This match wasnt very long, probably due to the lack of any haradrim OR rhun. My own weaknesses in this match were not noticing the siege he attempted at the end And the bad use of eagles (fodder 4 his siege towers)

death2them (Gondor) BO: Farm, Blacksmith, Pippin -> Mid-farms -> Stable -> HS -> Fara/Archers +good use of starting soldiers +harassed decently -little focus on creeping... even waiting to get a Nazgul Mordor still got half the creeps that were destroyed (neither of you ever touched the Troll lairs) +early MC -slow HS Rush, especially considering he got a Naz in time to stop you -when first attacking his Naz, fired a warning-Wounding Arrow -didn't push the advantage after killing both Nazgul... gave him lots of time to build up -no HA on Archers? -surrendered MC to Mordor
SqualLeonhart BO: Orc Pit + SH -> Mill -> Full SHs -> Naz Trio -> Troll/Cata spam -Sent orcs in one at a time -Placed TL knowing that Gondor had EW (x3) -could have been easily HS rushed -1 Orc Pit, no other buildings = DEATH MINUS- BOUGHT DEVASATION -killed your own trolls with catapults -lost a Drummer Troll to a cave troll -didn't kill the troll lairs +broke into his base, but didn't siege well
Strat: 1/10 Micro: 1/10 Overall Mordor Rating: 1
Summary: Basically, Gondor should have won much earlier. A HS rush, FU Gondor Archers, pushing the advantage after Mordor only had the WK with half health... none of these things were done, or done before they were easily stoppable. I fast forwarded through around half of it... I think I missed a fight because I knew what would happen
I'd refer both players to the Strategy forums on GameReplays, but it's early in the patch. I'm guessing that a fair amount of strat/micro issues is simply playing a new game basically

Yeah, id say I played quite bad in that. I wasnt surprised that horses are a much less efficient at taking out citadels but I underestimated the changes, and so I payed with appauling starting rush
And the bad use of eagles (fodder 4 his siege towers)
