A simple way to balance Orc, UD, and Faery
Orc: 8/2 or 8/3 elite
Undead: 8/3 or 8/4 elite
Faery: 3/7 elite, lower pop penalty to -5%; or keep 3/8, but give them much harsher penalties.
Other things might need to be worked with, but it is very hard to balance the game when orc and undead elites are so good offensively, when they already have bonuses that are awesome for a heavy attacker... even moreso when the only other armies are at best 7/5 or 6/6, and the two 7/5 races have horrible elite defenses. It would also do a little bit to reduce the level of absurd offenses that some provinces are able to maintain in war.
Then again I shouldn't give the devs ideas...
