I didn't enjoy this game. As a mordor fan I just couldn't watch the way viking-loke (mordor) play. All he did was orcs orcs and orcs, which is not a bad idea if you know how to handle them.
THE most important thing when going for massive orc army strategy is to plan how to PAVE THEIR WAY to their destination. for example - send pikes with them to counter cavalry or naz to clear soldiers/gobos/whatever or use magic to clear their way because orcs can get stuck easily and then get eliminated, because unlike gobos, they cant realy hurt the soldiers they are fighting against, they are meant to be used against buildings (even if the orcs manage to hurt units, these units/heroes can always escape easily from the orcs before they die).
Loke builds massive army, then got stuck for an hour on stupid units on his way to his destination, this gives raziel and minorca plenty of time to recharge magics and make units and expansions and prepare to stop them from getting to the fort area. he just did it over and over, again and again, regardless of the game situation and the units that his opponents have. Spamming upgraded crosairs would have gained map control and cripple his enemies easily, and loke had the economy to pull this, but he chose the pure orc strategy with very poor management. In my terms, he actually did nothing the whole game and this was a very nice 2vs1 game.
Although his mate sucked (imo) , car mclaren (gob) played an amazing game and at some point I thought he could win this game for both of them, but this works only when you play against noobs which wasn't the case.
