Would this work?

Not sure I like the concept of anything spawning extra units for orcs beyond goblin spikers. Now it might be good to have uruk captain have an aura, maybe to give +1 speed at radius 3 to all uruks. That's the one stat that would be useful to them without getting too over the top.

It shouldn't spawn orcs and one variant seems fine, I like the idea of the morale boost but you could make it weaker then the orc leaders.

I don't think it should spawn units, instead it just boost strength and is strong unit.

Would these other upgrades I made be needed or are we going for something different?

I agree that it should only give some decent side effects but shouldn't increase stats since uruks already have great stats on their own.

Speed +1 is a very strong effect but range 3 seems pretty limiting so it might not be particularly effective.

Since it will have upgrades (i'll work on my versions of the images later), what about giving the +1 speed on upgrade 3 only?

I was thinking something like

10% conversion resistance*level to all uruks in an increasing range (4/5/6 maybe) and the +1 speed might become an active ability in the same range that he can give to the uruks units in range just once in a while (maybe cooldown 3).

What do you think about it?

The idea for resistance is that uruks fear their leaders and are less inclined to betray them, the speed is just an order that is carried with haste out of fear.

sounds not so bad because uruks currently have 0% spell resist.

That would be useful since orcs main problem is their resistance to conversion.

Not to just "conversion".
Spell resist affects all enemy status effect single target spells – like slowing, armor break, fear, curse or scream.
And conversion spell have only undeads on lich and scaledfolks.

Spell resistant will be helpful.

Yes resistance would be quit helpful, btw could you make res distance act as another armour against offensive spells so units take less damage from those kind of spells?

Not yet.

It was my intention.

I liked the idea that a mage can shield himself with magic against another wizard's spell

We need Daniel for that tough.

Huh, I coulda sworn we had stats for this guy?
Uruk Captain

Cost:7
Hp:40/48/56/64
Atk:18/21/24/27
Rng:1
Sight:4
Spd:3
Arm:3/4/5/6
P.arm:3/4/5/6
Res:40% (he's a captain, he has some control over his mind)
Abilities:
Aura of resistance passive - rng:3 - gives allied Uruks +20% to their resistance
Haste: cool:2, rng:self, aoe:3, gives allied Uruks in range +1 speed for 1 turn.

Does not effect Olog hai.

Remove aoe, increase armor to 3/3 (normal) with same armor increase, increase spell resist that captain gives to +20% but it must affect only other uruk units only and lower cost to 7 turns and it will be fine.

Active ability also must affect only uruks.

Both things must not affect olog hais and any other units aside from uruks themselves.

I thought 2/2 armour because he has no shield?

But as captain it has better armor than normal uruks.

This look better for the captain?

Honestly, I think it's probably better. More in line with how Uruk ranks look.
That little centurian helm their, actually points the Uruk out as a high ranking officer.

So this ready?

Yes.

Updated look to look more similar to the base orc leader.

Updated.

nice (btw the units should all face the right border of the tile they are on )

Ya, I kinda forgot that because I was in a hurry.

Wow! This Uruk Hai captain is solo much better!

Beautiful work, @Savra

Thx, I was worried it wouldn't come out as good when I posted it.

Here's the others.
