Platysoma (Rohan on right) vs [BD]BattleWar (Gondor on left) Verion: 1.03 Map: Fords of Isen
Platysoma (Rohan on right):
Bo: 2 Farm in Base, 2 out, 1 Farm, Stable, Rohirm, Farm, 2 Rohirim, Well, Farm, Rohirm, Theo, upgrades PP Progression: Draft, Heal, Elvenwood Strategy: fast creeping to Theo to ups
Pros: + got 4/6 creeps + saved lot of injured Rohirim + sold Armory after upgrades
+/- tried haras but impossible after Gandalf for u
Cons: - floating money all Game - Theo when all creeps were gone - Stable in base all game - lost Heros constantly to Gandalf - no counter to Gandalf - 1 unit army most game
Comments: You floated far too much money to have a chance in this game - therefore your 1. creeping Rohirm were allready intercepted and it continued like that - u gotta get Stables right when u got 600, Farms when u got 350 and so on - Theo u got at 2800. Also u didnt find a counter to Gandalf, counters to Gandalf are fast ents to not let him get him, GC, Aragon with Anduriel (u had PP for it), Fire, Legos hawkstrike maybe aswell. Your micro in fights was also not very good - dont have a Theo right in middle of Knights and Gandalf - sure he dies like that when being level 1, try to avoid Wizward blast by running away when u see he cast it and dont run away when he use his blitz thats kinda pointless - he s weak while casting it. Also u seemed to have no real strat - u got theo and upgrades same time kinda late - get either of it fast or save for ents and rush. Have a look into Rohan strategy section for more detailed strats.
Rating: 3+
[BD]BattleWar (Gondor on left):
Bo: BS and Farm, 2 Farms out, 2 Farms in, Stable, 4 Knights, fill with Farms and well, Horseshields, 3 Statues, Gandlaf PP Progression: Heal, White, Elvenwood Strategy: Horseshields to Gandalf to combos and TG to protect Siege
Pros: + intercepted his creeping and stole 1 creep + delete stables after Horseshields + decent Gandlf micro + use of wedge Formation to kill buildings + total mapcontrol after Gandalf + good protection of Siege
Cons: - no offensive use of OP start units - nearly lost a level 2 bat knights to 1 Warg and lost the creep - lost 1 bat knights by letting it fight while allready injured - lost all map while saving for Gandalf - upgrading while having only 3 BS
Comments: A good Gondor game, u floated money very few money untill Gandalf and used Gandalf well, Rohan could just not stand a chance with level 1 Heros and no fire vs him. But watch your cons, if u send 1 bat soldiers to attack, Rohan gotta get some peasants and delays his stables, watch knights when creeping and upgrading with 3 BS all game should really not happen.
Rating: 5

just keep Theoden behind your army - cause istari kills him instantly if he s only slaightly inmjured so heal dont help - on higher gandlaf level he instatly kills theo level 1 even when not injured - thjats why u need level theo more early if u plan to get him

I see tommy, though my plan was to let him istari and then heal after, didnt work out to well tho, because of my timing Ill keep him back abit more
But i could realy use some help in this matchup, since i dont know where i went wrong.
Iam looking forward to a review, to see my mistakes.
Unofficial/tips are also very appreciated.
Thanks
Platysoma
edit: lol i spelled his name wrong it should be [BD]Battlewar
