The truth is that Mordor had sheer numbers, orcs were pretty much expendable though, apart from Uruks they got little training save for "you hold this end of the sword, this end you stick into human" and they also seem malnurished, there is also a question of balance, sooner or later every developer has to sacrifice realism for the sake of gameplay, right now evil seems to be significantly stronger overall, with a lot cheaper base units and advanced units like wargs and trolls that have no equivalent in good side. I call shenanigans on that sir, first of all. The basic troops of evil are the only ones that are cheap and they are horrible. Second, wargs are a weak equivalent of horses, let's not forget how strong Rohan npc's are. The only two evil factions that have strong troops are the Uruk-Hai and Mordor. I don't seem to get why you think evil is significantly stronger. The only uncountered troop is the Olog-Hai, which can be taken down with no problem if you read the wiki on how to fight it. Last but not least, the good side has strong troops as well. Rohirrim, Rangers, Elves and Dol Amroth soldiers. Yes, evil troops are cheaper, because they're expendable. Overall, good troops have better armour and better mechanics. Right now, there are seven evil factions and twelve good factions, of course evil has a higher diversity of troops.
