I donīt know but if you start without the furn and gollum instead itīs really easy for isen to get you money dead Especially if isen starts with 2 furn + pit.
And as you might know i like to improvise in lot of games - so this time i tried this way. I trust my feeling for the game here if stuff might work or not
Please don't say it's really easy to counter, because I know it is But if I know it's isen and isen knows I'm mordor, the best start imo if your predecting first uruk forwards, usually from pit/furn/furn, then you start pit/tower/gollum and both your orcs check out his base and see if you can take out a furn with eye, gollum goes to isens top mill and takes it. Vs forwards uruks you usually have it long enough to pay for another mill/resource building (the only mill imo which is guarenteed to let you do that by taking it early vs first uruk forwards). And so long as you don't do it too often, it can really confuse isen players at the start . Doing this you also can usually take a furn down, if isen is sloppy with his tower placement, sticks up tower too late, so you got a massive early advantage then. (p.s. this has worked for me vs good players)
