Was a gg. This is one of my favorite matchups as Isengard. Was about to possibly take the advantage as I had saved up a bit of money and finally was going to be able to spend them with upgrades. Then he snuck some CT to my fort . Haven't watched it so I'm not sure if there were many mistakes, although none blatant that I saw.[attachmentid=277427]

Version: BTP 1.7
Overview:
A fast action, constant action, action all over game. Strategy started with goblin spam whilst fabled tried to get in some lickings with an uruk rush, as well as defend with fast x-bows. The battle swayed back and forth, with fabled getting early game advantage especially with Power Points. A somewhat ill planed use of wildmen took that advantage away and the goblin+half troll+ cave troll spam strategy was using started to push fabled back. Fabled got together some groups of pikes, crossbows, lurtz, and wargs and made pushes up the middle, whilst Strategy upped to spyderlings and riders and sent them out to harass furnaces with their great speed. Fabled still had a good econ and got watcher early, but didn’t really get anything out of it’s use, and seemed to waste wildmen again. Saruman arrived on the field and upgrades were being teched when a sneak attack of 2 cave trolls brought fabled’s fort to a sliver of health, only being saved by lurtz and saruman’s fireball, which was a very close call. However, it wasn’t long before good wildmen and watcher use by strategy brought the fort down. Fabled tried to hold his remaining base but eventually succumbed to spam from 5 goblin production buildings. Overall a very action packed game with some nice battles.

new replay system , u can either get a full review(lesser palyers may use for improvement) or jsut an overview of the match and a rating(for the ppl that are only looking for a replay promotion)
lately isens had a really hard time with this mu. IDK why it swung so badly. But all of a sudden i havent seen a single isen keep up with goblins. WP.
I think its probaly due to GA's being used more and more. And that gives goblins a pretty big weapon that used to not really be used much if at all
Does Isen even have a good MU atm?
Early game against MotW maybe a slight advantage during the first few minutes. And I've liked playing against Dwarves but I don't think Isen would really have an advantage.
