I decided to 1v1 cw MauHur with a faint hope of improving, this was our first game on fun newer map "West Emnet II" ... Fords of Isen II is for nabs, spread the word
Very long and with high level stuff like lv 10 Noldor Warriors, heroes and all powers!
I've watched the game, I don't think I have much to say.
I think the spam in this game was poor resulting in low action game.
Map had plenty mountains and obstacles that made ground units less effective. Getting that Fortress Eagle soon would help you to break completely his economy as it would be hard for him to hunt it down.
Why you were so obsessed in getting Noldors instead of Mirks? I think a proper mix and constant spam of Mirks with Sentries would have made the battles much easier for you. Personal opinion, Noldors slowed you down very much.
You were quite slow on your Power Points. I guess you couldn't decide which one to take each time? I would have gone for both Eagles and Ents before moving to their 25pp but Cloudbreak seemed to work for you.
I woulda thought Fort Eagle would kinda fail early on, he had fast Harad Archer + Mouth Evil Eye and it takes many hits for Eagle to kill farm. I think they best as instakill vs cata that's why I waited. I suppose I could try to micro Eagle away constantly but would be annoying, but later on Eagle was useful vs cata as well so I got it.
I like Noldor bc they can be fairly sturdy, cant be debuffed (mos) and I enjoy leveling them up, they worked cuz they got to lv10. Only reason they died was 25pp power crushed them.
Basic mirk + pike spam is best (especially with ups) which is what I did after.
Ye we couldn't spam much, I didn't have many farms at some points and prob same for mauhur. I thought that was kinda fun that we both did good damage and even in late game couldn't have massive armies always, but ye wasn't constant giant clash, but was back and forth skirmishes.
Ents are pretty bad vs Mordor cause fire cata, I like Cloudbreak bc it allowed me to farm xp and snipe his double buffed haradrim armies + mouth debuff which can slaughter elf armies fast. I wasn't in a rush to win bc I could easily slip up, fail and lose vs mauhur.

That's strange, I found this game to be full of action and plenty of comebacks.
The Eagle could have been useful, but not essential. The high LVL MoS could have countered him.
Why should people do the same strats all over again? I liked and was surprised how early he got Noldors and I liked how he played a bit different than usual Mirkwood spamming.
anyway, regardless of the outcome, is hard for mordor fight vs elves for many reason... can't use mumk, fellbeast and gotmog can't kill so many hero
ye Mordor vs Elf is very tough, need heavy focus on Haradrim units...Easterling, Corsair, Harad Archer Everything else: fellbeast (dead vs mirk), black rider (dead vs glorf and weak vs all the unit stuns Elves have, but possibly effective earlier game), Attack Troll (dead vs mirk), Mumak (good vs clump but not vs Eagle or Mirk spam) only thing I can think of is unmounted WK being somewhat useful along with haradrim palace unit spam, Mouth of Sauron, then fast haradrim upgrades (fire arrow and armor).
