I just played an amazing game. I was playing isengard (alias isenman) vs the ladder nr19 mordor. As usually I faced early game difficulties vs mordor. At some point the mordor player even said gg to me, because he tought he had won. NOT!!!!! . He made a big mistake by using darkness first! I could counter with rain and suddenly his witchking and drummers became useless and I fought back . There are some more minor mistakes in game, he didnt attack my mill and started creeping late, but this is definitly 1 to watch, and it ends in style by the balrog . Games like this are never error free

Just watched it, amazing how you held out with those 2 xbows, sending uruks to cripple econ. The constant preassure would've caused lesser player to just quit. Good work throughout the game, managed to keep xbow batts alive even vs catas.
He thought he'd won with those trolls, catas and orcs in your almost beaten base, but you him.
To the victor go the laurels!
Good work mate, imo a silver at the least

Man i think this deservses a gold. I think double orc pit from a pro is really hard to beat in isen. Although xbows reload time is ridiculous, you used the early two xbows very well. The mordor player also gets some credit, he had a very nice mixture of armies, catapults annoying you whole time, and very good use of witchking, he just needed a bit more catapults...
Only thing I should comment on is invoking rain, it should be done as counter as soon as you can!.
OK, asked some m8s to review, since no one took it, I'll review and will be impartial. Thanks for your thoughts joujou, btw mordor had darkness first, 10 secs later Isengard got rain and invoked it right away, second invocation of rain asap and that made it more difficult to win. I still tend toward silver, but will watch once more and give a full review.

However, second darkness invocation rain was not started until 1/4 past darkness reload time, and one of the last darkness invocation made mordor past half way reload time ahead in darkness. Even though they had the same reload time.

true, i forgot he didnt attack me at that moment and i was buzy enough (so didnt pay attention to that). But youre right, i was lucky this was not a costly mistake (which it should have been).
Yes iam sure! ZH is the best strat game in my oppinion. However at the moment iam going for bfme. after 2 years of ZH game has nothing to offer anymore
