Rise of Legends

The-Golden-M
Vinci

BO: Mer x2, Ind, Mil
RO: Prosp 1, 2, Min 1, Poli 1

Pros
Steam Fortress looked promissing
Defense towers on Mines
Somehow got a Bunkerfort up


Cons
Slacking as far as speed from the get go
Lack of pressure throught most of the game (some exceptions)
Couldnt get Piratas up and running efficiently


T1-309 Tips
Well, Im not too sure what cost you the game, but imo, I think it was the relics, it took you a while to get your first few buildings up, and I really do think it cost you way too much in the long run. My only advice, is to try for relics better.



Parlay
Cuotl

BO: Reac x4
RO: Zeal 1, Judg 1, 2, Zeal 2

Pros
Early Quetzals and Zeal to set up a decent army early on
Great pressure on mines, and good Micro
Great Air control with Storm Disks and Quetzals


Cons
Little pressure on other cities
Bad micro with miners, lol
Didnt notice the Bunker Fort going up next to your army


T1-309 Tips
Well, winning with Cuotl says something, and something big when its against a great player. You obviously know something about them, BUT, I would suggest watching your miners better, lol, and perhaps using a few sun cannons to create some GREAT pressure.


Game Summary
This game was a perfect game if you are Cuotl and want to know what you have to do to take charge of a game. With incredible Micro from both players, its incredibly hard to pinpoint what tipped the game to Parlay, it could have been early air units, or early Zeal 2 to fend off any rush, or maybe just Relics. Overall, everyone should watch this game.


Ratings

Entertainment: 7/10

Overall: 7/10

hmm 7/10 a silver rating, must have been a damn good game, how old is this? might have to give it a watch.

Most of T1 replays are overrated. You need to change your rating system slightly.

I wonder how would he rate the game between ice vs astheruinsfall on burial ground which is already 9 rated.

lol, didnt I do that review? with ice and atrf, trust me, I think its a 7/10, a 7/10 shows game knowledge, micro control, tactics, etc. above 8, is all that, but at a more superior level, below 5 shows many mistakes, and a 8, or 9 is basically a flawless game where a few decisions contributed to the inebitible loss of someone.

Junaid did the Ice vs Ruins Gold Replay Review.

just remembered that, and Junaid, for not having and RoL staff at all, the ratings dont have a "set" chart to go by. And by most of my reviews, do you mean when I had RR priveleges? Or the 2 that I just did now?

you could do what the cc3 reviewers do and give every game an "Outstanding" and "Excellent" score (they use terms like that instead of numbers). It's so funny, Im used to BFME and Rol low scores for every game and then I go to cc3 and see EVERY game get high marks...

Thats hilarious.. I dont think we could do that cause I would be too tempted to use funny words... "Stupendously terrifico!" comes to mind..

Nothing beats the game Cow vs. Smurf. It should've been the ROTW but, hell, I can't get into the RoL staff room.

Another point: when Golden M got that first Steam Fortress up, I was wondering if Parlay could handle jugs right there and then (his army, I recall, was Czin + snake + sents + ark + 1 or 2 quetzals). To my surprise, I didn't see such a good anti-Cuotl unit until there were too many air units and sun idols out!

But yeah, that was scary (good) play by Parlay there. Makes me wonder whether I should jettison Div1/Div2 early game for Zeal 1/2!

Not too sure, but I have been dabbing with an early zeal, its pretty good, but it hampers LC and Hero time.. obviously, I usually dont go for zeal two until I get another city though..
