Here is a "not so textbook" Mordor mirror between me and TooN|Tets.
I was surprised that he had enough econ to recover well after I took out his first 2 settlements, and then surprised again when he threw SoRhun at me and had pretty good success. He actually had me on the run (well, retreat/regroup) until I decided to flank his army and attempt a killing blow.
He made a few mistakes, especially at the end, which I believe was his undoing. He had a hard time believing he had been beaten, considering he had won the first 2 major battles between us.

This battle could have been over way earlier if one of you had made a move and bought 2 naz and WK. It wouldve ended it so much faster. That has got to be a negative in the review.
Either of you could have gotten Devastation, which would have brought you lots of extra cash if that was the problem. I think its even better money than Scavenger.
Interestingly enough, Devastation must be the most underused ability I've seen. If you had to buy the ability to summon Balrog, what price would make it balanced?
SYNOP: Mutualy Assured Destruction or MAD, is a throw back from the Cold War. If you kill me, I'm going to kill you kinda thing. This match reminded me of that...
Mach] BO; 1 Pit and 1 Twr
-Use laborers to kill Gollum, he was a pain in your side -Should of finished off warg creep on other side of river instead of chasing his orcs down -Miss some bldg sells
+/-Should of considered getting OPs, no factor
+Got 1st mill kill and good attk of his econ +Nice idea to combo bows (fire) with orcs --However needed some reg orcs during your 1st assault
Tets] BO; 1 Furnace, 1 pit & 1 twr
-Keep your pit back, i think this match highlighted why it needs to be that way
+/-Needed the OPs sooner a lil bit b4 you lost your keep
+Good use of Gollum to attk econ +Nice tainted land trumps +Rhun were helpful with firebows
OVERALL: Now, I'm not all wrapped up (usually) on what you spend your evenstar points on. This boiled down to who can strike first and who can strike at the right time. Mach had Tets rolling defensive in the beginning and by the time Tets was ready to attk, Mach was also and it boiled down to who can kill whos base first....MAD....
RATE: 7/10
I'm on the fence on this one.....But I'll tip it over...... SILVER
