"First-born" Uruk-hai. Particularly bloodthirsty, brutal and skilled commander who leads the forces of Isengard. Appears in both BFME 1 and in BFME 2 fighting for in ranks of his master.
Lurtz in the New Line Films
Battle for Middle Earth 1[]
One of the only two heroes Isengard has at it's disposal. Thus he serves particularly critical role in the army, being an irreplaceble asset for his troops.
Lurtz has range of diverse skills, making him adaptable and extrodinarly useful in tactical use. He's particularly good at killing enemy heroes; either directly or by exposing them to his forces - and by that damaging the opposed army right at it's heart. He motivates his troops to deal hugely increased damage and to scavenge ressources from killied enemies - and by that strenghtening already powerful Isengard economy.
Lurtz can take care of himself, having a good amount of health and dealing solid damage. Nevertheless, he will be primary target for the enemy player. Make sure he is surrounded by his troops - at the safest yet most deadly position he can be at.
