From what i see you want to drastically nerf the whole race

not drastically. a bit of armor nerf but for example uruk axes gain buff in way of bonus damage to infantries and heavy infantries.
With troll headhunters many races have really high problems because of dodges and because i removed them.
Poison weapon ability is buffed: +1 turn length, -2 turns cooldown while cost of it is lowered.

It does look that way doesn't it. My suggestion is to do the goblin pikers bit (too easy to get them for them to explode), the headhunter part (that's been debated a lot), and the uruk archers (who are currently the best true archers in the game, despite this supposedly being an orcish weak point)

Beyond that, I'd suggest for poison weapon to become a permanent bonus, not a temporary ability (suggested it a few times before) and a slight flavor change. I'd actually say raptor riders should be goblins, not orcs, and subject to the goblin upgrade line combined with the cavalry upgrades, rather than the orc line with cavalry upgrades. This would help explain raptor riders having the speed they do. Probably avoid giving them grenades due to the high speed though.

Give this time to change balance and see if it still needs adjusting

I just don't like how uruk archer gets 0/0 armor. He has uruk armor and balancing can't do anything about it

i will leave armors for now as they are.
For now, until more content will come for other races.

Also uruks and olog hais need higher ocst than they have now as well as hamletbacks.

As we have spoken privately we are going to expand other races a lot, so there is no need to adjust anything untile then
