Most of this talking about being superior is propaganda. Gondorians are still just men. Their discipline is expressed in the leading skills of the commander. Can you command a squad of gondorians to defeat multiple squads of orcs with nearly no losses? Then you have shown that your commanding skills are worthy for the Gondorian armies. To improve the commanding effectiveness, the mod should get a better unit commanding system.

And then there is another point: Gondorians just defend their homes. Most of their soldiers were raised from the common people and are no professional warriors. The book describes the reinforcements from the fiefs as fishermen, hunters, farmers etc. and the rangers of Ithilhien are normal men who lived in Ithilhien and lost their homes during the war. Mordor on the other side, is focused on the war. Orcs are bred for the war and the land is full of warcamps. I have to agree with the better command mechanics though in conclusion of your point what do you have to say?
