If anyone wants to compare, the trolls of the white hand have an attack of 28, charge of 10, total defence of 33, and 8 hp, and the Olog-Hai have an attack of 32, charge of 10, total defence of 27 (a little less armour and no shield), and 8 hp, and they both cost the same. So essentially, Trolls of the White Hand are more survivable, but Olog-Hai are more damaging
They have tried with something similar on the old Thranduil’s halls map, and it ended up being a rather grindy choke point that defenders could abuse at the gate opening. Maybe add an inner courtyard surrounding orthanc with two entrances so defenders still get a good final stand position, but allow for a little variety on how to attack it
bring back the nazg-hai bodyguard they were so cool and very versatile with them being 3 hit points, ap, and was a sword and shield (they were basically the uruk captains on steroids) there only down side was that only 38 of them in a unit but still would love to see them make a return!
Isen is one of my top 3 best looking factions alongside harad and Rohan. Very iconic their styles. I don't like The urukhai reavers. They stick out too much . I mean the design of the weapon is something I don't find very isengard like. So if you ask me , that's one unit i would let go. Also about the trolls , I was at first unsure of whether isengard need a troll unit because of their absence in the movies. But I just love the unit model so much , like the shields and the weapon choice is 🫶🏽. Like 💯 approve of the trolls. The anti cav being taken away from the wargs is something I again approve of , otherwise it just seemed as tho countering cavalry was a little too easy for isengard. However I would love to see the half orc model riding the wargs instead of the snaga (not a huge deal tho)
One thing I think you neglected about the basic raider unit: how many entry level units with those kinds of numbers and stats have not just "excellent morale" but also "very good stamina"? I haven't seen all the faction overviews, but I assume neither of those traits are very common in the basic level units?
Isengard is just the same old same old boring uninspired version in most Third Age mods. In Reforged they have cool new troll models which is at least something.
Isengard is probably the best orcish faction for defending with their well rounded roster.

Love Isengard, the best baddies!
Just imagine if the developers of this game make on opening inside of the saruman towers and make the capture point and last stand on it

nazgahi have a armor upgrade ( understandable that you missed it, i almost always forget about it when i play isenguard).
Hail Isengard!

Where did they go Isengard orthanc horse crossbows in their faction?
