Never was there any reference to orcs using morgul blades. I thought this too, but I recently reread the LotR appendices. Boromir (not the one from the Fellowship, his namesake), while defending Osgiliath, was said to have been severely weakened by a Morgul-wound. The Nazgul had not revealed themselves yet; this was the Black Uruk assault, I believe. So one orc, at least, had a Morgul Blade.

While I otherwise agree with the removal, I agree with Shade about armor piercing. One idea that I like is making LotR gear unenchantable. Another idea that I had is the addition of armor-piercing units. Maybe berserker units (Uruk, hillman, Dunland, maybe Black Uruk later) could punch through armor to a degree?

Gen. Grievous1138 (admin) comlink 17:02, July 29, 2015 (UTC) An excellent point. Now that you mentione it, I do remember reading that very thing recently as well.

I agree that enchanted lotr stuff is unrealistic, and that armor piercing would be a lot better. The armor-piercing could also have different affects per faction.
