Well, I did some more analyzing after that battle and I realized that Morannon orcs are very powerful and have 20 units per horde (iirc). They probably need some balance adjustments.

Mordor also win for half with gathering resource(Lumber Mills,Slaughter House) and spamming orc horde.

Archers are the way to beat Mordor

And Rob's not the only one who lost because of cave trolls xD

Well oblivion took Market faster than Rob so he will get resource faster than rob.

Just watched it myself.http://www.the3rdage.net/

I think Rob is right about Morrannon orcs, the knockback is too good for a 350 unit. I also think the bottom player has an advantage on that map, because they can just run by one of the lairs to get to an an outpost, whereas the top player has to take both out.


Otherwise, it was fairly well played. Rob should have made some combo hordes for cheaper upgrades, and oblivionator was sitting on like 4-5k half the game and doing nothing with it. I would have gotten a couple nazguls with that

I laughed a little when the drummer troll got lit on fire

I watched..poor Rob if it isn't because of that cave-troll

Lol, ah poor Bilbo...

Yeah, I just slipped past the wargs to get to the outpost, the cave troll was a little trickier.
Cash-floating is a bad habit of mine with Mordor. I don't know what to do with the resources, but usually I'll just build another fortress, recruit the Witch-king, or purchase Morgul Sorcery, then Gorgoroth Spire. I find that I don't recruit the Nazgul that often, mainly because I think their expensive, die easily, and take a long time to recruit/revive. But then, they cost like 0 or 500 resources to revive, so that probably makes up for it.

I always forget about combo hordes. Never used them in BFME1.
