breed created by Saruman.  They are resistant to sunlight, and wear Dwarven level armor.
 * Uruk-hai Berserkers - These Uruk-hai are even tougher than normal, and wield a huge sword.
 * Uruk-hai Chieftains - These captains are found in Isengard Orc Camps. As with all captains, you can hire faction units from them.
 * Uruk-hai Crossbowers - These dreaded Uruk-hai wield Uruk Crossbows, and are not to be messed with.
 * Uruk-hai Sappers - Uruk-hai with Orc-bombs. They will get close to their targets, drop and light their Orc-bombs, and will switch to a sword to continue to fight.
 * Uruk-hai Traders - These NPCs can be found in some Orc camps, and will sell you Uruk-hai armor and other oddments.
 * Isengard Wargs - These ferocious wolves wear Isengard Warg Armour, and can be brown, grey, black, or white.
 * Warg Bombardiers - Wargs with Orc Bombs on their backs. They will charge at their target, and will instantly explode when they get close enough.
 * Isengard Snaga - Unlike the Uruk-hai, these are basic orcs, and wear mismatched armor.
 * Isengard Snaga Archer - Isengard Snaga trained with bows. They use Vanilla bows, or, rarely, crossbows.
