uruk-hai were different from the half man/orc creatures. Tolkien only called them goblin men and half orcs.

This doesnt seem to work with reworked Gondor militia
This isnt compatible with any other mod than Agostinos Additional Units mod. By the way Uruk-Hai are half orc half men, thats what gives them the same body structure as men.
Taken from wikipedia:
The race of Uruk-hai, described as very large black Orcs of great strength, first appeared about the year 2475 of the Third Age, when they conquered Ithilien and the city of Osgiliath. These original Uruks were of Sauron's breeding, but Saruman bred his own, making further improvements such as resistance to sunlight and more upright stature. All Uruk-hai were larger and stronger than other breeds of Orc and consequently looked down upon and often bullied them.
In The Two Towers, Aragorn observes that the fallen Uruk-hai at Amon Hen were not like any breed of Orc he has seen before. Treebeard speculates that Saruman had crossbred Orcs and Men, "a black evil".[1] These Orcs, who named themselves "the fighting Uruk-hai", made up a large part of Saruman's army, together with the Dunlendings and other human enemies of Rohan.[2][3] They were faster, stronger, and larger than normal Orcs and could travel during the day without being weakened, although they still did not like it.[1] Saruman fed them with human flesh.[4] Saruman's Uruk-hai fought against the Rohirrim at the Battles of the Fords of Isen, at the first of which King Théoden's son Théodred was killed, and the Battle of the Hornburg, where the vast majority of the Uruks were defeated and destroyed.[3]
EDIT: Uruks and Uruk-Hai are the same except Uruks are a larger kind of orc, and uruk-hai is half man half Uruk.
Wikipedia:
It is stated that Uruk-Hai had been bred from Orcs and "Goblin-men", instead of Orcs and Men. In Tolkien's writings "Goblin" is just another term for Orcs (Although the term is mostly applied for the Moria orcs). They tend to be tall, broad, burly and to have long thin hair.

But Tolkien in the same Two Towers mentioned half-orcs apart from Uruks,if I remember correctly.so--> Uruks were bred using Men but they were not half Men IMO
also I found just yesterday a thing about Uruks/Uruk-hai.In The Unfinished Tales it is said that Uruks is "anglicized form of Uruk-hai of the Black Speech"![]()
Hmm.. yes they are
EDIT: Ive modified another unit. Light Elven Infantry. See first post.

Thank you for the article Dea, now can we all get on topic![]()
Yes, What do you think of the new unit?
Whoa!the new unit looks great!But could you add a bigger picture?I really think they look better without helmets![]()
I love the new Elven Unit! But it looks very Silvan though.....
RTR RULES!!!!
Dea you are doing here a really great job!I like the new Elven Light Infantry unit.
Thanks guys, I still dont know how to add a custom general model though..
On the Light elven unit, i thought that a helmet just didnt fit in.. Ill take a new picture that will be bigger so you guys can see it better
It's very simple
Open world\maps\campaign\Imperial_campaign\ Descr_strat.txt
search for Elrond, and add this ", battle_model Elrond" or what you did name his model, put it after "portrait Elrond".
And it's very sensitive, if the model is named Elrond you can't write elrond

Yes, i think he already has his portrait though, and when i added battle_model Captain_Elrond(I named him this so i wouldnt have to change the numbers in the models.db "elrond" has as many characters as "elvish")
The game crashes at startup, when i check the log there is about a mile down full of errors in the descr_strat
Here is a larger picture:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Warning, will most probably stretch page
Looking goodCan't wait to see more units
+rep
Btw, would be nice if you could show bigger pictures of all your new units![]()
Hey Dea, do you have plans on editing the light elven archer unit in the same manner?
RTR RULES!!!!
I dont know, I changed them to fit in with the archers. I wanted them to be abit different from each other and not exactly the same just with a bow instead of sword and shield.
I appreciate any at all ideas for new units!
EDIT: Ive made a new unit, im just going to edit the text files and that. Heres a picture:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I call them: Imladris Spearmen Its got the body of a galahirm and the helmet of noldor.
