Steward Denethor has reclaimed Cairn Andros from the brigands which had occupied it. The river fortress is once again safe. He and his party also ranged further west and encountered a rag-tag orcish force. None lived to retreat back to the Black Gates.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Further south, it appears that while our small fleet proved too weak to be sent into hostile waters and has been scuttled by the Haradrim navy, our land forces severely outmatch the enemy. The rebel island settlement of Goben Tolfalas has been returned to the rule of Minas Tirith, and our third army has surprised the shah of Barad Harn and taken the city by valiant storm.
A large orcish force has been spotted south-west of Osgiliath, and we prepare to defend the city with all the might of our northern armies. The way to Minas Tirith shall be kept secure!
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
While our diplomats seek other free people of Middle Earth, such as the Dwarves, Elves of Lothlorien and the men of the Dale, to convince them to join our war and possibly provide us with gold, weapons, food, iron, leather and cloth. As our armies gather, gold seems to be the most scarce resource available to Steward Denethor.

Meanwhile, the armies of Rohan muster near the walls of the traitorous Wizard Saruman, biding their time for the moment in the hopes that he might expose himself.

A rather uneventful season has passed, but Gondor's northern armies are now concentrated in East Osgiliath and prepare to dispatch any armies of Mordor within the vicinity.
The march to the capital of Haard continues, and Steward Denethor's primary focus within the kingdom has been the improvement of the king's roads from Minas Tirith to the major settlements along the coast.

If memory serves, Mordor can suddenly spew out two or three full stacks, so I'm camping In Osgiliath, since capturing tier 1 settlements will hardly impact my economy and I can't really keep them now as my second army is pushing into Haard. @Visorslash did you wait for your upgraded units to be available? Or you just recruited stuff en-masse? Also, I think I definitely need to upgrade roads and mines to support my kingdom financially, and that requries a pause on investmetns for the time being.

I've been trying to focus my money on roads for the most part, while gathering all my troops to try to snipe Isengard without spawning the garrison.

Gondor up.
The High Elves take a small town and push onward to Argond and Ost in Edhil.
A medium sized Haradrim army and a small band of orcs have been butchered this season. The construction of a new merchant harbour in Pelargir promises an increase in trade along the river.

Isengard has fallen! The traitor Saruman fell in the fighting, (strangely, fighting alone against several hundred men while only attempting to batter us with his staff. Perhaps it was only a decoy.) hopefully never to be heard from again.
The men of the mark now ride east to subdue the evil men he had bound to his cause. We hope to soon join our borders with those of Rivendell.

Ost in Edhil has fallen. The Elves continue to march towards Argond, and the west coast.

Wow, that was fast! @Nightbringer can you explain how you took Isengard without the garrison script triggering? Waiting for an army to spawn by it and attacking that? I want to try and take Minas Morgul that way.

Yeah, thats how you would do it. Wait for an army next to Isengard to spawn, fight it on the map, kill all people.
Its similar what I did to take Ost in Edhil this turn, sent one unit of swords to siege, beat army out on the field but didn't kill em all, they retreated next to the town, lift siege, killed everyone on map, settlement is empty.
That method does work, but I got tired of waiting so I just besieged it and killed the garrison script.
I had 10 general's bodyguard units in the army...

As I found whilst doing my Gondor campaign, enough cavalry just dominates any sort of Mordor army. I often had at least 8 units in a full stack of cavalry.
Archers can perform a similar purpose for Eriador/Elves.
But cavalry on those unique settlement assaults doesn't sound so hot. If I can bait them out in the open - sure. Elven archers are just OP in general.

Isengard is a massive open field inside the walls, so I could easily maneuver my cavalry. And it only actually spawned one unit of pikes, most of it was just sword and board infantry.

More orcs and haradrim men have been defeated. The orcs were butchered, but the men of Haard have been released in exchange for a ransom.

A 2000 strong orcish army has been butchered near Minas Morgul. Another army of the Kingdom of Gondor is headed for the capitol of Haard, but is edging along the coast, dreading to cross the unforgiving desert.
