If you were vs Asba he a really strong 2v2 player.

I haven't watched replay yet so I'm not really commenting on your play or giving tips, I'm just discussing my own experience.

Isen vs Ang is annoying for me too, I want to make Uruk start work. Steading is just so vulnerable to fast wolf and dire wolf. But Steading and fast Pit still the safer start with some xbows to help dfend early and snipe later numenoreans.

I like Wild + Uruk-Hai combos early on cuz Uruks last ages unless he gets dark numenoreans. This would mean having less xbows (don't like much vs ang anyway I mean they just prey to wind combos, like elf loriens).

I do mostly infantry with mixed uruk-hai, some xbows (not too many cuz uruk hai are nice early), and wargs to get those nab rhudaur pikes to appear. Once I have all those I can get hero like lurtz. To snipe ranger and just be useful.

I wanna make Uruk Pit start work (it may even be the better choice vs ang that goes fast wolf and dire wolf tactic) but it kinda hard to not be outspammed.

Wildmens as Meatshield and then just xbow/pike from pit. I feel like if ang goes wolfs its way easier for isen cuz he will get outspammed. The hardest ang isen games ive had are always vs gunda+axe spam. If he makes wolfs I find it quite easy to kill enemy PBS with pike+wilds with flames
And like bushit said. Its ok to add some wargs to harash so ang has to make pikes. Wilds eat ang pikes
And I like second uruk pit over any isen hero vs ang. The spam is real from x2 uruk pit + x1 clansteading

A few simple mistakes in the earlygame threw you too far behind, pretty easy ones to find if you rewatch the game.
You built your 4th furnance too early which delayed your pikes. It's ok go get Xbows as first Uruk bat vs. Ang cause they are better at dealing with harassing Gundabads but after you should only be getting pikes.
It's important to press most use out of these small Wildmen+Pike groups vs. this style so they buy as much time as possible.
You shouldve propably killed the outpost with your 1st pikes cause that is a massive boost for Ang, who are generally pretty poor with a Wolf-build, especially since he summoned two Wolfriders.
Also I think your PBs didnt cover their furnance so you lost it fairly early. If you had this nice wall of Clansteading and Uruk Pit in the front you couldve just retreated behind it when these Wolfriders were killing 2 Wilds+Xbows.
Once you lost 2 more Furnances shortly after it was pretty much over.
