But really, Kata, it's just not likely for a huge population growth like that in Middle-earth. It's completely outrageous! Depopulation from the plague was one of the reasons Gondor fell! And in Arnor, if the population was so great (and since the Arnorians all had more training than Orcs), there's no reason that they couldn't defeat the Witch-king. And if these are battles from the videogame BFME's expansion, RotWK, then the numbers should be DIMINISHED, because there's no way you could finish a game with that amount of soldiers.
