I think it would be a good idea to just make it that evil NPCs are much weaker, but in health not in armor. This would make it so evil still had relatively powerful gear, but their NPCs are pretty bad but super cheap. A Gundabad Orc should cost a third of a High Elf at maximum. Evil always had it's true power in hordes, and though good could slaughter them on the battlefield with equal numbers, they were often outnumbered ten to one. Faramir's line   " Today we may make the Enemy pay ten times our loss at the passage and yet rue the exchange. For He can afford to lose a host better than we to lose a company." (roughly, he can afford 10,000 more than we 1,000) was truth. These lines show that Mordor had weak troops, but many of them. They are like stormtroopers. Strictly speaking, it does not say that Gondor had better troops, but a better overall combat efficiency. Since it's Faramir who said that, he is probably talking about superior tactics. And after all, Gondor did loose the war and was only saved by Rohan's help.
