I was mordor. Watched the replay, fun game. I learned many things and i am currently evolving strategy every day. I have a better understanding of the meta now and feel kinda comfortable with mordor. What i would do today (instead of this game lol): 1) Not make blackriders this fast or not make them at all. Probably not even make siegeworks. 2) Transition into a mix of drummer trolls, haradrim archers and orc archers with fire arrows. Also make Morgomir or Khamul to contest drogoth and screech away potential spider riders. 3) Less catapults and more archers. 4) The 10pp barricade is kinda bad and if taken should probably position them MUCH better and upgrade fire arrows from fortress. Industry is probably much better, however you delay the Balrog. 5) Take all the 5pp mordor has to contest Drogoth better, even take Darkness to buff archers.
I feel this patch archers are mega strong. Will probaby keep playing mordor until next month and i will try another faction. Also whats the point of going random if its revealed for the opponent? The idea of random i guess was that opponent had no idea what they are playing against at the expense of getting a random faction and not the one you could prefer. This is very relevant if one is playing dwarves. Dwarves dont want opponent to know they are dwarves. This change to revealed random i dont feel it.
