nice game. i also disagree with 1 pit, but maybe 2 pit is sufficient. also agree with the tree comment but didnt matter by that stage tbh.
in regards to sages strat, he made a few mistakes earlyish in the match (like uruk chasing gollum and not microing top uruk to kill orc properly) but his strat and micro were very nice in the mid-late game.
i was watching for isen strat and noticed some other errors by sage like keeping armory for ages, but it really was a well played game
watched game and tbh armory was kept for donkeys years lol asome xbow micro from sage saving his ranked bows
n to blue WTFOMG what kind of play was that lol honestly. only thing u had gd was your naz micro i reckon but even then u cud of done ebter with that lol
Strategy: Uruk Spam to Zerks, Ups To xbow Spam With Lurtz
Pros: +Extra Laborers +Good harassment +Map control secured +good use of xbows to stop numerous orcs making attempts to harass
Cons: -Had armory up for a lonnng time, get rid of that garbage asap -Lost Lurtz very stupidly -Could have mixed in swords with those xbows sooner to end the game
Comments: Very well played by Sage. You harassed very well, and kept Mordor from killing your mills early game, and got his. Your blade rush failed because he got a troll at the perfect time lol. The minute you saw him get a troll you went for upgraded archers and went troll hunting, and kept his number of trolls down. Only thing you could have done better this game was on your first few attacks on mordor's base would have been to throw in 1-2 uruks, because towers were owning ur xbows .
Strategy: Orcs to Trolls to Nazgul, combos with drummers
Pros: +Extra labs +Ate an orc with troll +Good nazgul micro
Cons: -orcs idle at lost mill for like 5 minutes -Should have gotten at least 1 more pit, your harassment wasn't that good because of this -Wasted darkness when he had rain in effect
Comments: You played alright, but clearly got outplayed. Your lack of multiple orcs pits gave Isenagrd an easy time defending, and it wasn't that hard for him to hit your mills. You got a troll out just in time, and stopped his blade rush. Then you lost a few trolls to xbows, and he used rain and your army couldn't fight back after that. Your Nazgul micro was good though, if only you managed to get another 1 out...
Overall Rating: 4
General Notes on the game: Mordor vs ISen where Isen outplayed Mordor, and hurt his economy, while keeping his own intact save for a few laborers. Mordor made an attempt to use only 1 pit, therefore his harassment was lacking this game. Isen's blade rush failed due to the troll, then he switched to FU xbows to deal with trolls. Isen got rain after mordor, however Mordor was not in a position to cast it, and Isen used it to own Mordor's army, and there was nothing he could do about it.
I needed the constant xbow spam from my pit(s) to ensure that trolls/his orc archers wouldnt beat me in battle. You seriously dont know what you are talking about if you thought I could've done anything differently at that point in the game Only mistake I did was not selling armory, o great an extra +15 every so often definately a game changer.
