Ok game but Gerrard you should have finished this in about a quarter of the time. Don't cash float vs mordor - you had complete mc, loads of money but only a handful of units. In this situation go 2 or even 3 pits and continually pressure him. You just kept allowing him to rebuild an army with no eco which made the game frustrating to watch at parts.

Also make a few combos of your own imo, xbows get raped by orc combos. A few wargs can be useful late game too vs catas.

he started spamming catas very early made it impossible for me 2 touch his base, and the was the main reason for not making combos, cause they r slow.

Gerrard vs Wegway
Isengard vs Mordor

Isengard:
Played quite well, but struggled to get destroys mordor's base. On the micro side there were also things to improve. The main reason that this became a "trashing" game (meaning spamming units into death) was because you retreated very few units. Like reklaw said, dont stick with one pit when you have whole MC. Multiple pits or multiple siege works could do the job. Trying to sneak some mines on the other side of the base while attacking would also cost him the match and you would have lost fewer units. If you ever get almost full MC take the outposts and make sure he doesnt have any mills, one mill can get quite a lot money during the game. Use of PP's was good.
A berserker rush would have stopped the game a lot sooner, but isn't always "fun". smile.gif

Key things here were not retreating units and not making units in mass while you could.

Mordor:
It was quite hard, but you managed to survive for a long time. Your early mid game was pretty good. Well balanced divisions, but unfortunately not powerful enough and you were driven into your base. Nazguls could have helped you if you would make a run for it after building some trolls. (expensive and not the best option, but that doesnt exist for mordor tongue.gif ) Trying to take the outpost was good, trying to get the other one too, without isengard noticing it would have been better. You did not touch isengard's base at all, you could have send some orcs to his mills to distract him and trying to get those mills. Your gameplay is based on defending, moving your army to the enemy's base would put more pressure on your enemy and distracting him so you could take the map with some orcs or trolls. Balrog fight in the end was nice biggrin.gif

Key here would be more multitasking and be more offensive.
