Especially compared to the movies, where evil tends to have large numbers of really flimsy troops, while good has small numbers of more powerful troops.

For one, Olog-hai are not as bad as you think, and there are ways to easily defeat fifty of them at a time. However, the way LotR works is that evil was always more powerful. Gondorian victory over the power of Mordor wasn't hard, it was impossible by strength of arms. Only the destruction of the Ring laid evil powers low.

The fact that evil factions are generally stronger is a counter to the fact that there are far more good factions than evil, which leads to a higher quantity of good players on servers. The mod ends up balancing it pretty well, just not the way you would expect.

Gen. Grievous1138 (admin) comlink 10:54, November 9, 2015 (UTC) how?

How is it balanced? By making evil slightly more powerful to even out the scale on servers. In singleplayer you can do whatever you want.

Gen. Grievous1138 (admin) comlink 21:47, January 1, 2016 (UTC) sorry, I wanted to know how to kill 50 olog hai easily. Easy, Rangers of the North en masse.

No, not rangers. Dwarven axe-throwers are far more effective. If you can spot a ranger, you can easily kill it.

Gen. Grievous1138 (admin) comlink 15:44, January 2, 2016 (UTC) Aye, but he stated Ologs. With a player then yeah axe throwers would be better.

Axethrowers DEMOLISH Ologs. Rangers take longer and can be more easily killed by the player leading the Ologs.

Gen. Grievous1138 (admin) comlink 16:22, January 2, 2016 (UTC) But I was answering his direct question. Without a player, the Rangers are pretty OP.
