This was an exciting game in which my opponent played well. I think it's also a good game for people interested in this mu to see the strats. Review would be much appreciated.

Starting positions:
Isengard/}SoC{SuRg3oN - East
Mordor/sfom|Bandit - West

Overview:

A very nice Isen vs Mordor game, especially from isen point of view - a solid performance. Isen had control early on and mordor played very well to keep the game going as long as it did. However in the end saruman, lurtz level 5 and rain proved just too much for mordor. GG guys.

Isengard/}SoC{SuRg3oN

You played a very nice game, many sneaky base rushes delayed mordors trolls a great deal and allowed you to build the army that you needed. GJ
  • An earlier tower might be a good idea (before labourers) you can always cancel it before it is built if it is not neccessary.
  • A little too much fighting with orcs early on - he can replace them for free, yours cost money.
  • zerk rush, was good but might have been better to go for mills once you realised he had lots of towers. IMO quite lucky to kill citadel
  • Need a strong cata counter (Uruks/Wargs)


Mordor/sfom|Bandit

You need to be a bit more productive with your orcs early game, think about gaurding mills with orcs rather than chasing uruks that are faster between mills. Spam your orcs all over the map and harrass and creep. You can kill a lair with just 3 orcs, just lure the wargs away with one. However you did creep rather well but sent all your units some of which could have harassed elsewhere. You did very well to keep the game as long as you did considering how long it was till you got your troll cage.
  • Leave orcs and mills and gaurd, instead of chasing uruks betweem them.
  • I wouldnt recommend getting archers before drummers htey arent strong enough
  • Dont use darkness straight after rain. It doesnt cancel it but is simply as how rain cancels leadership you wont get a buff from darkness. Wait 3 mins for rain to wear out.

Okay I have to untag this because its bugged for me. I’ve watched part of it 8 times, and every time it’s different. Its isens zerk rush, I don’t know wtf is going on but I’ve seen that zerk rush go 8 different ways. So something’s wrong with the replay so I cant really review it. And on top of that I’m getting kicked from my comp for a few days.
