Currently, hobbits have somewhat low health and no armor, which makes them rather, well, feeble. Sure, they're ment to be early-on units and are happy, non-violent foke, but I still think that they could benifit from a bit of armor or more health.

The reasons for this is as follows:

1. Hobbits are a good unit for early on players as they require little alignment and are cheep. However, their low health means more often than not, they die off quickly, or you end up having to run around savin them. If they had some armor points or health, they would die less quickly, letting them support you better until you can find better units/equiptment.

2. It is hinted at in the book that hobbits are a sturdy race, for example when Gandalf commented on how Frodo survived having the splinter of the Morgul knife stuck in him for nearly two weeks when 'I have known string warriors of the Big People who would quickly have been overcome'

3. Hobbits have a weak attack, only dealing a heart or two of damage (2 or 4 points). If only their sturdiness is increased a little, I feel that it would let hobbits be slightly more useful than they are now, without being OP. I don't mean a very large increase. Hobbits should not be able to take down a single orc by themselves(Ok, mayby if it's a gundabad orc in really shoddy armor in daylight), but they should be able to distract it while you fight, or aid you in taking one down.

AFAIK Hobbits are really good at throwing things and using slings, Bilbo was able to take out a giant spier with a single stone he threw by hand, i think Hobbit ranged attack should definitely be increased to compensate for this accuracy.
