well, was a great game imo, not the traditional "first one to get a FB urukhai wins end of story"
we both could have won the game, and it was those tiny details, which decided the game, definetly worth a watch/review imho.
not a long game (no isengard mirrors are lol) but longer than the usual boring ones very entertaining and intense with constant fighting. GG
btw: you will see me trying to do WC on my uruks when we are fighting over the mill closest to my base, but i hit the ground north of the field because of lag just wanted to let you know

One of the greatest replays I ever seen, maximum entertainment and non stop action. Yes, had few mistakes but still, an outstanding game play by both. I feel really sleepy right now; I'm going to bed. If I wake up tomorrow and no one tagged it, I will be more than happy to give a review.
Brimestar|TEAM - Isengard - Team ? POW|Glaurung - Isengard - Team ?
"(Uruk Pit + Furnace + one Mill) vs (Uruk Pit + 2 Mills)"
Isengard:
POW|Glaurung:(Started with a Furnace & an Uruk Pit)
+Immediately sending a Laborer to the 2nd settlement. +Nice Build Order. (You start attacking his Uruk Pit while his hordes didn't cross the middle line) +When you saw his 2 Uruk-hai hordes coming, you had one horde in base waiting + tower for extra defense. +When you attacked Mills, you always went for Laborers 1st. ( = Pro) +With your 1st attack when you had Forged Blades, you went for Citadel, so he will not be able to have towers and you knocked down his towers once you saw them. +++ Having that out post in an excellent timing using a bunch of laborers then having a tower up to kill Wargs. (800 is cheaper than rebuilding your Citadel again & faster as well)
-Lost a horde against Wargs middle game. -You had uruks attacking his uruks (his were ranked 2) and only 3 men were left in that horde, then you gave them your back and attacked his coming Rank 1 uruks. (He used that Ranked 2 that you didn't kill later in attacking your base once he had Forged Blades) -When you had Forged Blades and attacked his base with 2 uruks, they got to Rank 2, while he had only 1 level 1 uruks, also, he had nothing but the Citadel rebuilding it self (around 60); it would been a wise thing to do, if you pulled your men back until they regenerate. Not wasting them and give him a free rank 2 uruks. -When he 1st attacked you with his Forged blades, you had 1 uruks next to you Mill doing nothing. -Not selling buildings when he attacked with Forged Blades.
Isengard:
Brimestar|TEAM: (Started with an Uruk Pit)
-Having Uruk Pit in front of your base. -No extra Laborers early game. ---Had two towers up, then, an Uruk Pit in the direct opposite direction of your base. (Having it in between of the towers is a great idea) -Not using formation against the uruks that destroyed your Uruk Pit early game. (They survived and destroyed your Mill as well) -Did the same thing with your Uruk Pit when you rebuild it. (Never used the towers to your advantage) -Not selling your building when he attacked you with Forged Blades. -Didn't attack towers when attacking with Forged Blades.
+/- Sending one Laborer to that out post while having 784 $. (I couldn't stop laughing)
+Selling your Uruk Pit early game. (+150 is always a good thing early game) +Destroying his Citadel. (Early game)

very true, all those mistakes were made because i could only be at one place at the same time
