Review by: AniMatoR
Starting positions:
Team 1 - Bottom
Team 2 - Top

Overview:

Rohan vs Isengard where Isengard was half asleep. The start was decent, Rohan chose not to mass peasy spam but instead get really fast rohirrim. Isengard managed to take 2 farms down at the start which was quite good but after that it all went downhill. Rohan did one attack and one attack only, was a nice attack with full LD, shame Isengard didn't have even 1 upgrade at that point.

Team 1 - HungryUruk - Isengard

You did a pit/furn start and ran straight through mid, you killed both peasants, but if i were you i would take 1 mill before you go through mid, you then take the second mill with a laborer from your first mill. You had a good start killing any peasants that came through and killed both his farms. But after that it went downhill. You took only 1 creep, you didn't really take map control and by the time you got wargs he already had upgrades and could take them out. You then got an armory but by that time he had 4 FU combos with Aragorn and Theoden, it was GG.


* Like i said if you are gonna do pit/furn start take 1 mill too for better economy.
* Spam pikes really fast and send the through mid and the top creeping as much as possible. Taking only 1 creep the entire game is simply not good enough, if you feel he has peasants nearby to stop you creeping have zerks with them. Your pike spam really has to be big at the start.
* Vs Rohan fast wargs are always good but if you don't get enough creeps get fast upgrades then wargs.
* Have at least 7-8 laborers on each mill.
* Don't make lurtz before upgraded unless your economy is mad good.


It's hard to talk to you about all your mistakes etc and it seems you need a lot of help with Isengard especially mid-game so go to this topic and make a topic asking for help vs Rohan.

Team 2 - Legend_0f_Zelda - Rohan

Your early game wasn't too good, you didn't get a single mill down but without a peasant spam i wouldn't expect you to. So it's important next time to do so because not taking a single mill can be very bad but luckily this Isengard wasn't exactly pro. You went 2 Rohirrim which is not bad but please at the start be very careful you don't wanna lose these first bats. Don't run through pikes, don't run into chanted uruks in formation, don't even melee them, ignore them and go off to creep. Your creeping was good, you got 5 i believe and made peasants to kill pikes which was also nice. You made a quick OP which was quite strange, your money was good, his was quite bad, you got 4 combos, Aragorn and Theoden and he didn't have a single upgrade so it was gg.

* Peasant spam more at the start, always try to get 1 mill down at the start, it's important to kill his economy because Isengard are only strong and own Rohan with a good economy.
* Don't trample uruks at the start, especially if they are chanted, don't melee them just run off and creep.
* The best strat to do vs Isengard is normally 3 rohirrim peasant spam fast elves fast upgrades and hit their base and own them, i would recommend you do this vs a good Isengard player as what you did would never work vs a good/pro Isengard player, your upgrades would come too slow and the outpost would get destroyed very fast, you would also have no money to get Aragorn but there is nothing wrong with experimenting smile.gif
