I guess you know, but you had the economic upper hand early, and you decide to go for Gothmog. You needed more units at that point. Try making 2 extra pits (you only had 2), and get black orcs from a lvl2 one.
I'm not sure spamming those haradrim lancers at that stage was a good idea. He had eomer and cav (you knew), which is clearly superior. Rather save for more orc+easterling spam, haradrim archers, fellbeast or black riders.
Daryl did better expanding on the flanks, despite your army being 'spammier'.
Place lumber mills as close as possible to trees, they earn significantly more money that way. (you had to purchase like 5 extra workers now)
You had plenty of ways to get leadership, and didn't use eye of Sauron for a while. Try scouting his farms with it, then your harassment will be much better.
Try to evade Tom Bombadil. I know it sucks, but he earned your opponent some serious PPs for that sonic song.
Don't idle with spells like Barricade. Just spawn it somewhere (near a a ford, or on an occupied flank).
You had a lvl3 siege works (because BR). If you're going heavy on black orcs+easterlings, it might be handy to invest in forged blades. Use them like torches on wildmen. Ie. do not upgrade all your units, just when they get to your enemy's base. This can transform any harassing party into a huge, immediate threat (possibly take some PBs or a fortress even).
Your opponent had 4 leveled up farms near his base (you saw them). You could have taken them if you just sent in your Black Riders at some point.
Once Gandalf is out, definitely get upgrades.
Pretty decent game. Both players did expand and harass. Nobody got to 1000CP, I don't think. Also: I loved MoS crushing some lvl5 archers, immediately leveling up 2x xD
Thx for tips, ngl I wasn't playing this game serious cos i knew Daryl doesn't play 2.02 much, at the point i got gothmog i just felt comfortable enough in the game to sacrifice spam, my eco was pretty safe for whole game. Don't know why i didn't scout that was poor as well as farm expansion. Didn't really think about upgrades but that is interesting will keep in mind next time.
Okay thanks for the advice! And i made Eomer because he got this scavenger-like power wich i thought would be usefull against mordor since they got low HP orcs wich are easilly killed for cash. But I don't know if it was smart or nah
Dont u know still after game ended? I would say it was terrible decision. U needed at least some cav to provide them with Eomers leadership. Also u need him to maybe counter some beasts as trolls or some cav. U have to lvl up him to get scavenger, its his last ability and its like a bonus, not a main purpose of getting him(if its not tw ofc:)), cause he must be usefull from lvl 1 not lvl 7. Thats why we dont buy Ara for example only for oathbreakers ability.
