Hi there,

Me vs Sammy what a great game this was a few mistakes on both parts (mine mainly) but he defended ever so well on the 1st attack on his base then after i attacked again Sammy lost his army due to Eagles. Isen's warg pit went down early and if that didnt go i think i would have lost besides great game! no flaming in this topic please....

Thanks Jase

Starting positions:
Gondor/^S1N1ST3R^ - top
Isengard/DiabIo - bottom

Overview:

A match where Gondor quickly takes initiative and it never lets go. Both players knew their strategies well however Isen failed to execute it properly. Game should have ended earlier if Gondor played aggressively. All in all, game was pretty one-sided.


Gondor/^S1N1ST3R^

PP route: Land - Heal - GtW - Elves - Eagles

Your strat was good, no problems there. I personally would have send soldiers through the middle. You did everything right however you need to be more aggressive and harass his base often. HS rush can be devastating especially if you couple it with elves. Game winner imo. Good job at keeping MC. Also, don't understand why didn't you buy blades? With blades you can resist wargs far better than without. Well played.

Improvements:
  • Your first knight batt almost got owned by wc uruks. Don't trample them.
  • Your HS rush should be faster. Buy elves as soon as possible.
  • It's OK to do more than one HS rush.
  • What's with the blades? You don't like them? smile.gif Buy them, they are useful.
  • Gandalf was repeatedly crippled. Watch for Lurtz.
  • Watch were your trebs are firing. Lots of frendly fire losses.
Isengard/DiabIo

PP route: Warchant - Land - Palantir - Industry - Devastation

You knew what to do that's for sure but work on practicing. Use your uruks, don't let them stand around. Go for his farms. Try next time to get wargs before upgrades if Gondor goes fast soldiers and remember that wc-ed pikes can put up a good fight against soldiers. You lost this game coz you didn't have MC. Spam units at all times, you need MC. Isengard can't camp. Nice usage of Saruman and Lurtz. Good move in taking devastation instead of rain, rain is almost useless in this match-up. Remember that Isen is very capable of getting and holding of map. Especially with the containment strat.

Improvements:
  • Use your uruks. You don't have much time before knights. Creep with them if nothing else.
  • Good Gondors will almost always try HS rush. Be prepared. Towers.
  • Spam more units. Isengard is about unit spamming to get & keep map control.
  • Plan to destroy armory as soon as possible especially if you don't have mc.
Highlight of the match:
1 treb shot kills entire FU pike batt, no survivors. Moments later 1 treb shot cripples entire wc combo, only 2 archers remained. gg no re. ohmy.gif

Entertainment Rating: 4
Overall Rating: 5

K i will be blunt like I always am.


I couldnt watch this game anymore, U just refused 2 go anywhere near his base with your knights. U got armour, why didnt u get blades aswell, maybe one more knight batt. that would have been 4 FU knight batts ripping apart his base with elf summon support which u never actually bought at the point i quit. Instead u were just hovering around the middle of the map w8ing for his wargs 2 come out and play.

Frustrating 2 watch even on fastforward..sorry

This shoulda been over quick with some MICRO, sammy played so badly, jsut what were u doing. Show some initiative man, he had nothing and u make a workshop..u dont need that untill he has combos and siege. Just make gandi, or combos instead.

Dont get me wrong, u showed u know the strat, but u just didnt use your knights 2 any of their potential.
