Unfortunately, this isn't the real world, this is Middle-earth, and I'm trying to work around specific things for each race and faction.

Elves - Smaller numbers due to the fading and passing of the Elves, but extremely elite, even at their lowest level.

Edain and Northmen - Weakening as their territories are slowly subsumed, but still strong and putting up a good fight with decent numbers.

Evil Men - On the rise, with a few elite units, but for the most part large amounts of undisciplined weak units.

Orcs - Hundreds of thousands of cheap throwaways, with a few very strong units(Nazgûl, trolls, Black Uruks, etc).
