Dude, it is multiplayer focused, and so they decided for balance over lore. In the cases of sieges, numbers are certainly not very useful, so they had to change it. Yes, vanilla was balanced respectably, but not perfectly. Misty Mountains were a joke to bring, and elves and dwarves could steamroll over almost any evil unit.

Same as in LOTR mod. It has to have a measure of balance for multiplayer battles, or it will be impossible for people with worse computers to handle the numbers.
