Myth +Tai (Gondor/Isen on left) vs Platy+SndRversus (Mordor/Gondor on right):
Verion: 1.03
Map: Anorien


Myth +Tai (Gondor/Isen on left)

Bo/ Strat: G: 3 Horses > ups > Gandlaf > Faras, Trebs and horses
I: uruk spam, all ups, middle and combos, Saruman

Pros:
+ good early game presure
+ hiding hobbit or their mill
+ doublechant with soldiers
+ fast ups for Gondor made a nice sneak attack
+ kinda total control of game and map

Cons:
- no pikespam to support your Gondor vs other Gondor
- huge amounts of floating money for Isen all game
- bad buildorder by Gondor
- horrible passive gameplay by Isen
- fighting Troll with Knights
- lacking teamplay and coordinated attacks
- bad Saruman and overall like no unit use or micro from Isen
- saving for Gandalf instead supporting Isens attack with some horses to take out Catas
- very late siege weapons - could have so easily killed Gondor with some rams and the combos
- Gandalf lost when casting 1. time

Comments: You both had a kinda great early game with good use of soldiers from Gondor and a uruk spam from Isen.
But weriedly Isen didnt use his great eco but floated money instead and then got Saruman instead just killing either of the opponents of with some more units. Nice sneak attack from Gondor - u could have even killed him off by spliting up Knights and killing buildings on both side of base while outmicroing Troll. Saving for Gandlaf was definately a bad Idea when seeing that your teammate was going to attack, not to speak of his use. Remember that drummers give ls to Catas!

Rating: 4+

Platy+SndRversus (Mordor/Gondor on right):

Bo/ Strat: G: 3 Horses > Fara > ups > rebuild base
M: trying to survive > Troll and Catas

Pros:
+ counter chant with land
+ good early use of Knights
+ decent sharing of powers
+ survived
+ Catas and Trolls from mordor were good unit choise

Cons:

- horrible early game, loosing loads of units to neutral Troll/wargs
- a bit too many early towers made mordor have even worse eco
- gollum should pillage others mills, he suck at defending
- late ups and open gate from Gondor
- lost lvl 5 horses in hopeless fight
- some single Troll wasteage
- generally no too good unit micro

Comments: What a bad bad early game, what u should do is send gollum and 1 orc to haras Isen mills while 1 orc stays back to defend the usuall uruk rush, Gondor should hold his units together and defend mordor mills and his own Farm.
Gondors decent early horse use made u able to stay in game when mordor really had like nothing, but the real reason why mordor could stay allaive when having nothing was the horrible huge Isen cashfloating and passive gameplay.
U had decent teamwork by time and did wait for your opponent to make the mistakes they did.

Rating: 4+


General Notes on the game: Some good moments but some huge mistakes in this game. Isen playing horrible passive and floating money like crazzy did keep other team allive which possible took advantage of that. Overall unit micro was lacking from all players, by times it seemed a bit lagy, for example when Troll needed ages to grab tree.
Replay stoped working some time after Gandalf died. If u think that I might have missed some great gameplay and moments after, ask another rr to review or finish this 1.

Entertainment: 5

Overall Score: 5-
