Addendum:

[x] Hill Troll is good vs. cavalry.
[x] Dale Archer is good vs. heroes.
[x] Wolf-riders are simply orcish knights: cheaper, weaker but stronger in attack. No infantry bonus.
[x] Adding Battle Mumak as melee mumak version. AOE attack so good vs. units. Plus bonus vs. siege and buildings. Changed: merged into Mumak War Tower.
[x] Warg has attack bonus vs. foot units. Classifies as cavalry and beast.
[x] White Wolf has attack bonus vs. foot units. Classifies as cavalry and beast.

Rhudaur beta-feedback:

[ ] Rhudaur units boost, no gold
[ ] Rhudaur units not really worth - archer is only slightly stronger than the Orc archer (+1 range, -1 attack, +2 armour) but costs gold and more wood. Infantry is a lot weaker than the Orc Warrior (once upgraded) and costs +25 food and only -2 gold. I would always prefer the cheaper and faster(!) Orcs over Rhudaurs.
[x] Rhudaur units - give bonus vs civilians, trolls. The hillmen had to constantly deal with hill trolls raiding their villages, so i think they'd be good against trolls.
