Quite a gg I thought, this rep shows that wargs actually do have a good use v Gondor wink.gif

Sadly I got DC'ed literally seconds before the end so I doubt I'll get the win sad.gif

Only my second on CW as well.

I'll watch the replay. I played gamroth yesterday, he's pretty decent.

If he doesn't report and you want the win, watch your replay and make sure it's obvious you were going to win. If so, file auto-report tongue.gif

Btw, nice to see another player in cws smile.gif gl and keep spamming games.

Ram|OwnageRR vs [AoW]{F}Gamroth



Version > 1.03
Map > Fords of Isen
Races > Isengard & Gondor


Player 1 > Ram|OwnageRR

Starting BO > 2 Furnaces ~ uruk pit ~ 4 furnaces ~ armory
Strategy > uruks ~ bows ~ pikes ~ zerk ~ lurtz ~ upgrades ~ balistas ~ wargs ~ saruman
PP progression > WC ~ TL ~ palantir ~ industry

Pros

+ harassing
+ creeping
+ used formations correctly
+ killed his faramir early game
+ extra labourers
+ used palantir to uncloak his pippin
+ good saruman micro
+ combined army


Cons

- didn't build on his lower left spot for a very long time early game
- bad first TL
- lost much mill workers to just one soldier WTF.gif
- not very good escorting of balistas
- some friendly trebuchet fire
- a few times you let his troops with only 3 or less units live


Player summary

Nice game of you. Good harassemnt early game and you took MC very soon. Creeping was good too, but I think his creeping was just pretty bad too. Your strategy is really good; you went for wargs to counter his combined troops, but it wasn;t really necessary if you had uruks. Then such a games don't need to take that long. Also some bad escorting of balistas without pikes defence. Also some rushes could be very good, like a ladder rush, but your strat was good enough to win. A tip: use your palantir to fasten your wargs when you are chasing his horses, because you wasted actually a WC on it. Ealry game you better look out for EW when you are using WC (you could attack his farms at the back. Your saruman micro was really nice; blast his horses and then use wormtongue thum.gif I can't rate this game very high, because you had no competition of your enemy at all actually.


Player rating 5


Player 2 > [AoW]{F}Gamroth

Starting BO > 1 BS ~ 2 OF ~ 2 BS ~ 1 IF ~ stable
Strategy > faramir ~ horses ~ soldiers + archers ~ boromir ~ ranger squad
PP progression > EW ~ heal ~ summon elves


Pros

+ horse formations
+ canceled his WC early game
+ canceled his TLs (but took a little long till you canceled his first TL)
+ combined army


Cons

- forgot to use a soldier squad formation
- lost faramir really unnecessarily
- poor creeping
- poor harassment
- suicide actions
- no horse shields (could rush his base with that)
- too expensive horses

Player summary

Not a very good game of you. You started with 1 BS, 2 OF and then 1 BS, but you could have actually done that in the beginning already. You would have the money for that. You got harassed pretty bad and had a bad economey. So you got a late farmir which got killed very fast without using him. After that you bought horses way too expensive. You bought 3 squads which could survive whole game, so that was good and you didn't use your stalbe anymore, so why didn't you sell at. Now you had 3 unit building and he had MC. This caused you a pretty bad eco and he could overpower you. Another tip as I said in the cons that you didn;t bought horse shields. Horse shields are a good arrow buffer; you could HS rush him with it and he had much crossbows, so they would be more resistant to them.


Player rating 3


Entertainment rating 4


Overall rating 4
