Orcs (or basically all NPCs) should spawn rarer but in bigger groups. It's unrealistic that there is at least one gondorian soldier in every 100m² or that single orcs get through all this and spawn in some caves right in front of Minas Tirith.

Also morale would be a great addition. All units have a chance to flee  when they get too much damage. The good have better morale, so they have a smaller chance to flee.

But orcs shouldn't be nerfed and their AI is already bad enough. Orcs are bred for the war and should be stronger than men. The soldiers of Gondor have better armour but an orc should be nearly as strong as the soldier in total. Mordor did overrun Gondor. Battles that Gondor won were all won by surprise or other things, not by the steadiness of Gondor's soldiers (Faramir's ambush, the rohirric flank attack on the Pellenor fields, Aragorn's victory at Pelargir thanks to the army of Dunharrow...).

The weakness of cavalry is a legit point. Lances or a general horse charge attack could solve that.
