Ok, here goes a review by me: StuntedAzrael smile.gif

Overview:

Skilled match between isen and mordor. Isen is from the start very aggressive and soon takes the initiative which doesn't let go through the match. Mordor's eventual downfall is lack of economy by not having map control. A good watch for sure, there is always something to see.

[LoS]ScOuT - Isen - Top spot

PP route: war chant -> industry -> rain

Your build order was good. I wouldn't have used my first wc to defend. Your wc uruks didn't save your pit. So I would go just plain uruks to defent and wc uruks for harassing mills. Your rushes after that were good, timing also good, wc was used almost immediately when it became available. After your second rush in which you had 2 zerks, you have managed to down all sloughters but 2 and forced him to tower up. I anticipated another uruk rush with blades to finish him off since he didn't have economy for trolls. Your creeping was good and that gave you enough money and PP's to buy all upgrades and rain for one last attack.

Tips for improvement:
  • Use wc offensively
  • Arrange your furnaces so you can use industry power on 3 of them.
  • Watch your crossbows while creeping

[U4F]uruks* - Mordor - Bottom spot

PP route: eye -> land -> industry

I believe your biggest mistake is going with starting orcs for his pit. I would split orcs going for his mills since this is source of Isen economy early game. Even if you took only his labourers it would be an advantage since he can't spam uruks and zerks that fast allowing you to get breathing room and to mass orcs for harassing and creeping. His economy whole early game was intact. You have tried harassing with Gollum but he countered it easly.
You defended well when rushed. In mid game after his rushes I would have gone creeping with your remaining orcs, your economy was in awful state. This is sometimes more important than going for his economy. In the end you took only 1 creep. You spammed land to force him to buy land and it didn't work. He got rain and crushed you. This game imho was decided within first 2 minutes.

Tips for improvement:
  • Focus on his economy immediately.
  • Concetrate tower fire on zerks first when rushed.
  • Creep with orcs when he gave you breathing time.
  • Use groups of 2-3 orc batts harassing to divert his forces.
  • Put trees on trolls. (altough you probably knew it was over by then)

Overall rating: 5 (high five)

Ok, done. Constructive flames only please. biggrin.gif
