Start 4Furnace - 2 on sides of fortress, one behind it, and one hidden. Build your Uruk Pit behind one of the furnaces. Build Sentry directly behind your fortress, so it can protect the 3furns and uruk pit. Build your Pike and creep the Troll, nearest your base. Then spam corsairs from it.
You can build a second uruk pit or a warg pit after your second uruk if you want, that's optional.

Goblins won't normally check the troll lair until after you've creeped it. Other Isengard strategies have just as little protection as this one, if not worse. You can probably have your xbow at the creep before you're finished if you want to anyway. Even if they do creep steal, it isn't that big of a deal because you started with four furnaces anyway.
It isn't worth creeping the troll though. You get it with like 5 guys left in your bat and then you have to micro then around the get all the chests cuz of the rocks, which can take a while.

In other Isengard strategies you'll usually be attacking. All of the goblin warriors will be on their way towards you because they don't need any for protection. They might creep steal.
How much do you get from the troll? isnt it like 800?
Isnt a sentry 450? Then 450 for the isen pike, thats quite an investment tbh sure it can defend your 3 rbs for some of the game but meh idk. Sounds interesting though. And then you are also delaying your wargpit too, by investing in the inn units/units from your uruk pit too.

I think wargs are better in this mu than sentries. You are gonna need wargs anyway and I would rather get them earlier so that I can use them to harass. 4 furn ownz gobs tbh. You just have to be agressive and creep with your first and/or second unit from rax.
Oh and creeping is much safer when you have wargs on the map for backup.
This might be better if you cant micro wargs though.
It is possible for Gobs to destroy at least 2 furns before you can get a Warg out with 4 furn. They should at least get one everytime. Do 3Furn Warg Rush instead of 4furn; gobs won't have pikes anyway so you don't need instant unit mix.
