Overview: This was a pretty good game, Mordor didn't look all too expirienced in this MU at first, but he got better as the game went on, Isen took an advantage with fast grades, and eventually seiged and won, but Mordor made it interesting.
Major(Isen)
Pretty solid game from you, not many mistakes here, you pressured his base and economy well early and had upgrades quickly. One thing you did a little wrong was waiting for 2 FU uruks to rush his cage. Try and get this done with your 1st uruk, then follow up the 1st uruks with more FU uruks untill he is gone. After that you adapted quickly and put Xbows all over the map, and then got banner and fire out to them. This really gave you the advantage as he had nothing to fight mass Xbows at that point. You then pressed to a seige and finished him off, although he did mke it interesting. Here are a few more tips:
Get armor on your Xbows sooner imo, you might have faired better in the 1st major fight and been able to press on to his base if your Xbows had armor on.
Guard your ballistas better, losing them to orcs was painful to watch.
Make extra laborers at both mills, your closest mill only had 4 and his gollum raped it once he got there.
PayBack(Mordor)
Not to shabby a game from you, just some correctable mistakes. First off, once you get your mills, send gollum straight to his mills. He doesn't have enough laborers to defend at this point, and he will have to get more laborers, slowing down the pace at which his uruks come out. Continuing from there, if you can't see the 1st uruk of his that got his mills, expect a rush, and get the tower up before he gets there. From here you defended and harassed until trolls and managed to repel his FU uruk rushon your cage. At this point you had a brief strategic advantage: he had put alot of money into those uruks, and he didn't have many crossbows around yet, you needed to work on creeping with your trolls then, just keep orcs next to them and don't arm them and if xbows show up, run away with your orcs and heal your troll as nessesary. You gave him alot of creeps by not taking any for yourself, and this didn't help you much. After that you got your troll spam going, but you failed to make a drummer for quite a while. Had he had armor on his Xbows for that first fight when you had no drummer, you may have been in trouble. After that his Xbows were everywhere and you couldn't send trolls out alone for MC, so you had to face him one on one in battle, and he got the better of you in the end. Here are some other tips:
Make sure you keep your orc spam up to harass his mills, his MC went too uncontested.
Delete your 2nd pit sooner, so you get the full discount on trolls.
Get banner carrier for your combos, and don't buy lone orc archer battalions, save those CP for trolls. 3 combos should be enough.
