easy there . I finally watched this game and tbh it was a major let-down.
Mordor isen combo vs dbl rohan should always win easily imo. There are many options and in mid game, if played well, u will have a distinct advantage in terms of 'tech tree' over your rohan opponents which is when u have to make a move (i.e. before heavy armor and aragorn u can have naz + lurtz + FU pikes and uraki). The evil sides strategy was very poor.
There was no decent landspam.
The mordor player was clearly not at home with the faction. his early game cashfloating was ridiculous every time having twice the amount of money needed for 1 SH, when building one. Then why take 3 mills if u're gonna cashfloat u'll get trolls at the same time as with 2. U did excell at camping and cata laming though
Then isen.... His Bo was so noob. 1 mill, pit furn start. slowest upgrades ever. And you could see right before he died that his plan was to go straight to combos . All u needed was lurtz + some FU pikes hich u could have had before fate has fire and hunt down theoden. Then get some dbl industry for quick saruman.
I LOVED how maia and fate realized this and just went for the Isen base ignoring the evil sides 'game plan' by putting pressure on their opponents.
The evil side simply had no understanding of strategy/pace/base rushes/pressure. going middle was a very bad choice. well not considering the circumstances that tucke demanded 3 mills. but just as the epitome of how bad a mordor/isen combo can be played.
nice undeserved win though. BFME gone bad imo

I have to disagree with you Veer, the strat we used for the game was for mordor to take 3 mills and get OP asap. When they were double rohan i knew exaclty what strat they'd play and they played it very well. The plan was for tucke to hold them off with his OP army and insane economy whilst i could just get my economy up and going and then produce combos and it would be GG. If tucke hadn't cashfloated and had been more helpful defending me we would of won easily and it would't have even been posted lol.Unfortunately i couldn't hang on though but still the strat worked because tucke's economy was insane and won the game for us. I knew the best chance we had was if i left and gave tucke my money. I wasn't expecting him to win, and he just went silent in ts for ages and just announced that he'd won. B2P played very well though but tucke should of done more with his trolls and siege to defend me tbh. He made up for it by winning though the twat And HFD was the best smurf in the history of 1.03, we had over 95% win and no one had a clue who we were. But then someone found out and the whole community knew within days. I miss my Christoph.
Lol tucke doesn't mean that ignore him And i was on ts with tucke the other day and we discussed this replay. I flamed him for letting me die and he was adamant that i told him to concentrate on killing them rather than defending me. It was a worthy sacrafice though.
