SWVWC wrote: The Good factions ARE more numerous and own more land. Gundabad is really the only threat in the North West, unless you actively go looking for Angmar. Gondor has better archers, ofc, and Rohan has their cavalry and horse speed. And their regular infantry has better armor and deals more damage than the average Orc, but not as much as the average Uruk. Isengard gets heavier, better infantry, but is tiny in land compared to Rohan. Imo, its decently balanced. By no means perfect, but decently balanced Honestly i fail to see how that helps the player, even the smallest biome is big enough for a rather large base, and you only need one captain of any faction to recruit infinite troops. Also you left out Olog-Hai, that are massive heaps of HP and damage output which nothing on eht "good" side can really match, only Ents come anywhere close but they are non recruitable.

Then there are Orc bombs, that on their own skew the balance of any engagement. A single orc bombadier or orc bombadier warg can easily wipe out a dozen or more of any troop the good side brings.

As for Uruks, every major orc faction except Gundabad has them, so in practice the fact regular orcs are slightly weaker then regular troops of other factions does not even come into play, since Uruks and Black uruks easily dominate any good unit except perhaps elven lords.

in summary if you build an army of Olog Hai, Uruks and orc bombadiers there is literally nothing the good player can do to stop you, even with a much larger army, and that's simply a fact.
