very entertaining game imo plz review

gold

Mine!

barghhhhh, my micro was so sucky
but green did very well aswell, espacially as he knew my strat as it was rematch

[NOON]Grenness (Isengard)

BO- Pit, Furnace, 2 mills

PP Selection- War chant--> Industry--> Rain--> Land--> Balrog--> Fuel the Fires

Strat- Uruk spam--> Wargs--> Pikes--> Upgrades--> X-Bows--> Combos--> Lurtz--> Saruman


Pros
Extra labourers
Good harassment
Great unit micro most of the times
Map control throughout most of the game

Cons
Poor creeping (2/6)
Didn't destroy your armoury after all your upgrades for a long time
Cash floating
Hero micro

Comments- Your early game was excellent, and you took both of his mills, while being able to regain both of yours before his knights came out. Once you began to pump out your wargs, you pressed across the map and began to harass his knights and economy. You done an excellent job in getting your units across the map and being able to maintain alot of map control throughout the game. Your constant harassment on his northern outpost stopped his from being able to make any formidable archer force to face your wargs. Once you took the southern outpost you pumped out some rams and pressed forward to his castle. You had several chances to kill his gandy, but you was always too slow with lurtz's pin, allowing his to istari lurtz and run away safely. You seige on the castle wasn't great and gondor tore your army apart. Luckily however you got Balrog not long after and took the castle down. Your balrog micro wasn't great, and i recommend you reading Str8 razors Balrog for Dummies guide which shows how to take both Rohan and Gondor down with 1 balrog.

Rating- 6



tommynt (Gondor)

BO- 2 farms in, Pippin, 2 farms out

PP- Land--> Heal--> Elves--> Rohirrim--> Gandy white--> Eagles--> Army of the Dead

Strat- Knights--> Soldiers--> Horse shields--> Upgrades--> Tower guards--> Archers--> Gandy--> Faramir


Pros
Good harassment
Good creeping (4/6)
Excellent use of your summons
Good defending of your castle

Cons
Formation use - Running in wedge formation
Horse micro - running in wedge, running over pikes
Slight cash floating
Layed land down first - you knew he had it

Comments- You early game ok, and you took his mill down, but unfortunatly he took both of your mills and regained his own. Once you got your knights out, you straight across the map to harass his economy more, and you also was able to creep 4 of the possible 6, which gave you some much needed PP. Once you began to make soldiers you seemed to lose you full map awareness and began to make a few mistakes all over the map. He never let the pressure up at your northern outpost which led to you finally losing it, after several small battles. Your gandy use was great, and you got him up to rank 9 after killing countless units and your defence of your castle was good. It is hard however to stop a balrog now that gandy has been nerfed and you also lossed him. The inevitable finally happened and he took your final outpost with the balrog. Better horse micro and map awareness and you could of turned this game around.

Rating- 6

Final Comments

Overall a very good game to watch, with alot of action happening all over the map however, there was way too many mistakes to give this a higher rating. Constant units losses and hero micro just made this short of a possible rating of 7.

Overall Rating- 6
Entertainment- 7

damn I knew that my micro was bit too bad

I bet it d have been higher rating if i timed rebuild Zita better instead lacking money to do in end, sry for that

It would of been higher if you both had better unit micro and didn't lose heroes so often/stupidly, u done good though

very good review light. silver next time tommy!

Hi,

i saw this replay, and i must say, its really great, i wish i could play gondor like tommy.

But i have a qestion. I think the gamerate goes till 10. I think a 10/10 is a perfect game, and nobody can do it perfect. 5/10 i think is middleskill. And i think this game was a 8/10, because both of them played prolike, but not perfect.

But i dont understand wy a game like this only get a 6/10, a little bit better then middleskill.

It seems to me, that since 1.03 the scale ist only x/8

This is no criticism, and its hard for me to wrote this, because my english is only 3/10 . I hope you understand me not wrong.

thx

There was far too many micro mistakes and hero stupidly easy hero losses for this to go any higher. An 8 rating is players playing at almost the very top of their game with very little mistakes, and there was too many mistakes. This was a good game, but it isn't deserving of anything higher then a 6. You have to be able to tell the difference between an entertainment rating and an overall player rating. I stand by my ratings and that is final, if you think you can rate games better then apply for a RR
