Battle for Middle Earth

There was a point about 2 weeks ago when approximately 10 replays in the first page of the 1v1 section had you in them. I submit to you that no-one is so crap at playing that they need THAT much feedback all in one go.

As a general rule of thumb the only reason why you should post a rep of you winning is if it was a good clse game against someone who is atually a good player otherwise how do you expect people to give you feedback if your win was an easy one. If you lose then you are entitled to advice on why but posting several games in one go just overloads the page with, what looks like, narcisistic self agrandisement. You will actually end up making the RR's actively refuse to review your reps because they hate being spammed and will boycott your replays, so you are actually being counterproductive. Thus we find that your replays don't get reviewed because people find your spam of replays to be annoying. I must admit that ANOTHER replay starring sjosty beating up some noob or getting twatted by a good player does not thrill me with anticipation.

Learn to moderate your requests for help to a steady flow rather than a huge dump. Spamming topics is just as bad as spamming posts in a topic. Yes, you are, technically, following the rules but the rules did not anticipate someone posting 7 reps of themselves in quick succession. That is a situation you may well prompt a NEW rule about if you continue to just post replays indescriminately.

ok i understand

but of the dump of reps i posted back thani only needed 3 for review
also it is said somewhere that ANY replay can be usefull not only close calls or losing games.

i must say that i do understand your point deamon and i wont massivly post reps anymore but can you also understand my point? that i find it weird that after 3 weeks i suddenly hear that my reps will be locked if i bump em again?

If you bump these 3 reps because these are the one's you really want reviewing then I am happy for that to happen. If you confine yourself to similar groups of reps in the future then I can't see there ever being a problem.

good glad its solved

BO- Pit, Furn, 2 mills

PP Selection- WC--> Industry--> Rain--> Balrog--> Land--> Palantir--> Fuel the Fires

Strat- Uruks--> X-Bows--> Zerks--> Pikes--> Lurtz--> Grades--> 2 pit spam--> Seige--> Combos--> Saruman


Pros
Extra labourers
Good formation use
Good harassment early/mid game
MC most of the game
Used Sarumans "speech craft" ability
Good defending v ents
Excellent unit spam early on - allowed you to get nearly the entire map

Cons
Poor creeping (1/6)
Unit micro
Balrog use - left him doing nothing or made silly mistakes
Hero micro

Comments- Your early game was not bad, but i think sending your starting uruks straight across the map was a bit risky, if he was faster with his starting peasents he could of got maybe even your second mill down. I was amazed at how you was able to spam out so many units with only 2 mills and 2 furns for the majority and you held him off well. Very fortunate that you got fire arrows in time for his ent attack, but why didn't you move your combos and archers? he was only throwing rocks so it would of been easily avoidable, however during that time you sent your pikes around the map and took nearly entire map control which gave your econ the added boost you needed. You could of finished this game faster if you were more sharp with your seige, you has the units but not the seige. Once you got your balrog you could of certainly finished it there and then, but you used him poorly the first 2 times and you got lucky on the 3rd attempt, i recommend you go and check out str8razors balrog guide. In my eyes the balrog did win it for you in the end, AoD just cant compare to balrog when it comes to taking down a castle.

Rating- 7

BO- 2 farms in, Merry, 2 farms out

PP- Draft--> Elves--> Heal--> Ents--> AoD--> Anduril--> Cloud break--> Land

Strat- Peasents--> Rohirrim--> Grades--> Theoden--> Peasents--> Ents--> Lego--> Horse shields--> Aragorn--> Combos--> Fire--> Elves


Pros
Good formation use on horses
Good creeping (5/6)
Good harassment throughout the game
Good use of elves summon
Horse micro
Used lego train archers ability
Hero micro

Cons
Poor upgrades rush - even lost a horse battalion
Could of used your bought ents better
Small competing army for most of the game
Slow to use GC several time
Didn't make enough horses once you got GC

Comments- Your early game was also not bad but you took the long way with your starting peasents to get to the isens mills therefore giving him enough time to get some extra uruks to defend. If you had gone the shorter way you could of easily taken down his first mill and possibly even the 2nd. Once you got your Rohirrim out you harassed well and creeped excellently and it gave you the wanted PP for elves. In my opinion the game changing moment was when you bought ents, you had already seen he had fire arrows so it wasnt much of a problem for him, that 5000 could of been spent much better on an army and aragorn. While your ents were building, you allowed him to go around the entire map and take all of your farms, even 1 horses could of defended against it. It was hard to tell for most of the game whether you were at a disadvantage or not, but you did make some excellent moves and also some poor one, with your combos you didn't micro them very well and they ended up giving isen alot of PP. Your hero micro was excellent for the most part, and you done well to only lose what you did. It was an inevitable finish, where unless you could of took his castle and outposts down fast, he would eventually got his balrog use correct.

Rating- 6
