|PLOW|Wiz4rD (Rohan) Build Order: 2 Farms + Merry, Victoire peasant rush, Peasant spam, Stables, Rohirim, Ents Upgrades, Yeomen and Elves, Aragorn, Theoden PP: Draft, Elven Allies, Heal, Anduril, Ents, Army of the Dead
Good, aggressive start. Excellent constant harassment. Good use of the elf summons. Nice creeping.
Lost Rank 9 Rohirim dueing the first big camp siege because you weren't micro'ing them. Left your door open and lost the chance to back up your ents and win the game quicker.
Comments: An excellent game. When you first ent mooted you let the wargs get inside your castle and lost your Rohirim so you couldn't back up your ents. I would have waited a bit longer before creating the moot and HS rushed him a few times to keep the armoury down and then gone in with twice the Rohirim and some peasants to take care of the pikes and the game would have ended right there.
Good late game strategy and no matter how many times he re-made his camp he was never going to win after your elves were high ranked and you got AotD.
Extra mill workers. Kept a lot of map control all through the game against a tough harassing opponent. Good harassing.
Trample in line formation with wargs. Poor armoury and warg pit positions. Took outposts and was stretched too thin to defend them properly. Suffered desperately from not being able to get the fire upgrade because of a poor armoury position.
Comments: A reasonable start and some good harassment but it started to fall apart when he mooted you because you built your armoury in a very poor position and he easily destroyed it. When you rebuilt your base you even put the warg pit back in the same place and it kept getting destroyed.
Your lines were stretched too thin because you were trying to rebuild important buildings all the time instead of spamming the correct troops. In the end you were lucky to take the opportunity to take down his castle but after that you failed to cast Rain before trying to finsh him off and ran straight into all the elves plus Aragorn, Theoden and a statue without re-casting Rain and you got hammered and handed him AotD.
After that it was prtty much impossible to win.

Match Comments
A very good match to learn from for Rohan. Isengard starts well but then gets slowly taken down although he puts up a good fight.
Oh well no great game imo, but i did neither play or review it so my opinion dont matter.
But why the heck d rohan not get just 1!!, a single bat of peasnts to own all the pikes on his side of map and destroy half of isen eco? Some FU peasnts mixed to other harrasing force are standard in this matchup, as they are damn effective. Gerrard dont build em and get a 8?
And all what shark did was hope for horses riding into his pikes what happened by kinda lot times.
Nice showoff how effective elves are vs Isen but not more imo
edit: just did watch it till the end, Rohan really lost the last bat of horses aswell .......... and did rather loose whole base then to just build 1 set of peasants
and for all u Isens out there - get some balistas in endgame espacially when fighting aragon
