G3RRARD (Gondor) Build Order: 2 farm in and 2 farms out PP: Heal -> Elves -> GTW -> Eagles -> AotD Strat: Knights -> Uppgrades -> Archers ->.
Got Cage down on several occasions Took out his OP Good hs rush when it finaly came Good constant harassing Killed Nazgul and WK lvl 10 gandy + knight bat Nice creeping with pip early game
Lost Boromir, Faramir and Gandy Very passiv early/mid game. Where was the hs rush? Cash floating like crazy Gandy just standing around initially Lost lvl 10 knight very stupidly late game
Comments: I don't get it. How can this game be +200k? You should have finished him off way sooner. You did a good start, got mc, harrased him to death. Then you had the opportunity to hs rush him. Whent for the base, and then turned around letting him damage 2 knight batts with one troll at north op. Then you have FU knighs, + elves and take out the Cage. But WHY don't you move in and kill him off? You have elves for the 1 troll that was left, and you had heal. Don't get me started on the cash. You could have had both brothers on the field helping out + some archers, trebs etc way sooner in the game. You did well most of the game thou, always harassing, taking out key buildings. You are a very good player, and this was in no way a bad performance, but with all that cash, you just should have gotten the necessary units out, and killed him off. I'm a bit disappointed tbh.
Extra workers Scouted with a worker Good Gollum use to protect mills Killed Faramir, Boromir and Gandy Nice creeping with orcs Nice rush on the 2nd Gondor base, taking it out. Good balrog use. Did what you could Good base defence
Sell your mills. Don't give gondor PP + lvl up knights Poor creeping at bottom OP with harads Don't chase knights into gondor base with troll Lost naz etc on several occasions Didn't rebuild workers on closest mill
Comments: Well, your early game was not that great. Defended off the solder rush pretty well, and then got a creep with orcs, but also lost harads stupidly at lower OP when creeping. When Gondor dident took advantage of his early game, you did show how good you are with Mordor, but in the long run, it wasn't enough. I think the mumaks was a bad move, a 2nd cage would have been better, especially after the 1st pen got killed at the op. In the end, you seemed to have given up, but still managed to stay in the game, making gerrard fight hard for the win. Not a bad game, but I have seen you better for sure.
Rating: 6
----------------------------------------
Comments: The early game was not that exiting, but it did eventually turn out to be a very entertaining game, with bases going down, balrog and aotd appearing + gandy lvl 10. Many have said this is silver for sure, but I cant agree, simply because Gondor should have won this way sooner + to many minor, but still sloppy misstakes. There is no excuse for why Gondor didn't finish Mordor off with a hs rush. He had the cash, the units and the opportunity was there over and over again. Grenn did what he could to stay alive, but mainly did it cuz of passiv play by Gondor. Still, very entertaining and a rotw contender..

HS rush , is horse shield rsuh . forces of darknes dont have wall, but have towers. horse shield specialises in the defence for cav from arrows. e.g. towers.
Just watched the replay. Very good job G3rrard . Always like to see Gondor wins.
My short comment: - 1st 2 soldier bats attacked Grenns econo just enough to get initiative - knights micro was awsome, haven't seen that since 1.02, at least in 1st half of the match - constant pressure and harrasing was great - excellent use of AOD, eagles and Gandy
Too bad that was not capitalized in middle-game. You had like 10.000 money and 150/200 pop. Hello! In the late middle game the castle should fall the 1st time. Later when it felt and was soon after destroyed and Mordror started a siege, Gondor again had 15.000 money, sth like 100/200 and didn't retake the castle (wih 1 bat of knights for example). G3rrard, you should hire a manager to take care of your finances - investments and so. You played 70% of the game with money between 10.000 and 24.000). If you have 10.000 plus money and not full pop, you should build defences in the castle (trebs, SW, 2nd archery, whatever). Of course you already know all that.
But, as I always say, perfect play is ownage, it's mistakes that makes all the fun and great replays.
. Always like to see Gondor wins.
