Overview:
An average game was played here. It was not one of the best games but still not that bad. Magestic^Eagle^ started with an orc rush while Easterling started with lancers. Those lancers owned his orcs like hell and were able to get 3 of his RBs down which was really bad for eagle. Then eagle decided to get some lancers too to get also some RBs down which was successfull and he was even able to get Easterlings upgraded Barracks down with them but then Eagles Haradrim lancers got owned by rivendell lancers and his newly trained Mirks defeated most of Eagles army. Easterling finished the game by Summoning Eagles to get his fort down.

PP - Path: Eye - Tainted Land - Industry BO: SH - SH - Pit - SH - Palace
Not really a great game played by you. The Elven player clearly had the upper hand over you the whole game. Also your first rush wasnt successfull either. Dont use your eye immediatly in the beginning. Wait till you begin to build your 3rd RB and then you cast it. You ll see if he went for Barracks or for Pasture. If you see a pasture you delete your orc pit (When its not build yet) and start with palace. This BO is rly successfull against elves: SH- SH -pit -SH -SH -orc warriors- pit -SH- gothmog. An early gothmog is the key to win this matchup. Keep his units busy with normal orcs till he arrives. If he went for lorien warriors gothmog will own them like hell, but if he went for lancers things are a bit more harder. Get pikes asap then. Gothmog can also deal with them due to his slash dmg but its hard for him to catch up with the speed of lancers. Also rebuild your RBs when they get destroyed. You didnt do that and so you ran out of cash in the end. Place RBs all over the map. Also watch your heroes and builders. Dont sacrafice them needlessly. Retreat them if possible. Last but not least why you build lancers instead of pikes? Rivendell lancers own yours in no time in 1on1 combat. You should have better gotten pikes instead of them.
Tips for improvement
Dont use your Eye immediatly. Use it when you began to build your 3rd RB and you ll know how to counter his units
Use that BO against elves: SH - SH - Pit - SH - SH - Pit - SH - Gothmog
Dont sacrifice your builders/heroes needlessly. Retreat them in time
Dont get lancers to counter his rivendell lancers. Yours dont stand a change against them

PP - Path: Rallying Call - Elven Mist - Summon Eagle BO: Tree - Tree - Pasture - Tree
Your game play wasnt that bad. Your first rush was pretty good and you had the upper hand for the whole game. But still you made some mistakes that shouldnt happen. First dont build your barracks that far away from your fort. When you build it so far away your fort isnt able to defend it with its arrows and so you lost your upgraded barracks needlessly. Next time remember not to do that. Also dont run with your lancers into pikes. You lost so many needlessly cause of that. but your main mistake was not to expand well. You just had 3 RBs the whole game and thats a way too less. Place them all over the map and you wont run out of cash so easily. But still it was not so bad played
Tips for improvement
Dont build your Barracsk so far away from your fort
Dont run with your lancers into pikes
Expend more. Place RBs all over the map
Overall Rating:3/10
