But, for his own reasons, he did not snap his fingers and destroy evil as he could have. Same with the Valar. Evil does not stand a chance against them, but they stayed their hands like Eru, and hence, they are not a part of this discussion. You call them banishing Morgoth to save the elves 'staying their hand'? They were infact going to invade again as a last resort after the War of Wrath... Eru, yes, but if you also remember Manwë has been left alone for large periods of time without guidance. This, we can therefore assume, means that Eru only helps either side when they're losing and in the end gave up and only allowed the immortal elves who would still remember the sadness, to truly survive. The others 'dwindled' and actually, we could take this to mean they were overtaken by some other evil force. Therefore, while I completely agree with the rest, I believe there should be balance in the terms of say:

(This is blown wildly out of proportion) An elf costs 2 in this instance, and has its fighting value as 2dmg. On the other hand, orcs cost 1 and only deal 1dmg. Something comparable to this would work in my mind, but I'd rather that instead of countering one unit with another unit some other way could be found. It's complicated enough as it is.
