Hello everyone,
I tried hiring some Hurons to fight for me and I found they simply weren't very strong against Orcs. In fact one Uruk-Hai was perfectly capable of taking down a Huorn, and even a Gundabad Orc was capable of causing severe damage to a Huorn. However, in the book, only a few hundred Huorns were able to take down ten thousand Orcs of Isengard.
Maybe Huorns should be given armour points (not visual armour) that is strong against anything other than axes? That would make them a lot stronger. The ents, too, should only take significant damage when attacked by a wood-axe, mattock, or battle-axe.
Also, Huorns should be immune to poison.

I agree, especially about the Huorns; they're much harder to get then other units, but don't have many advantages besides health and speed. In a battle between 20 Uruks and 20 Huorns, I would bet on the Uruks (EDIT: I just tested it, 20 Uruks vs 20 Huorns, Uruks won with 15 survivors), but a battle with the same numbers between Rohorrim and Uruks I would give the upper hand to the Rohorrim (EDIT: Did this battle too, I was wrong; Uruks won, but there were only 6 survivors). Ents are weaker then they should be too, evil players should be worried when roaming around in Fangorn.
